Very small section, the girl that was there was very rude and not helpful at all. She told us we had 40 min to paint and reminded us every 15 min or so. We felt very uncomfortable and rushed. I would not recommend this place! It is also pretty pricey for not being accompanying, we also realized when we left we were over charged as well!

Took my 6 year old niece for a day of painting. I have been to another place before, so my expectations were the high. Their selection was very small!!! Walked around for 10 mins looking for SOMETHING. Their kids section was even smaller. A shelf or two to choose from. For a small dish and a cheerleader, is was $ 50. $ 8 painting fee, per person. Cash or check only, be prepared. I would probably go some where else before I go back. It was okay.

This was a fun thing to go and do but a couple negatives. Cash or Check only It is REALLY expensive. My friend painted a bowl and we painted a small kids truck. The bowl was 23 $ and the truck was 26 $…WHAT? A nice thing to do on a rainy day or if you want to create something.

Had a good experience here today with my 1 year old. We came here to make handprint mugs for Christmas presents. First thing I noticed though was a sign that said cash or check only. The store itself was quaint and cute and the owner was very helpful and friendly. She helped me with getting my 1 year old to make handprints on the mugs. I didn’t get a chance to browse through all the items she had since I had my daughter with me, but the selection of mugs was great. I loved all the paint color options. Each mug was $ 16 and there was a $ 6 fee for painting and firing of your item(s). The lady said my pieces would be ready in a week so I cannot comment yet on the quality.

Such a cute little place! My son and I decided to go paint pottery one afternoon. We had a great time. They weren’t busy so the staff was able to help us with our creations. The prices were a bit higher than other places I have been and the hours are someone limited. We will definitely go back. The punch cards are great! Selection of times was good

Out on a Whim has to be the best pottery place in the area. It has a «at home» vibe being in an old house near downtown Glen Ellyn. The owner and workers make you feel at home and you are welcomed with advice about what and how to paint if you would like it. The store is well ran and professional. With the amount of pottery coming in and out each day, the owner does a great job of keeping track of orders and pottery. My family goes here almost every season and we’ve had a perfect experience every time! Highly recommended! =)

Went there on a Sunday afternoon, there was a birthday party going on. The noise was deafening, there were so many people there you could hardly walk around to choose your pottery. The owner was very nice and tried to make us feel welcomed, that’s why I give this place four stars.

What a fun place! I’ve been to other paint your own pottery places but this one is unique and definitely has it’s own cool style with many samples all over the cute house that gives you tons of ideas. Gretchen and Jess were great with our women’s group from church– very patient and helpful. This was a great break from the stress of life– I highly recommend you grab some friends and go!

I love this place. Fun, relaxing, and wonderful. Gretchen the owner is so thoughtful and helpful. She’ll happily set up later hours for a private party, and let you bring in booze and apps. She has creative stuff to paint, and walks you through the process. Such a great shop — I continue to go back and back. Great fun for kids too!

This is an adorable«paint your own pottery» shop just off of the«downtown» area of Glen Ellyn. Well worth the walk, it has a variety of items to paint from mugs to bowls to décor and much more. Both the inside and outside of this old converted house is decorated in hand-made items and totally sets the mood for painting pottery. While the prices can be considered high, it’s comparable to any other«paint your own pottery» shop I’ve ever been in. The turn around on your item getting fired is about a week and they have awesome colors to choose from. This is a great kid’s birthday party place, some where to go with your girls, or bring your guy if he’s not afraid of all things cute and kitsch.
