Very fun but I would say not a lot of time for only 2 hours if you were going to do something detailed and nice. And a lot of things were expensive. It takes 30 DAYS for it to be done which is like a month of waiting for your project. But on the bright side, everyone that works there are really nice and supportive, it’s very cute inside too.

This place is really lovely and quaint and I had a great time with my boyfriend. The reason I’m leaving 4 stars is because they lost my plate. My guess is that someone took the wrong one because they let the customers go into the back and grab their own plates. I think there should be a better system of making sure people don’t take other people’s work. Obviously not a huge misfortune, but I am pretty sad I put all that time into something I can’t have. Maybe they could try and check what people grab and make sure it’s there’s? Idk..(they did give me a gift card which I appreciate)

This is our first time going but we will most likely be back sometime soon.Good selection of ceramic items to paint. Helpful staff, and snacks, ice cream, and coffee while your there.Good place to bring a few friends.

Friends invited us to paint tiles for their kitchen back splash. We had so much fun. The Painted Plate had all the nessesary materials and supplies needed to do the job. The staff members were so helpful, encouraging, and knowledgeable about all aspects of the process. We can hardly wait to see the finished products. A great place to let your creative juices flow.

The peices are very cute and well priced, with a nice selection of drinks and ice cream. However, there is a pretentious worker there who I didnt catch the name of, but has been rude and snotty with a bad attitude the last 2 times Ive been there. She told us that theyd throw our peices out after a week if we didnt finish them, which another worker said theyd never do when we asked about it later. There were other experiences like this that makes me not want to go again, as I go there to relax and I feel like Im constantly being judged or looked down upon. Not to mention that they pressure us to leave without telling us how long the reservation was, I am used to being able to stay at pottery places all day but this one feels so uninviting like they just want to go go go and not actually care about the people.

This place is awesome. I even had a beer while we painted. Only takes a week to pick up your pieces. Also, best to show at 1200 or make a reservation.

Great customer service and experience as always.They have added so many new, fun things to paint!

Shout out to the two wonderful humans working a very busy Saturday 7/17/21!! Patient, kind, knowlegeable, hardworking and and excellent customer service! Im someone who really appreciated customer service and will definitely be back. 😁

So excited to be out and about more recently. We ended up going twice in two weeks! Great service and awesome selection! Cant wait to go back!

Frist time travel to Olympia, and we find this studio on the way to a cafe. We are attracted by all the pottery stuffs in display window. The instruction from the staffs are very detailed, they welcome all kinds of questions . We have great times there. Do come earlier, it will get crowded on holiday.

Super cute place went to a birthday party there. Super fun kids had a blast painting and eating ice cream. Very nice would recommend

First time going, went with a group, and had a blast! The color squares helped us pick our colors. I made an absolute mess just like when Im painting at home. The ladies working that night were kind, helpful, and bubbly. The place has an atmosphere of fun, even late at night =D

Always super helpful, I love coming here! I have my last birthday here!

Friendly staff, great pieces and wonderful drinks. This is a good spot to take your friends and family!

Such a fun place! My server Sheenah was excellent and so nice.

Absolutely love this place! All the supplies you will need are provided. The basic supplies are on your table, but be sure to browse through the containers of supplies on the shelves in the center of the room. The staff are friendly and helpful and can offer guidance in achieving a specific design or style. There is a wide selection of items to paint in a range of prices. Finished items are on display and can be used for inspiration. Plus, there are several tasty items to snack on: ice cream and savory small plates.

Fun little shop. Great place to relax, drink some coffee, and let your creative juices flow.-Prices range depending on what piece you are working on.-The staff are friendly and helpful, and the drinks are great.Awesome place to get a couple of your creative or adventurous friends together for a fun evening of painting.

My wife and I took my nieces for a day out. Called ahead and made a reservation, no problems. There were quite a few people there but it was handled very efficiently. I was surprised at the variety of items you could paint. Not just different sizes and styles or plates but bowls, cups, animals, shapes, even dinosaurs! Hungry? Order some snacks. Thirsty? Have an Italian soda, regular soda, some beer, even wine.

Great place to have a date with or without our child. Very friendly and great hosts. Coffee is excellent also. You have to try. You will end up coming back for more.

This was such an awesome place. We all can be childlike at any age.

Beautiful ceramic studio to paint your own treasure. I took my friend and her two girls (11 and 9) and we had a fun time picking colors and encouraging each other. The staff was very friendly (Meadow) and kept a very busy pace. While they did have a $22 per person special we chose our own projects so it was a bit more expensive ($130 - included our beverages and the ceramics [a tea mug, donut shaped keepsake box, unicorn bank and large plate] we chose). They provided all the paints and brushes and did the cleanup work. This weekend we can pick up our finished products (once theyve been fired) and the kids cant wait. Definately recommend this (allow a couple hours) experience for family and friends!

