Paintin' Pottery or Bead It Review

Fun place to make personalized gifts and spend quality time with others. Great atmosphere and coffee bar!

This is a great idea to celebrate a special occasion like a birthday or Valentine's Day with your kids. They have so much fun being creative here. Took my grandkids and we had a great time and they created some beautiful pieces. It's a little pricey but they provide Kiln services and glazing that are not possible at home.

I truly enjoyed my experience here. The staff was very he helpful with everything and with everyone in our group. My project turned out great. And they even have smocks so you don't get paint all over your self

So much fun. Such a great selection! Loved the experience! And very very reasonable prices

I really enjoyed this place and it was a blast! I only have 2 problems, 1 being that everything is super expensive (I payed $60 for two mugs) and 2 the fact that I had to go up to someone to be greeted. The people working there saw me enter but never said anything till I walked up to them and asked them a question. I definitely want to go back and now I know what to do.

A not cheap time but the granddaughter loved painting so it's worth it

My 6 year old son and I decided to try our hand at painting a piece of pottery. It was our first time there. The amount of pottery pieces to choose from was awesome! The other choices listed on their webpage (beading, mosaics, glass fusing, etc) seemed pretty minimal though. The studio was organized well, I liked the self-service paints and how the main colors are kept right at the tables. The only reason I didn't give a 5 star rating is because we were not greeted when we walked in. There were multiple staff members present and we were essentially ignored until I asked about payment methods. It's nice to feel welcome when supporting a local small business and I just didn't feel that, but we still enjoyed our time together and will likely give it another try.

Omg! This place is amazing! It's so cool! Very family friendly and great for groups! Will definitely be coming back!

Love everything they offer and so nice to grab a cup of good coffee while there.

Loved this place, had my bachelorette party there, painted glasses!!

Awesome staff, awesome work spaces, great supplies and options. Prices are a little high, but you get what you pay for.

Very cute and clean place! Lots of different projects and things to do! We will definitely be back!

Fun place and staff is friendly. Prices are good too for an artsy day!

We've been to Paintin' Pottery many, many times, and we have enjoyed it every single visit. Recently, when my daughter and I had an opportunity to spend some time together, we went to Paintin' Pottery, thinking we would repeat our prior experiences. Unfortunately, we had an employee there who was really unkind. We hope the owner becomes aware of this person or the person quits. Until then, my daughter and I will be finding something else to do in town.

The projects are overpriced and it's sad to say but the 15 yr old helper was more professional than the owner. The paint was sub standard and to thick . I would never go back , and according to Carolyn the owner that was fine with her. I would go to Fat Perry's in Sheboygan Falls. Way better place.

Very unique little shop. Fun for the whole family. Would recommend for Anybody

Had a lot of fun and the price is reasonable, but could have had a little better service. When we arrived we stated we had only been there once and would benefit from a little instruction and advice. We were the only ones in there, but the worker seemed too preoccupied to offer much assistance. We'll bring the kids back to give it another try.

I like it because it has food and drinks but it can be a little pricey

Service was terrible. Staff was very unfriendly and clearly did not want to be there or help customers with their projects. I would not reccomend and I will not return.

Always have a good time here and are able to find projects in our price point

This place is amazing. Went today for my daughter's bday, & we weny once before. Always a fun time

Make sure you have 4 hours open to paint. Great relaxing fun place.

Fun time! Good selection of things to paint and tons of colors.

Amazing place!

I took my 3 granddaughters (ages 5, 8, 10) to Paintin' Pottery for a special activity. If you remember siblings that ages working together, you comprehend how each wants to be in charge.
Neither the girls nor I ever did something like this before.
The staff showed us how to perform every step. Staff were so kind and understanding with our repeated questions. We had leave and go back to Paintin' Pottery several times because our energy ran out after being there two hours. That was no problem for the staff.

Our project turned out fantastic! I would do a return project, again.

Fun times. Everything you need for a fun craft time.

So much fun, and so many options. There is such a friendly staff that is always accommodating. I'll always go back!

Kids had a great time can't wait to pick our stuff up.

