This is a great place to have a date, party or just relax and let you creative side come out. Each time I come here I can just be that artist 🎨

Phenomenal experience. Ten out of ten would recommend. The selection and prices can not be beat. The staff gave a amazing tutorial of how everything works and were very hands on to answer questions and help when needed. You didnt feel rushed like at most places. I will for sure be going back. It was a super fun day out with the girls.

We always have the most fun. Their seasonal projects are creative and useful. Every time we go in, theres something new- new projects, new paints, new activities. And the staff is really nice, helpful and full of good ideas.

I’ve been to a lot of β€œpaint your own” pottery places in my days, and this is by far my favorite! No hidden fees, tons of pieces to choose from, and a staff that really cares about their customers. I took a gnome building class a few weeks back and felt so welcome and valued as a customer.Please support this business! They need us now more than ever, and you will not be disappointed in the experience!

Highly recommend this place, it is kid and adult friendly, the workers are extremely helpful and give you actual suggestions if you’re stuck on what to do. Prices are good since they are what they say, no hidden fees. Snacks and drinks are available for purchase, we brought donuts in and they had no problem with it. Definitely will come back if I do it again

You can make reservations. No real limit on the number of people. They are extremely helpful and always willing to answer questions. The cost is reasonable and depends on the piece you choose. They have a good turn around time on getting things back to you. Great birthday party idea or date night. Kids also love it so it could definitely be a family event.

Let me start by saying I have been a few times over the years and have always had a great experience. I am embarrassed it has taken me so long to review this store. I just was googling to give them a call and noticed I never had. Stephanie is fantastic and always full of helpful ideas, as I am not an experienced pottery person to say the least. It is always a nice evening exploring my limited creative side. Luckily they are always there to help and make the entire process very fun. My wife and I cant wait to go in and make something new since it has been awhile. If you are looking for a great place to get creative with an amazing staff you have come to the right place.

A unique Paint your own pottery, glass fusing and painting. I have been to several other paint your pottery places and this is the best. They have excellent walkways to be able to get up and walk in the store. They have glass fusing as well as Canvas Painting, if youre not feeling the painting your own pottery. This place also serves drinks, including Soda, Water, Wine and Beer. The staff has a lot of enthusiasm and the owner, Stephanie, brings a can do attitude and enthusiasm for her clients and her store. I have been there twice and thoroughly enjoyed their place. Also their prices are fairly competitive and comparable. They charge a bit more for the pottery, but they do not charge for a shop fee. Tucked away in downtown Denver near the hospital zone. Excellent dining choices near by to make it a fun and creative date night.

I am a nanny and took both my kiddos on different days. They were amazing!!! The owner was wonderful with the kids and so patient. She was even able to rush our firing so it would be ready to travel to Italy for Christmas. Would be a fun girls night out. Its my go to for Xmas, Mothers Day ect.

This place is so fun! They offer so many different types of projects to channel your inner artist. The space is beautiful and very inspiring and the staff is incredibly fun and helpful. Ive tried several different projects, glass, painting, pottery and silver and every time Im pleasantly surprised by the results ( I think its mostly due to Stephanies help!). They also put together super fun and relaxing parties.

This is a great place to go for a fun date night activity. The layout is laid back with all the pricing included in the price of the piece. You can spend as long as you like with no rush.

What a nice experience! The people were helpful to the children when it came to explaining how ceramic painting was done AND helping them correct any mistakes they made. We all had an enjoyable time at Ceramics in the City. We may have to try the glass fusion next time!

Worth every penny.I was a little nervous when my wife said it’s on east colfax, but I gave it a shot. I’m so glad that I did; this was a wonderful experience for the kids, my wife and I. They selected and made some unique pieces and we made coasters.We spent about $60 bucks and were there for about 2.5 hours. There is a wide range of products to select from; the cheapest we saw was $12, but they have some really small pieces for less than that.They use quality paint and brushes. The staff were very helpful!We called prior to ensure they had room; I would recommend doing so as it quickly filled up.

