Highly Recommend this place. My son and I had a wonderful time at this place tonight. We went home with some wonderful artistic mosaic creations and a very memorable experience. Katie, who owns and operates this place was amazing with her customer service and very kind assistance. This was a bonding family experience and can be a great date idea too.

Went to celebrate a friend's birthday she wanted to do something different. When we arrived, nobody really greeted us. We kind of stood there until I said something.

I chose to do a ceramic piece. It was pretty expensive, too. I used to do to a community ceramic class and it was about 75% cheaper for the pieces. There was not really any guidance throughout the process. The girls doing the mosaics
