They did a great job entertaining the 8-10 year olds with painting canvas of Halloween scene at my daughters birthday party. The girls all had a great time and the hosts were very accommodating.
The day we went, the 1 person working basically ignored us. We had to ask at least 6 or 7 times for her to bring us paint for our canvas! Then when I went to pick up the pottery, no one was there even after 45 minutes after they were supposed to be open. It took another hour before I was informed that someone was finally there and I could get my pottery. The girl looked lost and couldnt find the one piece of pottery that was in a bag labeled with my name DIRECTLY in front of her! She acted as if she would rather I not be there messing up her day.Not professional at all IMO!!!.
Came here for my boyfriends birthday. The experience was fun and we were able to make keepsakes from that day, they had a lot of options to pick from which allowed us to have fun with it
My daughter loved her experience at Make Expression for the summer camp. She learned a lot and got to paint and crate many cool arts & crafts creations. The staff were also very friendly!
We came here over the weekend and were pretty disappointed.The employees were both just sitting there painting and we had to ask for help/direction several times. It wasnt until AFTER we were done we were told we couldnt even take our art with us. Had they explained a little bit or given any sort of conversation on the process- we would have picked something we could take home the same day. We asked about shipping (one of us is from out of town) and she literally told us how much of a hassle it is to ship.Dont waste your money here.
Being able to sit down and paint ceramics like I used to is always so much fun. Even better that they have so much more to offer!
Great studio to paint in! Isabella was very helpful and super enthusatic
A fun place to come and paint! Very clean! I love the pottery selection to paint, and they had a variety of options in different price ranges.
Our family loves it. Great employees and fun for all ages. Shout out to Amy who helped us out :-)
Loved this place! Employees are friendly and it’s a fun time. Loved how our ceramics turned out. Will visit again.
This is my daughter’s favorite summer camp every year! She begs to do several weeks of it each year as she loves the various themes and projects. She comes home with beautiful artwork and projects and a giant smile on her face. I highly recommend this summer camp!
Our 7-year-old granddaughter went to three camps at Make Expression this summer, and did another virtual one on Zoom.She got up every day excited to go and willing to wear her face mask for the entire three hours.She produced a new project daily in a huge variety of mediums, and often came wanting to extend what she had learned that day.“Miss Dipali” is a wonderful teacher, encouraging and patient as she guides kids’ creativity.She also has camps during school holidays, as well as, open studio times. We highly recommend you check her out.
Best Art Camp my child has been to. The quality and professionalism of the staff is great. She enjoys it every year.
Beautiful place with lots of different pieces to paint or to grab a canvas and create! A little strange that the owner watches you on camera when theyre not there. My friend and I were there painting/drinking as its byob. We wore our masks everywhere but the table so we could drink and I heard the owner call the person who worked there asking if we had masks. I was wondering how they even knew we were there until I saw the camera in the corner. Made me feel super uncomfortable the rest of the time.
Really cool craft idea for families, bored people, or dates.
Amazing fun! Staff was great...I think one of them was the owner. Very helpful and loved making pottery. My son did mosaic door hanger and is so proud of it. Love the concept...and no studio fees!
Best art studio I’ve been to by far. Had a great experience. Staff was friendly and very helpful. And by the way, so many options to choose from. Highly recommend.
I love it here they have tons of choices and my pieces were done in less than a week
I went with kids ages 5, 9, and 17 who each chose an item to paint. They all enjoyed it!Ceramics, mosaics, glass fusing, candle making, painting, and maybe other things too.This place has a nice variety of projects to choose from and plenty of options for each project so you can find something within your price range.Its also nice that you can go without an appointment. Check their website for hours. The staff was helpful and interacted nicely with all of the patrons when we were there.I think Ill go back without the kids sometime and choose something I want to do. :)
What an amazing art studio that includes pottery ( my favorite), mosaic designs, candle making, glass fusing and so much more! Dipali is so kind and generous with her time....She made me feel quite special....In todays times, its fantastic to have a place that caters to ones whimsical side....
I came here for my friends birthday party. I purchased 3 Groupons for the 16x20 stretch canvas, one solo, and a two person Groupon. We saw once we arrived that they also had candle making, mosaic making and ceramic painting. My friend (the birthday girl) fell in love with a ceramic and wanted to paint that instead so I quickly refunded the solo Groupon on the Groupon app and my sister and I continued with our canvases. All the materials passed out were cheap, used, brushes very cheap paints, and a crowded work area not accommodating our 5 person group. When we were done and went to checkout I pointed out that I had the Groupon and had the lady with the bangs redeem it. I was dismissed and told no, that in fact it was actually just a $10 off coupon instead of the $48 I spent on two of them, then charged again $65 in store. First she was wrong, but also I was appalled that for two cheap canvases, some old used cheap raggedy paintbrushes, and some basically generic crayola washable paints it would have been $75 in total regular price - That’s a huge rip-off. I knew this felt wrong. I knew I paid for it already, went home, double checked my account later and when I emailed the owner with screenshots of my bank charges and the Groupon charge I was treated as if I was lying. Even after I gave her the Groupon order number of the two person Groupon I was double charged for, she went so far as to investigate to find the third Groupon that I refunded earlier that day we went to try to “disprove” me. That’s very poor customer service. It took every patient bone in my body to write out for a third time an explanation of the problem to her and finally received a refund but one I had to drive another hour there to get.