Excellent experience. Fun space. Sister likes this place alot, first time there, had lots of fun

This place was AMAZING! The staff was excellent, the options were abundant, and we had a great time there. I liked that you didn't have to make an apt. And that you could walk in and do potery, boards, wine glasses, or glass art. There were just so many options!!

Very friendly staff, and TONS to do if you are artistic (and if you aren't). Plus, they have good desserts to munch on while you're making art.

Came in with a parry of 7. We were able to sit at a table together and paint our own pottery. There is a great selection of pottery to choose from and paint. There is also wood board painting, glass infusing, wine glass painting and canvas painting. Great atmosphere, great prices.
Will definitely go again!!

Daughter had a birthday party recently their. All the kids had a great time.

Fantastic atmosphere to unwind, relax and have fun. Great way to get outside myself and be creative. I enjoy my time here with my kids or even by myself.

Fun relaxing project. They do a wonderful job of presentation and supplying the materials you need .

Amazing! Loved it! Brought my 5 year old, she loved it! Just spectacular! Wish I had money to go everyday. Snacks were a little pricey but honestly so glad I found something my kid and I can do together that we both enjoy

We went there as part of a surprise birthday and the birthday girl really liked it. Thank you

Very relaxing! I went with my grandaughters, they painted me a christmas cookie plate!

Great products/ options, knowledgeable and helpful staff, and reasonable prices! I'll be back as there are so many more things I would like to make.

Created a mirror mosaic as a family with ages from 3 years to 74 years. Had a great time & loved the frozen hot chocolate!

A nice little place to paint your own pottery. It can be a bit pricey but everything is included in the price. They also have drinks and snacks.

I went for my 13th birthday and absolutely loved it! I always have the best time when I go there. I was first introduced to it by my big sister through BBBS, Maria, when we were out for a monthly activity. I have been 3 times since, and have so much fun. I like it because I'm very artistic, and it's also a very fun environment. I really encourage this for all ages.

Its an open art studio and they let you bring your own drinks. Yay! Wife can play and i can do something while i watch lol. Pretty cool!

I didn't expect what I found here. It's not just pottery painting here; there is glass painting, mosaics, wall board sign making -and more! - with all the supplies necessary to create your project. Friendly staff are there to help get you started and provide ideas and guidance as needed. I was impressed! And it was very relaxed and enjoyable. Good for all ages.

Pretty disappointed- we had our daughter s bday party there. Told we could have a private room upstairs (the party was for 7-8 year olds and a few toddler siblings). I wanted the private room to keep kids away from the breakable objects, etc and thought it would be calmer. But when we arrived we were told we weren t upstairs but front and center in the main lobby...

We had purchased the more expensive package so that the kids could have a more detailed piece of pottery to paint. However all of the options were presented to the kids including the small cheap versions. The smaller cheaper options were front and center and even though Kids could pick whatever they wanted, most of the kids chose the cheap version because it was closer to their eye level. The more expensive options were also more boring. Some kids chose small footballs when they could ve picked larger ones, but because the staff didn t encourage them to do so and the objects were so high the kids wound up with a pretty dinky piece of artwork.

Because we had the more expensive package we had additional time which should have been filled by painting detailed artwork. Because all of the kids picked the cheap versions we had an extra 30 minutes of time to do nothing while waiting for parents to pick up the kids. This was especially stressful since were front and center in the main lobby very close to all of the breakable artwork. I ended up leading the kids in a game of Pictionary on the fly, with staff not really knowing what to do.

Would not recommend a party here....and for sure not the more expensive package. Not. Worth. It.

Awesome place to go with friends and family and be creative. Coffee drinks are good, lots of items to pick from and paint. Would have loved to know more about what we could do up front, including the glass works portion of the shop. As newbies to the store, it wasn't clear what we were supposed to do or what supplies there were to use, had to discover it on our own.

Wonderful experience every time I visit! The atmosphere is friendly and open. The girls working are always so kind and helpful. You feel at home in their art studio. They offer classes on making certain pieces and will do whatever they can to help you. This place is definitely a favorite place to stop of mine.

