Went to the Grovetown location and we had a great time. The lady in charge was dealing with a difficult individual and she handled the situation smoothly. She kept her positive attitude, made us feel safe and was not rushing us at all. We will definitely be back for more project .

Love love love! No appointment needed, just walk in and create!! Came here with some girls from work and had a great time. I made a cute pumpkin and a mermaid cup. They have events throughout the month too. Pick up is only a couple days. You can also reserve the party room for larger groups! I love my fired pieces!

Oh my god this is the cutest little spot ever! Took my boyfriend here and we both picked different things to paint. They have an impressively large selection sure to fit anyone in the family. They also do events such as wine night. I HIGHLY recommend coming here. They are reasonably priced as well.

My wife has been taking our daughter here since her birthday this past year and we've been often since. I myself have painted two MASTER-pieces, my wife a couple, and our daughter even more. Upon entering we're greeted, and asked what brought us in. By this time my daughter has already picked a piece and is waiting to choose her paint palate.
Looking around you can choose from so many different options. Some things you can paint are mugs, (wine) glasses, measuring spoons, figurines, piggy-banks, plates, and other kitchen items. We usually stick with the awesome 'party animals

We are really into painting kindness rocks and I heard about this place. I took my daughter for her birthday not knowing what to expect. The staff is so friendly and patient, and helped guide us since it was our first time there. You pick out what you want to paint and that's what you pay for. The studio fee, the paint, firing and glazing are all included with whatever you choose to paint. We picked our pieces - a frog cup for her and a shark for me, found a table and got our paint. Brushes, paper towels, and a water bowl are all on your table waiting for you. We spent about an hour here