Wonderful!! Love the pottery painting, and mosaics!
Great experience! They have a wide variety of ceramics to paint and even have seasonal pieces. The colors are well stocked and really pretty!
The place is great and the owner is very professional and welcoming - the lady there today (Sunday) for us to finish what we started on Saturday was cold and not as helpful though.... if the same lady or the same professionalism was experienced on day 2 as in day 1 this would have been a 5 star for sure. She started right off the bat by telling me how we shouldnt have left our creations overnight.... (the younger assistant the day before closed and told us to leave them...). My kids were quiet and minding their own business but she felt compelled to tell my daughter to not touch the mosaic rocks unless she was doing a mosaic... (she was barely looking at one on her way back from the restroom - chill!). The assistant on Day 1 charged me the wrong amount for one item and again the day 2 lady was less than friendly about the refund. She did it as it was obvious but its all about the tone and transparency of process.... All in all this place is great and I will come back.... but Ill first make sure I come on days when the owner is there instead.UPDATE: thank you for you response. I appreciate you commenting and addressing. I love your shop and we try to come every week end. Updated to 5 stars.
My daughter and I love this place. The staff is so helpful, patient with children, and professional. We like that you can choose from a variety of art project that will definitely keep us coming back for more.What even more impressive is that this company is honest. I lost my anniversary diamond earings sometime on Sunday. I called and left a message on Monday because they were closed. She heard message came in and search the whole place. We didnt have any luck. Tuesday still in the back of her mind she was cleaning and came upon a shinny object. Yeah for me!!! Most people would already forgotten because someone else items arent their problem but here they care.I cant say enough about this place. Thanks again
They are so patient with children. They truly want to have each child get the best experience and product. They get down to each childs level so as to make them feel special.
Lots of seasonal activities and different projects to choose from. Enjoyable for any age. Staff go above and beyond to ensure you have a good time.
Really enjoyable experience! Walk in art classes has to be the most ingenious idea yet in this industry and its affordable for any budget. Will definitely come back
I love this place! It is so welcoming and friendly, and you can tell a difference from the moment you walk in the door. They genuinely care and love what they do, and it really shows. The variety of projects, the choices - its wonderful - and we need more art in our lives - kids AND us adults! Its a fun break from digital overload - keep up the great work!
So many fun projects available at low prices. Really creative environment and cool options!
Terrible place for a birthday. The owner is extremely stingy, she has a flat affect she doesn’t smile. She wouldn’t give any additional colors to kids to paint!! I mean come on man paint and glue is less than a dollar.....they don’t even have crayons for the kids to draw on a piece of paper. I would never have a birthday there. She has no idea how to run a business.....
Me and my boyfriend came to painting with a twist for the first time and we had a great experience.
Great experience! My wife loved it.. she created a mosaic art for the kitchen. Easy to do ; staff was helpful. I did a paint item. Turned out well…
Amazing place to paint on your free day or a rainiy day it so much fun and piece full ❤️❤️❤️
The woman who owns this place is cold, rude, and creepy. She hovers over you while you try to work, watching every move you make. Impossible to relax. I definitely suggest going on a day where one of the young girls are working because they won’t be rude and weird.
Wonderful place and extremely kid friendly. There are so many mixed media projects to try and a very welcoming environment. Great place as walk-ins and the summer camps are really fun too.
Very talented and passionate people. Patient and great with kids!
Easy to work with. Many art products available
This place has so many options for painting! The staff is super friendly and helpful as well.
The website dont say that $ 75 should be pay additional to the party bill per person. But the stuff very nice and friendly.
I want to become a candle carver and this helped my make a small store Highly recomend
Absolutely loved my experience here today! I bought groupons for my mom, a friend, and I for our birthdays and we had so much fun.It was super easy to call and book everything over the phone. They took down my groupon voucher number and we selected the day to come. We received a warm welcome and told where to sit. Make Expression is a medium sized art studio with several tables surrounded by shelves full of owls, cups, bowls, dinosaurs, and anything else you can think of that can be painted. Imagine it and they have it!Kate was our instructor and she was super nice, encouraging, and helpful. I did not do the best job with my painting, but she told me that anything we do can be fixed--and she wasnt lying. Literally I made so many mistakes and I just painted right over it. A little bit of white and yellow paint really goes a long way. I am not sure if the wine messed up my painting skills or not--but, my painting turned out okay. I think I may hang it where no one can see it, but I am so glad that I tried anyway! My mom and my friend also had a great time and their paintings turned out amazing!!I definitely recommend Make Expression for families and childrens birthday parties. I love that you can bring in your own wine, but this is definitely a more family friendly place versus a girls night spot. It was still a great experience though!
Blown ceramic, candle making. Painting and more.
Went there with my friends had an amazing time, I am not an art person but they have so many options I did a candle and a mosaic and I think it cane out very nice.
Thanks for the call and thanks for hearing my recommendation.
I worked here a few years ago and I wont suggest going here. The owner I have only ever experanced being rude to staff and customers.
