What Our Guests Are Saying
This is a great place to go for awesome pottery, they have several amazing events throughout the week offering kids activities also. So very fun to paint your own ceramics and have them fires for you. Fun for everyone, they have seasonal items. Bring your kids to do some art, bring you significant other for a date night, or just come by yourself and have fun and listen to music while expressing your creativity.
The sweetest owners ever! The prices were great and we had such a good time painting. Any time we needed help they were so nice! They even gave us some popcorn and since we don’t live in the area, they offer shipping! Great bachelorette activity!!!
