A Time To Kiln

Found our way here on a rainy day for some fun. We were provided very little instruction other than being given a piece of paper to complete. I didn’t quite understand the drill so when I brought my selection up I was told to go back and write down the item number and description. Granted not a big deal but with the 4 of us in the shop, all in my group, it seems like she could have been more helpful. I probably didn’t put enough coats on because I didn’t know — it was someone in my group who told me. Overall they were strict about the paint and not pleasant. Not mean but not friendly. Prices weren’t way off compared to what we have at home. When I finished I kept my paints for other folks in my group to use. Since my daughter was at a table where there was more than the allowed number of colors out, she couldn’t get another color even though she hadn’t used her 6 color allotment. You should also be prepared to clean out your paint tray. I am guessing if you have little children who want to do a small piece, you may do well.

Enjoyed our experience, however I cannot agree with the pricing. For ceramic painting you have to leave your piece to be fired and glazed, and pay a ‘studio fee’. It is understandable you have to pay for the glaze/​fire process but I feel those prices should be built into the size of the piece you’re painting. Instead, it’s $ 6 per hour per painter. So if you take 4 hours to paint a tiny piece your paying $ 24, if you take 1 hour to paint a huge piece it’s $ 6, (this is in addition to the price of the piece you’re painting).Basically felt like I was being charged to sit in their space, or for my own labor. the longer you sit the more you pay. if you do a canvas painting there’s no studio charge because you leave with it that day. soooo I could sit there for 12 hours with no absurd studio fee? Like I said I understand a fire/​glaze fee but really feel it should be evaluated to be flat fees, based on the size of the piece.

They are so set in their rules that they make it not fun to be there. My daughters were afraid to ask for refill on colors in case they asked for it wrong. With nothing to do, you would think they could be more helpful.

I came here for a party with about 20 people. The owner was not accommodating at all and rude. She spoke to us once in the beginning and then did not come back to check on us. We were going out after so we asked for aprons. Her assistant gave us a few then the owner snidely said to assistant «if you if any more out we’ll always have to do this». It was a terrible experience and on top of it all the bathroom was filthy! Do not waste your time and money here

Kind of bootleg in my opinion. Just wish I can actually make or create my own pottery and paint it. Everything is made and is left for the customers to just color.

Have been here three times and always had a good experience. It’s even great for little ones — my three-​year-​old loved it and had enough patience to paint a box and a gift for Father’s Day. My five-​year-​old painted a fairy on a unicorn. Took a long time, but she was really into it. A great time to spend with your kids… and I painted a bowl too… fun for me. Win/​win! (PS I left my credit card by mistake and the girl ran down the street to give it to me — very nice and great customer service!)

I LOVE this place… have always had a great time. The owner even special ordered me a yarn bowl to paint. They are always pleasant and helpful with all my questions. Recently I took a paint & sip class there. GREAT TIME! Did mosaics there as well. So many options.
