Went here with my husband for our anniversary and absolutely loved it. We each picked an item to paint and the staff was very helpful in walking us through everything. I’ve been to another pottery place before and I didn’t like that they weren’t completely upfront about the pricing but I did not have that problem here. The prices were reasonable and the staff was so helpful. There are They have a few regulars that bragged about how great it is there also. I can totally see why though. There are so many options available that it’s probably difficult to stop at just one visit. This is a wonderful place for a date night or kids outing. They even let you bring or order in food. I look forward to going back.

I really enjoyed my time at Pottery by you. I actually attended with my coworkers for a staff get together that we had, otherwise I probably never would have gone there. I know nothing about art, pottery or painting independently so I try to stay away from these type of places
Elle, the woman who helped us was AWESOME. I learned so much about pottery and was able to have my ideas come to reality with her help. It’s totally group friendly and a great place to go in general. We stayed after hours but they didn’t complain once and understood. We all felt very much cared for and enjoyed our time!

This is a great place to be creative and have fun! The owner is very nice and helpful and they have a great selection of pieces to paint. They offer glass fusing classes and I haven’t tried it yet but it looks fun. Nice location and friendly staff make it a win win!

So much fun! The glass fusing was a blast and they had so many glass materials to work with. You can choose from clear, white or black plates to build your masterpiece. I would definitely recommend gluing as you go! Rob and Julie are super nice, knowledgeable and helpful. It’s BYOB! My recommendation: bring friends, booze and food from the Greek place next door. Can’t wait to see my creation completed!

My wife prefers this pottery place over the other local spots. They let you bring any outside food or drink of your choice, and they are good for children’s birthday parties. They help the kids choose and paint the pottery.

Great place for creativity for kids and adults. Owner very personable, friendly with perfect teaching personality. They carry a large selection for you to choose from and helpful with types of paint and glazes. Several different classes available for adults only, adults with children or just children. I love the idea of a birthday party or group function for the kids. Check out their calendar on-​line.

Joined a friend the day after Christmas to try my hand at some artistry. Humm. I found that I am easily stressed when it comes to getting my creative grove on. Never the less the staff was very helpful in showing me how to translate my vision onto pottery. I don’t think this will become a new past time for me, however I can appreciate the therapeutic effect it can have on some. The lack of stars is due tot he fact that I was told my precious plate and soup mug would be ready in one week and I would get a call. It took over 2 weeks before it was ready and I never got that call.

Here’s the low-​down:
Show up by yourself or with friends, bring snacks and booze if you want, pick out what you want to paint, and then paint! (Tip: there’s a cupcake shop in the same strip mall and a fantastic liquor store, too)
PBY has lovely vases, doggie dishes, dinner plates, cups, jewelry boxes, and figurines to pick from. There are finished samples all around the store to help inspire you.
The staff has ALWAYS been cheery and ready to help me reach my creative potential. There are sponges, special brushes, special paint… I’ve never had the same experience twice.
After a week you get a phone call that your piece has been ‘fired’ and is ready to pick up!
When I was little I had birthday parties at places like this — recommended if you have artsy kids. Now I go here to relieve stress and add decorative pieces to my home.
