Went there today for my daughter's 11th birthday, I do recommend this place! Staff reminded us to get there 10mins early and so we did, they seated the kids right away and got them started. Host was nice and courteous. Birthday kid also gets a free plate with their hand imprint + the fingerprints of their frds - I think it's cute & thoughtful! Can't wait to see the final products of the group, and thinking I should go back for a ladies night or what ;)
One thing I'm not sure is the size of the party room. Studio said they can host up to 14 kids, we had 11 kids in our group today and I think that pretty much max out the space already. I guess the other thing is they might need to stock up on the $22 pottery - I think some girls didn't get what they wanted today. But overall it was a nice experience!

It was a pretty fun time out with family!
I wish they had more of a selection of what to paint, when asked if they had any of the dishes that were on display (wine glass and serving plate) we were told that what we saw on the shelf was all that was available. Perhaps because it is so close to the holidays, but you would expect them to anticipate that and order more stock in. Also, they are pretty strict with rules. For example, you are not allowed to stand up to refill your paint or change your brush from the selection that they put on your table, you need to ask for everything which wouldn’t be so bad if they made more of an effort to check in with each table more often. Having to flag an employee down for more paint every time became quite the inconvenience.
Other than that, it was a pretty fun family night out! Would try again not so close to the holidays.

School holidays and we need to get out of the house. Let’s make memories!
It is oodles of fun to make doodles on crockery! I was amazed at the variety of people here. There were siblings dropped off by parents running errands, entire families doing projects, groups of girl friends etc.
Basically you choose a piece of pottery, then a color palette and BEGIN! The staff are rockstars. Seriously. Our kidlet is inquisitive and full of energy and they were kind and accommodating. I felt timid about requesting more colors and they insisted it was no problem fetching them.
You leave the project to be fired in the kiln and pick it up (fairly quickly) after. I inquired about pricing before I went. As I look every night at my lantern when the timer LED candle goes on and I remember the fun we had, it feels totally worth it!
