Joe Picasso’s

The best place to bring your kids, wife, and family. Lots of fun for beginners like us, just paint and have fun. My kids totally let loose and the staff was super helpful.

Let me start by saying, I’ve been coming here for years and still love it. I’ve made plates, cups bowls, ceramic animals you name it. But what I really love about this place is how friendly the owners and staff are! If you ever need help with anything they go above and beyond super friendly! Joe Picasso’s is a great place for children of all ages and adults! Sometimes it takes you a while to get the artistic river flowing but, What’s nice is that they have refreshments there which helps. lol I have brought many of my friends and family including my girlfriend who is now addicted to it to Joe Picasso’s. What’s nice is that you get to use whatever you made or show it off!
I highly recommend Joe Picasso’s for birthdays a night out or anything!!! Thanks Joe’s

This place is awesome! I come here often and the owners and employees are so nice and accommodating and are more than willing to help you achieve what you want on your piece. I definitely recommend asking for help as they have tricks that you wouldn’t think of to help paint certain things. A great selection and a very decent price for all it includes!

I recommend a voucher for a child’s birthday gift. 1÷21÷16
My child received a birthday voucher to throw pottery, fire it then paint it — what a success. My daughter, her friend and I had the lesson and just picked up the glazed pottery pieces and it was a great experience from start to finish.
Thank you Danielle for being such a patient and fun instructor and to Kevin for arranging it around our schedule. The girls loved it. I have a unique red wine «vessel» (Roman style) and we all had a unique and creative afternoon out (2 in fact as we went back to paint the pieces a few weeks after). Great job Joe Picasso, we will be back.

What a therapeutic Saturday afternoon! Red wine and glasses at hand and we’re ready to get those creative juices flowing.
This is one of those activities for literally everybody and every occasion, from date night to family time to a birthday party to a more reserved moment of color.
The woman who got us set up was very personable and friendly. They have so many pottery pieces to choose from; mugs, plates, bowls, tea kettles, picture frames, small animal figurines, ect. ect. I chose the bowl, which was $ 16.
All prices are located on the bottom of pieces, which includes the paint, brushes, (unlimited) studio time, and the finishing gloss/​heat of your masterpiece.
The paint is stored similar to a «cubby», very organized, and they have small palette glasses below each bottle to give you an accurate look of your desired color, since it will look diff when its finished, rather than in the bottle!
The only thing I would say that was unfortunate (but not enough to deduct stars for), was the «hand dryers» going off ever so often to be used to dry paint to go over for another layer.

They always have such a huge selection of pottery to choose from! I have been to several other similar places in other areas and Joe Picasso’s always seems to have the best variety in pottery items with very reasonable prices. I have made a couple of items there so far and I have a few friends and family members that have painted there as well. All of our items have come out great! The best part is everything is food safe and I use the mug I painted almost every day for my coffee.

Staff very friendly, I go here all the time. Give yourself a few hours to finish, trust me you’ll want those super fun hours!!!

Love, love, love Joe’s! Create, just paint, form your own design, what you do is up to you! Great owners (K/​K), great staff, you will leave will a smile and wanna come back. Great way to end the day. Love to go with friends and make evening out.

I contacted the owners of Joe Picasso because I had specific ceramic needs for a baby shower I wanted to have at their facility. And for a couple of months they have been for the most part unresponsive and when minimally responding not helpful at all. So much so that their unprofessionalism was partly responsible for me abandoning my idea for the baby shower and nursery décor. I will not be using their services and I do not recommend this facility for any parties as they clearly don’t want to earn your business and would not work hard on accommodating such a special day.

First time there and must say the staff was amazing!!! We had a great time and everything you are able to do is so much fun! Music great, bring your own wine or beer, munchies and drinks for the kids. Facebook specials on Mondays and Ladies night on Wednesday’s. Mosaic, painting, pottery classes or to celebrate bday parties, great for kids and adults. Will be back for sure!!! Absolute 10 stars!!! Loved it!!!

Original Post 3÷24÷14: My boyfriend and I went to Joe Picasso’s a few weeks ago thinking we were going to paint pottery. That was until we saw the mosaics and thought we’d try something different that you really can’t go do just anywhere. One of the owners, Kevin, was there and helped us get started since we had absolutely no clue what we were doing. He was so patient and helpful with us. We worked for about 3 hours and got around halfway done with our mosaics. Kevin wrapped them up for us and told us we could come back whenever we wanted to finish them without having to pay an additional sitting fee (since the mosaics take so long to do).
We went back yesterday and again we received the same great service from both the owners and their staff members. I’ll go back to Joe Picasso’s time and time again because of their great service and relaxed atmosphere.
As an end note, the owners are both very talented artists and display some or their work in the shop. Not only is it nice inspiration for your pieces, it makes receiving encouragement and advice from them even better knowing that they really are professionals in their field (especially if you’re like me and feel like your painting skills are on par with that of a 6 year old — no offense to any 6 year olds). By making themselves present in the shop and providing great service, you can really tell they are committed to their end product of customer satisfaction.
Update 8÷28÷14: I’ve now taken two canvas painting classes at Joe’s and just like everything else with them, it’s amazing! I had taken a canvas class at a different studio as part of a team-​building exercise and was so incredibly frustrated by it. Not the case at Joe Picasso’s. Gayle is a serious miracle worker and has somehow managed to take my paint-​challenged self from «What in the world is that supposed to be?» to «Wow, I can’t believe I did that! I can proudly hang this on the wall!». She is very patient with her students, has great advice and suggestions, and creates a very no pressure environment. You really don’t need ANY skill or experience to do these classes, and I’m living proof. The canvas classes make for a great date night or girl’s night — just add a bottle of wine (Joe’s provides the cups and corkscrew) and you’re set!
I don’t have have anything planned just yet, but I’m already looking forward to my next creative adventure at Joe Picasso’s!

