🫤 Came in last night to finish our mugs, and as it got nearer to closing time, the staff couldn't have been more obvious and abrasive about wanting to get out. They close at 8, we were done at 8. There shouldn't have been a problem. Would've loved to come back as the place itself is great. But don't w... People often mention paint, time,

    I've been here quite a few times. Lots to paint, although I wish the variety of figurines was a little wider. They do switch it up quite often though and the prices are very reasonable. It's a good place to go with a group or on your own and if you need to leave before finishing your masterpiece you can always go back to complete it!

    Great spot to take kids or a date! Staff is helpful and informative. Many varieties of colours and brushes and things to paint. We spent a few hours here being creative and artistic. Will definitely go back again, but bring your own drink, they don't actually serve food or drink, I thought at least cafe style drinks.. But no. That'd be great if they did though! I could have enjoyed a drink why the kids finished up!

    I looooove this place! Such a laid back atmosphere. They have so many different pieces to choose from. Some options are low-priced and others are a bit more expensive but everything is quite affordable. The turnaround time is pretty quick, we had our pieces back within a week the last time we visited. All of the staff is very helpful and are always available to answer any questions. I love coming here on a weekday in the early afternoon because it is usually quiet and you can just relax and paint some pottery. Great place for adults and kids alike!

    This place is awesome! I went for the first time with a few friends, and I honestly didn't even want to go.. I thought it was such a lame idea, and boy was I wrong! I had such a blast! It's a lot of fun (even for those who don't feel skilled with the arts). The staff were always friendly, but they didn't badger me all the time either. Anytime I needed help trying something new they were great with suggestions and tips. The music is good and it's a nice atmosphere.

There shouldn't have been a problem. Would've loved to come back as the place itself is great. But don't want my hands shaking fom stress while I finish up a delicate painting as you're yelling to your coworker about how you're going to miss your bus.

    I love this place. Love it. From the awesome staff ( lookin at you Jen), to the cool music, the atmosphere, the hours....all of it. There really is nothing in the least negative to say. We are one by one, replacing all of our daily dishware to use the cool stuff we made here! It's our family date place, and my only wish is that there was another location in the downtown area to play at. :) I see people mentioning the price, but they provide you with the pieces, the paint, you don't clean up, they fire it in a kiln for you and bring it back for pick up......it just makes sense. None of the piece look like they were "made in China", and if they did, it's because those people painted it to look that way. They look like basic unfired items, ready to paint. I'm not even sure what the reviewer was expecting. A plate is a plate, you know? Having said that, you get to critique or compliment. I happen to tell everyone new to the city or visiting that this is a great way to spend time and commemorate their visit here.

    Way more expensive than expected. Took us 4.5 hours to paint our mugs. We live an hour away so coming back a few times to finish wasn't an option.
