My significant other and I came in for his birthday and had a blast! The staff member walked us through some unique painting processes for the pieces we chose while we sipped on some wine. Friendly atmosphere, accommodating staff, interesting pieces to choose from - I'd say one of the better places in Columbus for pottery painting.

It was a very welcoming environment. I'll add that I thought we were going to use clay to make our own project. We painted.but it was still enjoyable.

Ask for the prices ahead of time. Very opaque pricing and do the math in your ahead separate of what the person charges at the register. We were overcharged by $10.

I came here with my sister and we both had a very good time. The staff were friendly and also very informative. I painted a ring holder and it came out well. They mention to only apply two coats of paint, however I do advise to apply move than two coats (that’s how I got my nice pastel color). It takes about a week to get your piece so you have to wait for the finished product

A paint-your-own pottery shop with a variety of pottery pieces and colors to choose from. The staff member was very friendly! She gave us good brief instructions; how much coats of paint are recommend and how to add texture to our pieces if we desired. The paint you put on the pottery won’t be the same intensity of the color after it is glazed by the staff member and put in the kiln; a final, post-kiln color reference is available to look at! There is an $8 fee for using the paints per person. Check out the website before you visit! Overall happy!:)

Our experience painting was great! Good selection and fair pricing. The live musician was great too! The only reason I wouldn’t give it 5 stars is due to the attitude of the staff - I'm definitely not an experienced painter and the instructions during the process were a bit condescending and the attitude at pickup was snarky.

While visiting from out of state my 6yo grandson and I popped in for some special time together. Staff was GREAT: polite, considerate, knowledgeable, helpful, and patient with both of us. A bit pricey for an unplanned adventure but we made wonderful memories and will now have momentos of the occasion as well. Love the relaxed atmosphere!

Company does not provide wrapping or bags for finished pottery. I would recommend bringing your own. The lid (which was on backward) of my daughter's piece slid off and broke on the floor of the store. Although the owner kindly offered a full refund and a chance to remake it for free, the incident could have easily been avoided by a simple bag.