Looking for something different for my friend’s bachelorette party, we had a surprise get together at Joe Picasso’s!
It’s great for a party, because everyone can pick their own pieces in whatever price range works for them. Also, you pay by the piece, not by the hour, so everything is a set price.
The studio was really nice, lots of tables set up, and they had snacks you could purchase as well.
The girl working the counter was really helpful, explaining how the process works, and helping us check out at the end.
This would be a great place to come with friends or family, on a date, or even if you needed some alone craft time! It was really relaxing, and besides painting pottery, you could also create mosaic pieces.
I’ll definitely be back!

Fun fun fun! But definitely a process! If you have small children you want to include, consider going a day ahead without the kids to «prep» your project!
Some girlfriends and I decided to have the kids paint/​decorate/​handprint some ornaments and mugs for Holiday gifts this year. We planned a day and thought we were all set! On a whim, I stopped by a day earlier to check it out and ask some questions to plan. Thank goodness I did!
Joe P’s is an adorable little craft studio. Hundreds of potential projects line the walls with project ideas intermingled among them. Prices are hidden on the bottom of most projects. Basically you pick your project, apply a coat of your base paint, hold it under a dryer until it dries and then repeat THREE times! This process alone can take about an hour. After the third background/​base coat, then you can apply your design (or in our case, handprint). There was no way our 16 month olds would sit patiently (without pulling down all the ceramic projects along the walls!) during this initial process.
Easy enough to fix– we decided to do a mom’s only night on Wed (ladies night at JP’s!). We brought a few bottles of wine, picked out our projects, and spent a few hours applying base coats to an array of projects. At the end of the night, we wrapped and brought our «prepped» projects home.
A few days later, we returned with our little ones and prepped projects. An hour later, we had successfully applied paint to our babe’s hands and applied handprints to the projects. We finished the projects off and left them to bake in JP’s kilns! JP’s was sweet enough to NOT charge us an additional sitting fee (as I am sure they appreciated our efforts!).
Four days later, our projects were ready! SO CUTE and happy with he finished product!!! Definitely a cute gift idea and a fun experience for all of us!

Super fun idea for the kids or a date night. I made a mug for my mom on Mothers Day once and she absolutely loved it. The variety of items to paint makes it a lot less scary if you’re worried about getting creative. Friendly staff and such a cute set-​up. Check it out for sure.

The gal who owns this place is a gem! Very kind and clearly loves her job! It’s a fun little place and you can totally byob/​byof! I’ve been there several times, and I’ll keep going back. The prices are reasonable, and they don’t charge you for every little thing like some places like that do. Wonderful place!

My boyfriend and I visit there as much as possible for some relaxing creative bonding.
Some times my girlfriends and I go and have wine and paint.
They have a vast variety of ceramics to pick from and tons of different color paints.
The staff is super nice and always answer any questions. I just wish they would open another location in West Palm beach!
It’s a great place to go :)

What a totally different place Joe Picasso’s place is. It’s a combination art and snack shop but way more to the art side of it than the snack side of it, where you create your own art. It’s also a place where there seems to be a lot of confusion, particularly at the counter between those needing help with their artistic (or lack thereof) creations. They offer pottery making, pottery painting, mosaic workings and a sundry of others which after you create, they will glaze and kiln fire for you to pick up at a later date. Though I noticed a good share of adults, it appeared to me to be more oriented towards children and indeed, the kids all appear to be having a blast of a good time of it. I could readily discern why a parent would prefer to have their child exercise his or her artistic leanings at Joe’s rather than at home considering not only the amount of materials needed but the aftermath mess left by their creativity.
I’ve seen other such places and though they are not for me, for what they are and what they are meant to be, Joe Picasso’s is by far one of the better. However, I would be inclined to do my snacking or eating elsewhere as Joe’s is certainly not the place to go for food.

Coming here was one of my best experiences in FL. I still have the vase I made.

It’s a lot of fun and there’s a great variety of things to do (mosaic, painting pottery, beading). You can also have a snack or a drink while you paint! Great for groups, dates, etc. However, they are incredibly expensive. It’s a little ridiculous, actually. Also, the service is not always that great.

Moved Locations.
Great date place.
Paint your own pottery or make mosaics while your drink from the bar.
Could be cheaper.