Was ok, not that many paint options and its kinda expensive also my pottery took forever to be fired and it got srached with anouther piece in the kiln.

Lots of options for adults looking for something different or families with their eye on the next piece of kid art to proudly display. Need a personalized gift for someone going away? Heres your place. Get out of the house call for a reservation and take your best gal/guy out for something better than dinner and a movie.

Great staff, lots of pottery and colors to choose from. Food and drinks are available. Reservations are recommended on weekends as it does fill up quickly.

What a great time :-) A table full of friends and family, laughing, talking, and creating together. The only time mobiles were used was to get painting ideas from Pintrest. A two year family tradition during the holidays and there will be many more to come.

Painted plate is always a nice calm place to go if you like to paint and enjoy drinks + food. Service this time was less than enjoyable, however. It took more than half an hour to be helped after having asked to be helped three times. Since its mothers day and they were quite busy it was understandable so Id say service is very good when its not a special event. Really love this place.

Me and my kiddo always come here when we need an art break. They’re kind and supportive of whatever we’re working on. They encourage my son to be as playful and creative on his pieces which I appreciate. Thank you ladies!

My favorite place to meet with friends for artsy time, ice cream, or coffee!

They had out side seating and a very nice selection of green ware to paint. They were very helpful in color selection. We had a most excellant visit and the process of creating a work of art is very relaxing plus you get to pick up the finished product in only about 2 weeks after it is fired. This is our 3rd trip together here. It makes a good family adventure.

My coworkers and I went as a work outing, and we loved it. When we arrived, our reserved space was clearly marked, and everything was set up and ready to go for our party of 10. Everyone painted an ornament and had a glass of wine, a beer, or an ice cream cone. A couple of people brought their children too, and they had fun as well. Great atmosphere, lots of beautiful works of art for inspiration. I made a Fortnite-inspired unicorn for my 14 year old, and I think hes going to get a kick out of it. Fun group activity, would definitely do it again!

Like ceramic projects? Wii love this place.

I love going to painted plate! The staff are always wonderful and you can tell they love their job. And its always a fun trip 😁💚

It is a fun little place to take the family. It is a little small but with covid they have distanced the tables so it is now more roomy. The one complaint I have about this place is they will sometimes rush you out. So I feel if u want to take the time to be creative u might have to take it home because if it goes past the time they want to allot to you they will tell you times up goodbye.

Such a fun place!! Highly recommend it for a girls night out or even date night. Staff are helpful and inspirational. They sell coffee, beer, wine, and ice cream! Park across the street at the bank!

Friendly staff lots of fun

Very cool place for date night, workers are conversational and helpful, it was easy and simple to paint, pay, and pick it up two weeks later

Fun place to go! Reasonable prices! We had a great time!

What an awesome place for a date.

Sooo nice, easy and flexible, you just show up and enjoy the experience of painting pottery.

So much fun, we absolutely love it here. The staff are wonderful - always helpful and nice, even during the busiest peaks. The last time we were here they were short staffed but one of the employees (who happened to be shopping downtown) just popped in to help out during the rush! Best to make a reservation if youre bringing a group.

This is one of the funnest places my girlfriends and I hang out at. Its everything you need in life, coffee, company and painting! On the weekends they are super crowded in the evenings. So try to go on a week day or early on a weekend. They also have a punch card system so you come for five visits and your sixth is free! Its a bit spendy but worth the fun, experience, and memories youll make when you stop by.

Love going here!! Fun for parties or a date night!

Great place for an occasional date night. Not an artist myself, but I found it to be a lot of fun regardless. Possibly a little bit pricey, but they take care everything for you. It gets very busy at peak times, so plan to go in on a weekday if you want a quieter painting experience with less kids around.

This is my favorite date spot. I am a Halloween freak, and as a Mexican I LOVE all of the Dia De Los Muertos pottery options.This place is very inclusive and always puts a smile on our faces on date day!

Fun place-They get the paint for you. You have a tile with what the colors look like after being fired, you tell them which ones you want and they tray it for you.-they have small snacks, beer wine and coffee available-takes about a week to get the piece back

Kids had a blast!!!

Picked up some to go pieces yesterday. It will be perfect for art class for my Littles. 🎨

There are so many options of what you can paint. This was my first time and I plan on coming back sooner than later. The one thing I would say is it gets very full with people and when/if you meed to get up it makes it hard to do so. Overall great experience and the staff was great

Staff are very sweet and helpful, the snacks are pricey but yummy. A little more direction would have been nice but overall has a great time.

