We love Melissa as the instructor. She is fun, gives a positive energy, she’s creative and can make any non-painter feel like they can do it! We hosted a party at my house and she was awesome: friendly, fun, and creative!

We have been to this pottery place 3 times niw,. Our most recent trip was about two weeks ago. At time of visit the studio is open 3 days a week- Saturday, Sunday, and Wednesday. Masks are required and you can paint your piece in the studio or take it home and bring it back to be baked/fired. Process: 1) You pick out the piece (you do not make the pottery- only decorate /paint it) that you want to paint.... all pieces are marked with price. (a few years back there was an added charge for fire/bake piece but now that's included in cost). 2) pick table - set your piece down- (currently some tables are marked not for use to insure social distancing) Staff give you form to fill out your information and they fill in the item(s) you will paint 3) you pick out your paints (no limit to number of colors that I know of) pallet had space for 8 colors but you can refill or get others as needed. Return to table- paint- have fun 4) pay at register and leave painted piece with staff to be baked/fired. You can pick up finished work in a week or pay for shipping and get it delivered home (we have done both options. When we had our pieces shipped they arrived realtively quickly and we're very well packaged with lots of peanuts to insure no breaks/damage) The studio also had option to get plate with child/person hand or footprint and a picture. There were some templates or for extra fee cod get a custom drawing. We did this when our daughter was 2 years old. I have also seen studio booked for birthdays/kids party. Highly recommend this place as a family activity with a young child or anyone that enjoys crafts/art.
