Description
A well-run and fun ceramics studio. You go in and a friendly person by the desk will ask you to take a clipboard in order to copy down the information of the pottery you wish to paint, and the four colors you wish to paint with (you see them on the wall).
When you decide, you give the clipboard back to the clerk, and sit by a table, and she will bring you your things in a few minutes. She notes the time you get your supplies and the clock starts from then. It costs $7 an hour to paint in the store, but don't worry, it's not per person. They are extremely friendly and helpful.
Edit: Jan '15 - The $7 fee is per person!
The crafts you make, will be ready for pickup a week later.
Tips
- Apparently, on Tuesday night after 7 PM, there is a special deal where you pay a flat rate of $7 and you get unlimited painting time. They also purportedly provide cheese, wine and crackers. I haven't been there on Tuesday night, but I'm guessing it's more full and more adult that night.
- Don't touch the stuff on the wall.
- This place is great for conversation because it's pretty quiet.
- There is a Starbucks one store over. It's a good, spacious Starbucks.
