    Man this place was awesome, the vibe was cool, the attendant was attentive and diligent, she helped my younger children pick his colors really well, and was just down right patient with our group. On the other hand, holy shit... it can get really expensive. If I have any advice for somebody that just wants to have an experience but dont have a tone of leisure cash... go small, its both expensive and time consuming to go bigger.

    This is a nice gem of a place to find, you can immerse yourself in an artistic way for hours, though their background music might be a tad unlikable to your taste. You can paint on a canvas or their big selection of ceramics and china, ranging from simple plates and mugs, to a more complicated and big decors. Prices got a broad spectrum of cheap to really expensive, depending on what you're doing. They got canvas or ceramic paintings, stamp impressions, and other fun activities to keep you entertained and keep coming back for more. Owner and staffs are wonderful and helpful to everyone. You wont regret coming here for a quiet piece of mind while doing something productive....read full review

    Had to do a large bowl for a school project. First time ever going. Alexis was an amazing help- so clear with instructions, encouraging suggestions to help make my project the best it could be! Can't wait to go back and make something for me!!
