It was a great place to gather friends/family to celebrate my daughters birthday. Great choices of pottery to paint. Our party host was fabulous! Definitely will do again!
This was a wonderful lesson with Leigh. We had a great time and she was very accommodating and flexible as we were slightly behind for our reservation due to traffic delays. We enjoyed every minute and she explained everything so well and guided us as we experienced difficulties molding and centering the clay. It was a wonderful experience and very relaxing. I would highly recommend this activity any occasion and it could be a great therapeutic exercise. Thanks so much Claying Around for being so amazing!!!
Fantastic birthday party expeience! We held our daughters 9th birthday at Claying Around and she and her friends had a great time making glass pendants. The staff at Claying Around were so kind and helpful and made the experience so much fun for the kids and stress free for me as the organizing parent. I will definitely book other parties here in the future.
Love this place! The staff are super kind and theres so much to do. Absolutely reccomend.
Great class and we felt like me learned a lot. Took a lot of patience working with us because we had no clue what we were doing! Thanks again! Can’t wait to see the things we made once they are dry!
I love going to Claying Around. Lee and Fred are so GREAT! They are very attentive to everyone who comes in. I love it because it is a place that I take my special needs little sister and she says it relaxes her,. The selection of things to do is great. I highly recommend it for parties too.
Lots of fun! Great for kids and adults! Clean and Covid precautions in place. Staff was friendly and helpful.
It was an awesome experience! The staff were very helpful and kind. Definitely recommend this place.
We love Claying Around! The owners are so nice and my kids love to go there and paint.
Had lots of fun. Very kid friendly. Super helpful.
I have been to this sort of place before when my kid was growing up, just to do the painting of the already prepared pieces.This is the best one I have been to. I got a gift certificate for a friend to go for a pottery wheel lesson here, and she wanted me to go too. The staff are so nice. They really walk around and help people if they need it. They keep things tidy. You can tell they like what the do and are not just there for a paycheck. Super nice! Fun time!
Great time had here! Staff was super funny and knowledgeable, and PATIENT with my younger kids. Prices were a little high for items, but I imagine in order to turn a profit, they’re right where they need to be. Observed a woman who obviously had been there over the course of several different days and weeks to work on a piece she was definitely putting a lot of care and detail into. How therapeutic! Noticed she was treated well too. Overall just left there with good vibes, if not a tiny bit of sticker shock.
Lame. Limited paints. Stock is too cartoony. Great for kiddos. Expensive for what it is. I did feel safe covid wise. 1 rep was on it, the other was dry as toast. Wont b back.
We dig the selection of paintable goods and the atmosphere. The woman who owns the place is the bomb as are the helpful folks working there (Freds the man!). Weve visited for solo trips, a birthday party or two, and summer camp. Never a bad time. Since theyve been willing to ship pieces to the out of town family weve brought there, I think this would make for a good place for the generally loathed tourists to bring their kids when its either too hot or too stormy to play outside.
The artist on duty really helped me with painting my vase!
Amazing experience at Claying Around. This place is AWESOME. They have a huge selection of paint your own pottery, mosaics and canvas painting. The staff is SUPER helpful and the store is well organized and stocked with all the extras that help me to make my artwork spectacular! They EVEN SHIP my pieces home so I dont break them on the flight!!!A++++ Make this a MUST to do in Ashevllle;)
Amazing experience!!!!!😀 Between Paints,brushes and a lot of ideas, I have a great time at Claying around.I have to thank Fred for been a super cool,knowledgeable artist the helps me a lot to set my ideas together. Very recommended!!!!!
The selection here is incredible! I thought the prices were just a tad high, but Im no expert and overall I think it was worth it! We had a wonderful time.
What a fun experience. I took my daughter for a special unicorn event with ice cream sundaes and painting. The pieces come back in a few days and are just beautiful. A great place to get your craft on!!
Had a fantastic birthday party here. Wonderful staff and really fun place!
Best place in town for paint your own pottery! And so much more...canvas painting, wheel lessons, kids camps, birthday parties. Wow! My family and I love to go anytime we get a chance. I even took a group from work there for our annual holiday party, it was a great change from the boring same old thing.
