I had such a lovely time with my niece. There were lots of options in terms of items to paint and better yet lots of options of paint finish, colours and shades. The staff were really friendly, it was clean and overall a really lovely environment to be in. Highly recommend. · via Google [Ayse Aglamaz](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/106783809362889557306/reviews) ★★★★★ Friendly staff and good choice of pottery. Enjoyed the experience in general and happy to see we have this locally. The only annoying thing was waiting around to grab paints and brushes. On a busy day, that took us about 10 mins which eats into the painting time. Pieces were a little pricey if you plan to take more than 1 child. · via Google [Olamide Onibonoje](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/112865546669842212047/reviews) ★★★★★ My sisters and I really enjoyed our experience at this pottery place. The worker is very friendly and answers any queries you may have. I truly would recommend this place to everyone. Thank you so much!! · via Google [Siobhan](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/115389702489868948469/reviews) ★★★★★ Shop has moved down the road. Great customer service and support received from ladies working there. Front door was a tight entrance and had people sitting in front of it so was annoying when we wanted to leave. Need more paint dishes samples so people can take time to pick colours and not stand waiting for others to pick and waste painting time! Prices on pottery was very pricey and maybe give a cheaper option for kids that can pick too as parents get stuck with paying a lot 🫣 Staff wer lovely and very helpful · via Google [See all reviews on Google →](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m4!3m3!1s0x47d8d2dfab8b6d0d:0x7fb9f40a2b719800!9m1!1b1?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) People say this pottery painting studio offers a wide variety of pottery items and paint colors, and provides a clean, calm environment.
