Once Upon A Dish

My daughter went there the other day with three friends. They thought it would be something fun to do during the Summer. Their websites says that it is $ 9 an hour for ages 13 and older. After my daughter was there about 20 minutes we had an emergency and had to pick her up. They charged me $ 23 for a mug that she was making. A rip off for the money

My friend and I took our young toddlers here, I was nervous the entire time they were going to break the entire place, there’s shelves of pottery everywhere, it’s very cramped. The woman working was very nice but a little… quirky… she kept trying to direct us on how we *should* be painting, like she said not to paint the inside… I asked why and she said she likes to see the color of what she’s drinking… personally, I like the inside painted but she made it sound like a rule… Overall, I wouldn’t go back with a child, it was too stressful with the potential for breaking everything and I’ve been to lots of pottery painting places. It’d be fine for adults though and I believe I saw they do a ladies night there which I’m sure is awesome.

They have a great selection of pottery pieces: small keepsakes, plates, cups, bowls, etc. The staff is friendly– they come around and ask if you need anything. Cost is $ 9/​hr + the cost of pottery pieces.
Studio sitting area is very cramped. When people were searching for pieces, they were constantly bumping into my table.
I ended up painting 2 mugs and after sitting for 2 hrs, it came out to be ~ $ 55. The big disappointment came 2 weeks later when I got my fired pieces– both mugs had «crazing,» or a network of cracks in the glaze. The mugs were physically intact, but the cracked glaze completely ruined the pieces.
I’ve since found another pottery painting place & have painted almost a dozen pieces. Not a single one of my pieces have returned with cracked glaze.
Parking is right outside. If you’re going to stop by, you can save some money by going to Ladies night on Thurs: $ 9 flat fee + pottery piece from 6−9pm
and adult night on Fri: $ 9 flat fee + pottery piece from 6−9pm (you can bring your own drinks & food; you have to call & reserve a spot).

This place is really fun! I went with a group of girls, and we had a nice time. There is a nice selection of pieces to choose from, and plenty of paint and supplies to get creative! I made a serving dish, and it was ready to be picked up in a week. The women working there were friendly and helpful. This place seems great for a group of kid (birthday party!) or adults (girls day out!). I highly reccomend it!

Fun night out — something different. this is a paint your own pottery studio — on Thursday or Friday nights 6 – 9 pm $ 9 plus the price of the item you choose — you can paint away and create a one of a kind keepsake or gift or very useable item. Everything will be dishwasher & oven food safe. You can paint a delicate marguerita goblet, or a pasta bowl, jewelry box, piggy bank… set of dishes… pet items… holiday items… I have done wedding gifts, baby gifts, and just stuff I like !! What you paint today, will be ‘dipped’ in glaze and fired in the kiln — ready for pickup in a week. This is REAL STUFF !! Make your hubby a coffee mug, or bring him along and make eachother’s. They are open 7 days, but only 2 evenings. The evenings are for adults only and you can bring your own wine and snacks… we order sushi almost every time. It is a fun, relaxing, PRODUCTIVE night out. The staff is fabulous, very porfessional and always willing to lend a hand… if you dont trust yourself to do paint wording, or need design ideas, these people are wonderful, and will soon be your BFF’s. You can spend anywhere from $ 20 on up for the evening, but tell me where else you can go for laughs, music, (Jeopardy onTV if your early enough) adn really good company for that price. Proprietor Sophia is one of the sweetest and funniest people I know. I wholeheartedly give ‘Once Upon A Dish” 5 stars and would give them 6 if I could.

When you need a quiet and relaxing activity this is great! You pick out a ready made pottery and paint, sit at their assorted size tables and paint your very own. Staff is very welcoming, friendly and helpful. There are adult only and ladies only times. You can bring your own snacks & drinks. two drawbacks you need to return to pick up your fired piece and some pieces are expensive so by the time your done its 30 dollars for a small bowl but the tradeoff is worth it 2 hours of relaxing down time