Great place for all ages. They have someone who helps you while your painting so you dont have to constantly get up. I have a toddler, so it was really helpful to have someone switch out water and get extra napkins. Pick your pottery, choose paints and everything else is on the table or you can request. They also offer additional crafts to do other than pottery.
Great place to go. Staff was very helpful and my 5 year old granddaughter loves going here.
Amazing place! So many fun options and lots of classes offered. The owner and staff were so kind and helpful. Definitely recommend.
Update: 2/3/20. Its sad an owner would reduce theirselves to lying just to make it seem like a customer was making up a story about their experience specifically by saying they DONT OFFER CUPCAKES. Thats because they changed the website. However, I kept a copy of the receipt and will paste the area we selected below. Because of this attempt by the owner to cover up a lie, I reduced the rating an additional star. I would never recommend this place going forward.Special requests/questions?This will be a party for adults aged from 30 - 60 years old.Face Painting ($4 per guest)NOSnow Cones ($2 per guest)NODecorate your own cupcakes ($4 per guest)NOPlease choose a cupcake flavor!Vanilla & ChocolateWe enjoyed the painting experience, however we specifically selected vanilla and chocolate cupcakes. But upon arrival we were told that simply because we didnt select the decorate our own tab which we assumed was a $4 extra charge to do so as a specialty of some sort rather than just receiving already made cupcakes - we didnt get any cupcakes period and since my family was from China and had never tasted cupcakes before and this was going to be a first time experience - they missed out because of poor website directions and bad communication on Claying Arounds part. I would reccomend this place for fun parties and family get-togethers but am sorely dissatisfied with this cupcake bungling.
Took a pottery class and loved it. Very reasonably priced. Looking forward to going back.
Great place to gather with a few friends and celebrate some together time. We brought cupcakes and drinks and made it a birthday party for a twelve-year-old (too old for little girl parties, but this was perfect!). Friendly staff and helpful service when the girls had questions, e.g. how to get that little blob of glaze off when it hit the wrong place (solution: rub off with a wet sponge). Lots of glace colors...brushes in every size...endless design possibilities. A fun outing for any aspiring artist...even the bathroom has decorative walls that accommodate chalk drawings!
Such a PLEASURE!! Enjoy the atmosphere, super staff & spending time with my sister & best friend! Awesome place to hang out & create!!
Awesome time. One of our favorite places.
Great place for the kids to learn and pass time. Just wish there were more selections of prefired pieces to choose from. After a few trips with the kids they want to color pieces that they have done before.
A little pricey but my daughter and I had a lot of fun and made memories to last!
It was a great place, wonderful experience, but a little all over the place.
Amazing place to take your kids or even go as a date!
Great place!! really nice staff
Had a great time with my husband
Awesome place, a wonderful rainy day activity for grumpy teenagers.
Seriously one of the MOST RELAXING indoor activities in Asheville.
If your in the Asheville area do not miss Claying Around in the Biltmore Village. You get to paint your own pottery! they have the greatest selection, of every thing. When your finished they glaze your pottery, and it was shipped right to my house! It was great fun and my kids had a ball painting, and went home with a great souvenier.
My daughter loves it here.
Way overpriced.
Worst experience in customer service ever!!!
Great fun for families.
Pottery painting, glass fusing, canvas painting, hand building, wheel lessons and more!
Great food.
Awesome staff
She loved it
I enjoy doing these things on my own. It’s my meditation/medicine. The problem usually is that I am made to feel awkward for being there by myself. But not this time. It was quite the opposite. Thank you for being patient with me-I don’t like to rush through things. So I am usually the last person there-also didn’t make me feel awkward about that either. Fingers crossed my project turned out okay. The instructors were knowledgeable, kind and kind of funny. My table-mates were also kind. I am thinking people from Asheville, NC are just kind in general. I love living here.
I took my nieces there for a pottery wheel lesson we had soooo much fun. The employees were so helpful and engaging. Would definitely go back!
