Ceramics For You 2

Went here for a team building/​holiday party. They have a little room in back which was perfect for us and we were able to bring wine with us! They helped us pick out our items and walk is through the process. They are all super helpful and friendly. Tons of options for ceramics to paint and a ton of colors. It is a bit pricey but it’s good for little events or parties

Very helpful! Just pay the price of the product of ceramics. Everything else include the price. If you enjoy painting, this is the place to go. They also order a customized clay if you want. After the painting they will fire it. It will take about a week. All the staff there was very helpful and took their time to help us. We stayed about three hours. It is fun if you enjoyed art and doing the painting. Kids will enjoy it. What is nice about is that… there are no hidden fees after you buy the products of ceramics. If the ceramic cost 19.95 then you ll pay 19.95 plus taxes. No other fee like paints, studio fee or sitting fee like other places I have gone. So have fun and enjoy at this place.

I’m HOOKED, YO! Ceramics is thought-​crushing-​serenity. In other words — PEACEFUL. I can’t tell you what a fabulous de-​stresser this is! I always thought that this ceramic painting debacle was cheesy and for little kids. I was SO wrong.
I was happily surprised to see the variety of different ceramics to choose from! It’s not just cheesy little kids figurines! They’ve got all kinds of things including cheesy kid figurines, Plates, Dishes, Serving bowls and serving plates, tea cups, coffee mugs, tea pots, large piggy banks, and then a whole variety of seasonal Holiday items — i.e., there was a bunch of Easter decorations since Easter is coming up. I actually had a hard time choosing what to paint because I saw several different things I wanted to do!
I finally chose my ceramic, a lovely serving dish (approximately 4 inches by 16 inches) and sat down to paint! There’s a whole bunch of different colored paints, and even different TYPES of paints. Then there’s a bunch of different «accessories» to help you paint. There’s also some painting «idea books» if you are having a tough time being creative on your own. The employees are also a helpful resource in terms of «tips».
The store has 2 long tables for general public. Then there’s a large party area, and a small party area. The store was nice and bright, fun, colorful, and clean. There’s brushes, paint holders and munchies on the table for everyone.
The ONLY reason I didn’t give 5-​stars is due to the price. I had no idea how expensive this stuff was! My son did two things: one was a little horse figure, about 2 inches by 3 inches and a coffee-​mug, and I did the serving plate — and our total bill was $ 75. Yikes! I have no idea if this is pretty standard pricing or what since this was my first time. BUT, it will give us a couple hours of entertainment, so I was ok to pay. It could be a deterrent for some folks though. HOWEVER, with that being said, I understand that if you join their mailing list that they occasionally send like coupons or promotions.
Overall, I highly recommend this place. We had so much fun, and I can’t wait to go back and finish my piece! My painting was kinda intricate, and after 2-​hours my piece isn’t done so I have to go back (which is kinda cool, cuz i’m actually excited. It gives me something to look forward to!). I’m kinda hooked. I have a feeling this is going to become an expensive hobby, because I can’t believe what an awesome feeling it is to sit there and just paint! You focus only on the paint — and your mind just goes blank. Amazing. Even my 16 year-​old son had fun and wants to go back!
Just an FYI that it does take about a week to get your pieces back. Once you finish, they have to like set for a day or so, and then they’re put in the kiln, and then they set again. So sounds like it takes almost a week.

This is the second location of a privately owned do-​it-​yourself ceramics store. Set up in the strip development near the soon-​to-​be changed Dominick’s on Grand, this place is set up with shelves of unfinished ceramic projects along both walls and tables with placemats for painting your piece in house.
It works like this: find something you want to paint, purchase it (all prices include the materials and firing along with the piece), paint it and give them about a week to have it finished for you. There are a variety of options from seasonal cups, mugs, plates, statuettes, covered dishes and more. Most pieces start at about $ 18 and go up from there based on size. If you want a fancy mottled glaze, they have many options to choose from and these are an addtional $ 6.50 for the jar. Otherwise, all of the paints, brushes, stencils, glazes are available in the place.
It seems like a great place for a kids party or a one-​of-​a-​kind gift for someone special. I saw families painting together with multiple generations. I also saw a twenty something couple painting a customized Jack-​o-​Lantern with their names cut out in the form. It’s a great idea and fun way to spend an afternoon,