Great experience! Stayed in Olympia for a softball tournament and decided to take some time to paint some stuff! We had a great time and good coffee too!

It is on the spendy side, but the time I spent with my date was quite enjoyable, and the staff was friendly and helpful.

I absolutely adore this place. It is one of my favorite date night spots and I love taking the kids I nanny here too! The staff is fun and friendly, the ice cream is very tasty and they often have unique flavors. Plus they have a huge range of things you can choose from to paint!

Fun place in downtown Olympia to do arts and crafts with your kids

So fun with family!

Perfect place to unwind. They have a nice little menu& the friendliest staff. My friend & I had a wonderful afternoon catching up while painting 😊

Fun and unique date night. Staff is very friendly. Lots of projects to choose from.

Best paint your own pottery studio ever.

The painted plate is a great place to paint anything from plates to figurines. They also have a rotating choice of drinks and a small variety of snacks and food. Its good for small parties or solo.

I just loved it!!

What a great place to spend with the grandkids on a rainy day. Loved the atmosphere, the wonderful ladies who work there, great ice cream and fantastic coffee.We will be back often.

We love this place! We take our daughters often, they really enjoy it! Reasonable pricing, great staff, and delicious treats!

When we got to the Painted Plate we had great service. We took my Mother-In-Law from Hawaii there and we all had painted pieces. When we left we were handed our receipt with the date of the earliest date to come back and pick up our pieces. Our lives are super busy so we waited to come and pick up our pieces because we live in Federal Way. We went back to the Painted Plate to pick up our pieces and were told they threw them away. So you need to be aware that they throw your pieces away if you do not come pick them up within 30 days. We never got a phone call from them to tell us this, we were never told this when we checked out. Also, to pick up your pieces you do need a receipt. Again, this was not mentioned to us at check out either. Very frustrating driving from Federal Way to Olympia to find out we need a receipt. We were going to mail the plate my mother-in-law made to Hawaii in September for her birthday. Super sad over this situation and that we will not go back. I just wished the Painted Plate would have had better customer service and call us before they threw the pieces out. If our time was coming up, a reminder call would be have been super helpful!

It was Fun..nice to do with just a friend/parent/sibling or as a larger group. You can bring your own food/drink if you do a party, but you can also enjoy warm or cold beverages there as well as Ice cream!Enjoy a crazy Mocha while you paint a Santas Cookies plate!

I took my Daughter and 2 of her friends there on her Birthday. The girls had a blast!! I cant say enough kind words about the staff. They are super nice and helpful. Just a all around great experience. We will definitely be back!!!

Lots of fun and friendly and helpful staff

Been there twice now. Made a really fun date and a great time with my friends 😁The last piece I worked on, I made too complicated but, theyll let you come back to finish it at a later date. I thought that was super sweet!

Had a great time painting here even though Im not really the artistic type. Simple instructions are given before painting by staff. They also serve delicious ice cream. Bowls, mugs, etc. that you paint are not made in house. There was a made in China logo on the ones my group received. The experience overall was quite relaxing and the interior is very pretty.

I love this place! My husband and I go here to paint pottery every few months. They have a nice selection of pottery to choose from, well organized work stations, reasonable prices, and helpful employees. Their coffee and snacks are good. I felt the snacks were priced a little high, but since thats not their main business Im fine with it, and I do appreciate that they offer it. You can make reservations or just show up, but if you have a large group you should definitely make a reservation. The place is pretty tightly packed, so if youre a wheelchair user Id suggest calling ahead so they can clear space at a table for you.

Lovely experience! A little bit expensive, but its worth it. Painting is so relaxing, and the snacks are great too. All the staff are very nice and helpful and its great for special occasions.

I just stopped into this shop on a whim to try their ice cream. I was amazed at how good the customer service is here. And their ice cream is very good. I had a wonderful experience here, and plan on coming back to try their food, wine, and pottery experience.

WE LOVED COMING HERE!!! I brought my daughter here for a mommy daughter date. They have tons of different things to choose from. Along with pottery, they offer snacks and beverages. My coffee was so good and my daughter loved her Italian soda. We had such a good time and look forward to going again.

Love to take grandkids, great therapy

Huge, quality selection of pieces to paint, excellent & talented staff, wonderful examples of work to inspire you - topped off with coffee & ice cream to enjoy while you work!This is my favourite pottery painting shop Ive ever been to by far...beyond the great options for parties and basic work - you will find people making seriously gorgeous stuff. They offer classes during the colder months - excellent for taking your skills to another level or just creating something planned out in advance.Street parking is easy here.I cant recommend Painted Plate highly enough!!

