I loved this place! I went with my 2 sisters and we all did a pottery painting project. They have so much to choose from that it was hard to decide but love that they have such a variety. The experience was very laid back and calm. Music was great which contributed to the great vibe of the place. The staff were very…
We had a girls day out here and we painted coasters that we bought in the store. We just walked in; no reservations needed. The prices are reasonable and the employees provide guidance if you ask for it. We didn’t have much experience, if any, and we had a great time. The coasters came with a nice tray to stack them…
What an absolutely cute place! Unbelievable amount of space and so much to do, paint ceramics, pop in and do what you want. We visited today and had a nice birthday party with friends. Nice staff. Can't wait to head back!

The cutest place to go with your girls. I didn’t realize how creative I was! 🥰

We had a girls day out here and we painted coasters that we bought in the store. We just walked in; no reservations needed. The prices are reasonable and the employees provide guidance if you ask for it. We didn’t have much experience, if any, and we had a great time. The coasters came with a nice tray to stack them in. We use the coasters quite a bit at home. We found that the coasters were a bit slippery on the bottom so we purchased some rubber grip tape to put on the bottom and now they work perfectly. There is a free parking lot on the back but it was full so I parked on the street that has meters.

We celebrated my daughter’s 6th birthday at Catalyst Art Studio and had such a wonderful experience! From start to finish, everything was seamless—the online booking process was simple, the party room was perfectly prepared when we arrived, and the entire flow of the event was effortless. Alyssa was a fantastic host who kept the kids fully engaged and having so much fun. The inclusions made the whole process stress-free for us, and the goodie bags were so thoughtful and impressive. We’ll definitely be back to paint some pottery!
We had a blast! Thanks for celebrating with us 🥰

Thank you! We are so happy to hear this ❤️
Excellent studio to host a paint class birthday party! The kids had fun, the structure of the party is great, and it’s minimal planning for busy parents. The one thing I would have appreciated is more communication per party. The automatic email when you book says you will get a response within a week. I never got one, reached out via email to confirm party and was told to check in again wjth final count and what the painting chose was a few days pre party. Overall, highly recommend
We are so happy to hear you had a nice time, thanks so much!
We loved everything about this party! Everything was so well-organized and the decor/decorations were so cute! Thank you Alyssa for being so patient with and playful with the kids - they had so much fun and absolutely loved the entire process - and went home with such cute paintings! 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking for a fun birthday party for a 7 year old girl!
Thank you so much! Birthday parties are our favorite and we are so happy that you enjoyed yours <3
Simple art projects designed to enable anyone to explore, discover, and produce a piece of art that is uniquely thiers even though it starts with a template. Here is my 1st attempt at painting at age 70.
You're certainly talented! Thanks for spending the evening with us 😊
