The one-one-one pottery experience was so much fun for our family! The kids took such pride in making their own pieces from start to finish. The staff is wonderful, kind, and very helpful. We always enjoy our visits!

FYI Parents, I was told that you now have to be 10 years old to do any glass work. I was informed as my 7 year old and myself were in the middle creating a new night light for her room and were not able to finish. We had created glass ornaments for Christmas just a few weeks prior and signed waivers. I understand policies change but wish we would have known before starting the project. BUMMER!

My family of 7 went on a Saturday night and it was not packed. It was a great experience. Everything is organized for customers to self serve. The staff were helpful. We all had a blast and created memories.

What started as a random date idea turned into a few hours of laughs and questionable painting skills. When one first enters the location, you are greeted by various colorful displays showcasing just some of what you can do. The main room has a lot of tables set up for those doing the pottery, and many many shelves filled with options of items to paint! It can be a little confusing if it is your first time on the process of what to do, but the staff are friendly and quick get you off on your journey to become a professional pottery painterat least that is what I told myself as I was painting

My daughter had her 7th birthday party here and it was a hit! The private party rooms are spacious and were set up nicely before the party began. They also put together nice favor bags too for the kids, which I was not expecting and put together a cute balloon bouquet for my daughter. Julie and the staff were also very kind and super patient. It was fun and we would do it again. Thank you!

This place is great. There is a variety of crafts one can pick to do. The one we always go for is painting pottery. The pottery choices are decent and a good amount. Although, I think the selection could be better compared to other places I have been to. This is also true for the painting brushes and materials. They were not the best to paint with. The paint selection is pretty good though! The painting experience was great. It has plenty of space to walk around and between tables. And the staff is nice and attentive throughout the whole painting experience.
