The Painted Potter Studios

This place is closed down. My kids and I were going to paint today and they were not there anymore. Sucks because we don’t have anything like this on our side of town.

I started my bachelorette party here a few years ago. The ac was out in the private room we were supposed to have it in so they let us have the whole public area. They made sure to warn incoming people with children of the situation even though it was obvious some of them were going to leave and they would lose business (we were a bit rowdy and had penis shaped everything). We had our own food and alcohol and it was great!
Then this year for Halloween, I went in to order a Halloween pumpkin with our name as the teeth. They told us they no longer offer these, which would have been fine, we could have gone somewhere else. Instead, they took our number, called their old vendor and custom ordered the piece for us. It was the same price as if I had to drive and order it from the place 40 miles away. They went above and beyond.
True, the clerks are usually absent minded high school kids but for the most part they are really great. And it’s probably their first job. Cut em some slack.

Love this place! Visiting on a Tuesday for half priced painting & fire fees is a must! My only complaint is that the pottery is a bit over priced (just my opinion) but I will still continue to visit here! Great for kids of all ages, and adults too!

Wow! Went for date night, two couples. None of us had ever been before so we walk in and a girl sitting there completely alone didn t greet us or anything. We asked how it worked and she explained to just pick out a piece. We each pick out our pottery and then we are at a table waiting to see if she will explain to us what we do next. We had brought our own wine because the website states that you can so we ask for glasses and the girl says there is a party city next door that we can go buy cups at! I finally had to say we have never been here before and don t know how this works. So a different girl came out from the back and tried to explain the process and then the other girl just sat back down and continued taking selfies of herself with no shame. We enjoyed ourselves because we are fun people but I will never return to this location because of the exceptionally bad service. I mean these girls could care less about helping!

I have no idea why Unilocal is not posting my review so that other people would not go through the horrible experience I have with this place. As I said earlier, I had my daughter’s party there and they assigned me an inexperienced helper for the party.
So it’s been over one month and I finally can pick-​up the pieces from the party. First, they lost my daughter’s birthday plate with her hand on it. Second, they lost one her friend’s plate. Finally, 2 of the pieces were chipped and I am pretty sure they would have noticed it when they wrapped the pieces up but they failed to mention it or fix it. When I called back to tell them the pieces were damage, the responses was I have to bring it back so they can fix it and then wait another 3 weeks.
Again, this place is horribly managed, over priced, and a waste of your time.

I would strongly discourage anyone from patronizing this business. It is overpriced, the staff is largely inept and unprofessional, and they actually LOST two pieces of pottery that my kids made. (This was told to us, by the way, over two weeks after the pieces had been promised to us.) How does pottery get lost inside the store?!! The excuse given was, «it was really busy over spring break». Ummm, sorry but I don’t know what that has to do with keeping track of your customers’ items. Obviously they have issues with managing their business. And it was terrible trying to explain to my five-​year old that the special mugs he made for his grandparents were gone, and he wouldn’t be able to give them as a present like he had planned! Bottom line, I would never go there again. Find another pottery place if you want to avoid a similar fiasco!

What a great way to spend an evening. With a huge selection of potteries and all the tools you need to let your creative juices flow, you can have as much fun painting as you want. The staff there are really friendly and does a great job talking you through the process. I really enjoyed it because it is artwork that you can enjoy doing at your own pace. The studio is friendly, relaxed, and clean. I would consider Painted Potter as a great way to do some team building or just a family event.

This place is honestly perfect for ALL AGES. For the kids, they conduct cute little workshops and summer camps where kids make one-​of-​a-​kind pieces following the theme, like a tea party, the cookie monster, princess themes, etc.
Adults can also rent the space for private parties, it would definitely provide a unique opportunity for girls’ nights. Or even if you wanted to go by yourself and have some relaxing ‘me-​time,’ there were plenty of people doing that, as well.
The studio is stacked with all kinds of pottery to choose from and you have full access to all kinds of tools, stencils, advice, etc. On certain days and hours you can get half off the painting, pottery and firing fees.
Expect about a one-​week turnaround to pick up your finished/​fired piece.
What a special, unique small business. I’m just jealous I didn’t think of this first!