I took my 1st grade son to paint a gift for his grandma. We also had ice cream :) It was a creative, fun, easy hour of entertainment and my mom loved the gift. Highly recommend and will be coming back for date night.

Take a friend or loved one and have fun here. A great place to create something. They serve tea, coffee, beer and wine. The ice cream is very good too. For the kids or a little later for date night it is a nice place.

Had such a great time here! The staff is amazing and helps you out if you need some help being creative. They have lots of beverages and even ice cream to chose from. Can’t wait to go back!

Great vibe and helpful staff. Great for kids. My daughter has gone there for presents for years.

Great place to make cool plates, cookie jars, mugs and much more. I really enjoyed my time there. I highly recommend it if u need something to do.

My wife & I go here every year for our anniversary and paint coasters together. We are painting ornaments as a family this year and hope to make that a tradition as well. This is an incredibly fun local business that gives back to the community year after year. If you are in Olympia and looking to do something fun and different stop in and create some art! Ice cream, coffee, appetizers and wine are available as well. Perfect!

This is a great place for girls night out, date nights, or a kids birthday party. If you have a big party, or want to come on the weekend its best to reserve a table ahead.Im not an artist by any means, but Im always very happy with the pieces I create. It helps to do some Pinterest searching for inspiration first.

A wonderful couples or family experience. Pricey but you get a lasting piece of art and the staff are VERY willing to help you if they arent busy, which is often. Looking for a unique date? THIS IS IT!

Went with my daughter.... We had a great time !!Thanks for all help and all the pointers we received from the ladies who work there!Our pieces turned out great.Will definitely go there again!

Good Fun.

Fun for date night. Great for making gifts for friends and family. Let your creative side out. It doesnt matter if you dont think you are an artist, just let the paint fly. You will surprise yourself. I like the fact you can get coffee, ice cream and wine or cider plus snacks. Keeps the creative juices flowing.

This place is great, plan to be there at least 2 hours but thats still rushing it. Its fun for all ages and you control the quality of what you take home. The staff is very helpful and knowledgeable, the cost is worth the time and what you get to take home.

Best experience possible!!! Wonderful customer service! Wonderful choice! I recommend this place for everything, just be ready to spend asst least an hour on your work!

The experience was fun and everyone was really nice. They offer coffee drinks or ice cream, which is a fun touch. I only gave 3 stars because the prices seemed too high to me. My son picked a small ceramic puppy to paint, which was $15. I would think $8-10 would have been more reasonable, but maybe its accounting for buying the whole experience. Everything else one could choose to paint was all higher than that - ranging from around $20-40. We will probably go again, but not often with those prices.

The girls who work here are so patient and helpful. This is a great place to get creative and relax. Try the starving artist snacks, and let the girls mix up a fizzy drink for you! Then paint away!

Wonderful. They have classes to help you or you can free paint. My only issue which is not a big deal, is how much the ice cream cost. One scoop cost three $! No other issues. If you want a break than feel free to come here. You can even go on the website and reserve seats. Very entertaining for all ages.

A great way to zen out of screen world and enjoy some quality time with the fam!

I am obsessed! I could literally spend an entire afternoon there. Perfect for a date! Its unique and creative! My best friend and I took our daughters there for thier 8th birthday!

My wife and I had a great date here. It was relaxing and funThe food was pretty good and the staff were helpful. Be careful, you can end up spending a lot of money before you realize it.

So much a fun date or hangout location. You can sip on cafe drinks or eat ice cream while painting pottery. I definitely would recommend making reservations ahead of time.

Absolutely love it here! Great for a date with friends. The staff always helps when there are little ones and youre trying to do handprints or footprints. Its my go to place for special gifts! Such a great environment and I always see family/birthday parties!!!!

Going next weekend again, very fun place and convenient. Easy set up for novice and expert to enjoy pottery together. Last time I went was last summer, my biggest complaint was no air conditioning. It was almost unbearable. Hard to relax when you are sweating and uncomfortable. I do recommend coming, just maybe not in the heat.

Great staff! Took our granddaughter and had a wonderful time.

Took my 2 year old for a mommy daughter date. They had lots of fun options for her to choose from. We enjoyed Icecream and painted. They had a wonderful coffee bar as well as food optipns for you and your little ones. The staff was very helpful and friendly!

Perfect for parent-child dates. Loved the experience. My 5 year old shares her creations with everyone that visits our home.

Wonderful as always! The staff is super helpful and there is a ton of awesome stuff to paint. Be prepared to spend at least 2 hours here :)

It was fun and exciting. They were packed, it was Saturday. The staff was very helpful and friendly. Been there several times, always great. Awesome place for birthday parties.
