My friends and I purchased the "Date Night" Groupon for this place and it was a deal! I paid $14 which was a value of $29. This covered $9 for studio time and $20 towards pottery.
I wasn't 100% sure if we would have actually been "making" the pottery or just picking it out and painting it. (They offer both) This was my first time participating in this so I wasn't too sure. I probably could have asked when I called to make a reservation (a must for date night) but I guess I was just being lazy. Turns out for this particular night you picked out the pottery and painted it. You have to reserve another time to actually make the pottery, etc.
I made reservations for a Thursday night 6pm, BYOB! We showed up and were shown our table for the night, given wine glasses and Sandy (The owner) even opened our wine for us! She explained how everything worked and showed us what we could pick from. Very nice and patient woman. You can tell by talking to her she takes pride in her work and genuinely ENJOYS it. It was really exciting getting to pick out the pottery...there were all kinds to choose from. You'll have to go for yourself to check out the options.
I ended up picking a Wine Chiller and a small Fruit Bowl (decorative purposes). You can see them in the picture I'm going to post when I complete this review.
We each picked our paint colors and shared from each others choices. From there on out it was smooth PAINTING. (And sipping some vino). The next couple hours were so fun. Sandy played music (Christmas, at the time) and we had some light chatter. At the end we gave her our finished pieces which she would later "fire" and call us to come pick up. Took about a week for things to be completed and mine turned out looking better than expected.
I had a wonderful time and cannot wait to take some more friends on my next trip there. Groupon or NO Groupon. It's definitely worth it!!
