This is Willow Glen's resident creative lounge where you can come to paint original ceramic masterpieces for gifting or for relaxation. For a flat rate of less than USD15, you get unlimited studio time, firing, glazing and the use of paints and materials. The shop has a wide selection of ceramics to choose from, and you won't find just tiles and plates, although those can be a lot of fun too. Unique to this place is silver alchemy, a moldable clay-like material that once fired, becomes a pure silver color. Unbelievable but true, come and see for yourself. This store also organizes parties for kids' birthdays and private events.

Since I now live in SoCal, my sister and I came to this place as an activity to do while we catch up with one another. At first, we were both unsure if we would enjoy this experience, but we ended up having an awesome time! We both chose very different pieces to paint (a planter and a mug). The employee who was working when we were there was extremely helpful. She explained about the paint, number of coats, when to reapply another coat, and gave us pointers on what & how the various paint containers can be used on the ceramic pieces. With the help of this same employee, I applied a silk screen to my mug! I can't wait to see how our pieces turn out. Would definitely come here again!
MoreLots of choice in pre-formed bisque pottery, from dishes and bowls to figurines and teapots. You just choose an item and settle down to paint glazes on the piece. No need to be an artist, per se; many ideas for easy designs that anyone can try. Your work will be fired and ready to go home with you over a few days. A little pricey but very fun. Also have occasional discount days. I had a little party here for people who worked for me, and their spouses. It was too much fun! A great gift to give a friend who yearns to do creative stuff but is just too busy right now.
MoreWe went in December to make some holiday pottery presents. The place was busy as others were there making their crafts as well. This fun store is in the Willow Glen area of San Jose.
MoreI've come here with my kids on numerous occasions and we have the best time creating our little works of art. We started off doing the dragons and piggy banks and have graduated to doing some cool pet bowls for our dog and cats. It can get crowded so definitely make an appointment. All of the pieces are available for pickup within days. I've seen many kids' birthday parties and they are super accommodating.
MoreFun place for birthday parties. Plan ahead and reserve your spot. It does take time to select what to paint and you have to make another trip to pick everything up but its worth it. Fun for weekend family fun too!
