Just had my twins birthday party here & what a FANTASTIC TIME. The staff were friendly, attentive, fun, and very professional. These people obviously know their stuff and make you feel you can achieve anything you can dream of. Thank you all for a wonderful morning. A great way to start the day!!!!

My wife and I went there for a themed pottery night. What an awesome thing to do as a couple. We spent a few hours together talking and laughing with the staff, painted some pottery and had some snacks. Great experience, something you can do as a couple or a family. Will definitely be back, already thinking about my next project.

There was NO INSTRUCTION as per their ad, the paint was very thin resulting in poor quality colour, instead of vibrant colour, and the glazing (done by The Painted Turtle) had globs in it. We were very disappointed because we went to the workshop to learn NEW techniques of dotting. The instructor had never done Mandala dotting, so how could he instruct? This was NOT a workshop, it was a means for them to sell their product. Barb Moore Cook Barb Moore Cook Those 'magnificent' plates are NOT a result of your workshop. You advertised to 'come in and paint this beautiful mug'. When I saw that picture I wanted to learn from the person who did that mug. I thought I could learn new things from someone with that talent. The only instruction we were given was 'to start dotting'. We were not even shown the basics of making a mandala. IF the blobs of glaze were an easy fix, then why was I sent home with it not fixed? The plates looked like they had been washed in greasy dishwater. That is not what I want to display in my home or give as gift to someone. The issue with the paint being too thin was commented on many times throughout the evening...with no solution given.It was pointed out that the paint was so thin it was running down the lid of the container on to the table. To my amazement scrolling through a group for people that do dotted mandala's ..I come across a post of a piece that looked very familiar. People started naming the person who created it, so of course I went in search of her work. Well wasn't I shocked when I seen the exact same picture on her site that you used for your advertisement?? Talk about false advertising, just as you are doing in this post. I'm glad the other 2 ladies that were there are happy with their pieces..I'm sure the one girl was happier when I showed her how to make an actual Mandala on her mug.

Really nice place to visit to allow your creative and artistic side out. Nice selection of models to paint and decent pricing :)

So much fun. The owner and employees really strive to make sure that you have a great experience and are wonderful. We went for glitter shoe night.