Great fun! Highly recommend this fun painting experience! Groups parties kids and adults will love these nice girls who assist you to create your own masterpieces!

I too my younger brothers, and they absolutely loved it. There was a ton of stuff for them to paint,and they had a lot of fun doing it.

Fun for kids of all ages, relaxed atmosphere and the staff are always helpful

Love this place! Wide range of projects, great customer service, and fair prices. Definitely will be back!

Nice, clean facility, friendly staff. The only downside is that the projects are quite pricey.

Harry potter day was so much fun. Very friendly staff

What an awesome experience! Super friendly & knowledgeable staff!

Amazing variety of projects for artists & non-artists alike.

Parties, groups & children welcome! Please call or book ahead for groups larger than 5 people.

Will definitely be visiting again!

Had a fun time hanging with family and conversing with other customers. This was our first board making experience....staff seemed busy so little direction from staff was provided at times. Overall a fun, relaxing time. Can be a bit expensive.

This is a fun little place, lots of options including stuff other than pottery. They have a sizable selection of items that you can choose from. Some of it can be expensive but it's a lot of fun for a date night, my daughter and I went together and had a lot of fun! Great unique place to have some fun and be creative.

Fun place for quality family time. They have good quality items and friendly service. Only downfall is that it's quite pricey for us so in turn we only choose to visit once/year.

I love how much stuff there is to do. It's a great place and definitely recommend it!

Love coming in here to paint! It s always a great and fun activity. Love that they have drinks, but a few times the lattes have tasted like the milk was burnt.

Too bad I couldn't give more than 5 stars!! I was in town visiting a friend and we had a great experience here! My friend and I decided to check this place out (since we had never been to this location), on a rainy day and we couldn't have enjoyed ourselves more. From attentive and friendly staff, to the delicious snacks that was available for purchase, to the large selection of activities all in one place we were definitely impressed. We went with a smaller child (around 2) and after a while she got bored, they even had puzzles and other things to keep her occupied while we finished up.

I was grateful they kept our pottery a little longer (we forgot about it), and they were even able to ship it to me (out of state, for a fee). If the chance arises again, we will certainly return!

Good to go to do clay, glass, beads projects with kids

I love coming here with my friends from out of town. It's a great way to unwind and relax. The prices seem expensive at a glance, but once you take into consideration they fire and glaze your piece for you it off sets that cost quick. Plus, I'm sure if some accident happened and your thing broke they'd help out. They are very lovely people. I do wish they had a liquor license, to have a beer while I make a blue hat gnome...ahh someday. Anyway this place is great for all ages. They have options aside from painting ceramics but I always stick to my comfort zone. You do not, ahem, YOU DO NOT need any experience with this stuff to have fun and make something cool. Don't know what to paint cool ok paint a letter one or two colors. Bam! Art.

Had a BLAST with our children and grandchildren painting their Cookies for Santa plates and mug for Santa's milk.

A nice place to get creative. They have many projects to choose from besides pottery painting. The facility has a cheery and bright atmosphere with knowledgeable and friendly staff. I will definitely be back.

So fun and creative. Staff is extremely helpful and they walk you though everything. The store is cute and has a great atmosphere!

This place was super fun and relaxing. There were a lot more crafts to choose from than I thought and I definitely want to go back and try some of the other kinds besides the pottery painting. The cappuccino I had there was pretty good too.

This is such a fun activity to do with the kids! Also, they have coffee and smoothies.

Awesome place to spend time with friends and family.

One of my our favorite places. My daughter is always asking to go back. They are all very sweet and eager to help.

We went with my grandpa and he had fun so I would recommend it for you

Better experience here than in another similar store I've taken my daughter to. That said, service was a bit inattentive as we were greeted and then went around on our own and had to find an employee to help us start, to give us supplies, and to let us know what to do when we finished. Would be nice to be checked in on more frequently. Materiald and options are good and prices seemed reasonable for what we did.

Very fun activity. Had a child with us and they can paint what they like. Large selection of pieces to choose from and many colors to use.
