I've been here three times, so I feel like I've given this place a fair shot, The prices are really high. The paint is not well organized, and the staff seems distracted and spend a lot of time away from the main room. On the positive side, the ceramics are good quality and there is a decent variety of them. I enjoy ceramics but I'm looking for an alternative to Paint Your Plate.

If you are looking for a birthday party spot, this is it. Even if people don't know each other well, the good times will roll. It keeps the conversation going when eveyone is doing art and can comment and help each other out. They have a great party room if you reserve ahead of time, and a great variety of ceramics you can paint. The prices may seem high, but when you take account that's all your paying for and they have a business to run, I think it's fair. I definitely intend to go back!

Pros: Awesome party room, neat selection

Cons: They need more color charts since the glaze isn't the same color as it will be after firing.

I absolutely adore Paint your plate. The location is lovely, prices are very reasonable and the music they play is always a joy. I've made numerous gifts (mugs,plates) for Birthdays and Holidays and let me tell you, friends and family will LOVE these personalized treats verses anything store bought. I highly advise you to try this place out and let your fingers do the talking! Anyone and everyone can do this (Age does not matter there!) and make something truly beautiful and you'll feel amazing at what you are capable of. So what are you waiting for? Go Paint Your Plate already! Happy Painting! -Miss Betc

Pros: Variety of paints-tools

Cons: My only con is their organization of the paint! I have sometimes had trouble locating certain paint colors as their chart is a bit all over the place. I've always found my paint of course but wish it

My daughters, sisters, and girlfriends all have a great time each time we go here. The price you pay is very reasonable when you consider it goes towards the price of paying for the location, the employees, the paints, the paint brushes, the kilns, and all other supplies. This is a great place to make an event out of time spent together, and you walk away with a keepsake with your own creative flare and great memories.

The prices are ridiculous. With coffee mugs priced at $18-$25, this isn't the kind of place to make a hobby.