This place is great for handmade, thoughtful Christmas gifts, Mothers Day gifts, Birthday gifts and much more. Just make sure to create your piece with enough time for it to fire before when you need it by. 1-2 weeks is about right but call ahead and ask.

Weve tried some of the trendy painting classes, but this is way better. Much more intimate, more self-guided, and perfect for a pre-dinner date. Plus the employees are always super nice.

I just held a team building even there with my staff. Stephanie was very helpful and we reserved a party room for the whole afternoon, even though we only did art for 2 hours (we needed to do some work as well). The explanations on the ceramics painting were well done and the price was reasonable. Stephanie was very helpful when a team member accidentally messed up something she painted... she helped correct the mistake. The results were great and our mugs were ready just a few days after! Definitely recommend for team building or just for fun!

Im not a big art guy but I had a lot of fun, so fun, that my wife and I will be back. There are a lot of options and inventory with which to work. Very cordial and helpful staff in my opinion.

Review β„–31

Not as good as other options in the Denver area. Not many choices available. Their claim is no extra fee just cost of your piece but you are expected to clean up and again not many choices on pottery pieces or paints or brushes,etc.

Review β„–32

They were incredibly disorganized and being first timers, they were the farthest thing from helpful. We had made a reservation the day before yet they almost didnt want to accomdate us because they didnt have it in their system. We were sitting forever before they prompted us on what to do and the tutorial was lacking thoroughness. It was until after we finished we realized all of the extra stencils/stamps. The girl also made it seem like we should just not use the writing bottles because theyre too hard. Will never go back, it was an all around poor experience besides spending time with my family.

Ive been going here with my son and daughter since they were about 5, and they both love it. The environment is really positive and encouraging and the shop has a great selection of ceramics that appeal to my kids. Most recently, my daughter took her friends for her 12th birthday party to do glass fusing peace sign window tiles. The traffic was terrible and we were 45 minutes late for our reservation, but the shop didnt have any trouble accommodating us and they were so nice about it (I did call to let them know). All the kids agreed it was awesome and one kid said it was the coolest party shed ever been to. None of them had done anything like it before.We have tried other similar kinds of paint-your-own-pottery shops (usually at other kids birthdays), but my kids say this one is the best by a long shot, and I think it is because of the creative vibe weve only experienced at this store. Kids feel empowered here to make something truly their own.Highly recommend it if you are looking to create a fun memory!

The visit was awesome. Chose to paint ceramics though glass fusion and canvas painting is also available. Staff was helpful, offering overview of how to use the paints, stencils & stamps. Very relaxed atmosphere with a mix of familes, couples & birthday party simultaneously participating and having a great time at their tables. Spin the wheel for a prize or come in on themed days for a discount, like couples day, Varied prices on pottery, however it includes studio time & firing the ceramics. No hidden costs. Will visit again!

Worst experience and this was during two visits that Were two weeks apart. Both of them were a group of 10. Stephanie is rude and makes you feel as if youre an inconvenience and if youre new to making ceramics she will make you feel really stupid or down right dumb! If you are new to making ceramics or glassware DO NOT go to this place! To Stephanie: If you dont take care of the customer, someone else will. There is a great ceramic place on S. Colorado Blvd where the owner is nice and helpful to beginners.

Review β„–36

We were in for a team building event and were very disappointed with the lack of customer service. Most of us had not participated in an event like this so we had no idea what to expect. There was a great inventory but little to no direction with what to do with your project once it was selected. The instructions were given in a very vague and condescending tone. It was very clear that some of us were struggling a bit and there was no help offered. Someone asked a question about the glass jewelry and she was told to come up with a better question????? Coming from a business that offers top notch customer services this was very disappointing.

Review β„–42

We also tried to stop by for our 8th anniversary. No one was there and it was 7:38 pm. We were going to paint one piece together but were turned away as it was past the 7:30pm cutoff time and it would take too long for us to decide what we wanted to do. So instead they refused the only business they would have had last night and were closing up early. Rather ridiculous
