"The selection of items to paint and activity was fun however the atmosphere wasn't welcoming and the attitude of some of the staff is terrible."
"Fun but pots are overpriced for what you get! Pots are expensive and you don’t have much time to complete your work leaving you rushing your work."
"A great activity for friends to catch up but be warned on the incredible mark ups on very basic base ceramics and rude staff."
Customer Experience & Management
Pros:

"Such a fun activity, they do BYOB which is fun for the grown ups. Would recommend, loved it!"

"STAY AWAY Terrible experience. Staff were extremely rude and dismissive, unhelpful and impotent."
"Real shame about this place. Initially had a great time but on pick up one of the staff became very aggressive, incredibly rude and was shouting at me."
