Oliloli Arts & Crafts Studio

Was here today for my daughter 7^th Birthday with 4 friends. They had soooo much fun. Books to read, toys, the painting and loved the chalkboard wall. Staff was very helpful and friendly.
Very modern

Came here with my daughter so she can make a mother’s day gift for her grandmother. We came on a sat afternoon and it was not overly crowded. The system is super simple. You pick a ceramic piece pick like 8 colors (with unlimited refills) and sit and paint. It looked like they had an outside area and with a lot of people the place can get cramped quick. However this is a quant little place that is fairly priced

Long wait but everything was super easy. I only gave a out of 5 because the prices were very high considering how on your own you are!

This was our second time coming in! The first time we came in and it was a perfect stormy night! My husband and i sat in the back and we chose to paint tiles that we can hang up. Desi is just simply AMAZING! She is professional, kind, patient, educational, did i say PATIENT! There were some screaming children so those with sensitive ears, come later? We cant wait for our 3^rd and 4^th and 5^th visits…=)

We dropped in at 4:30 on NYE and grabbed our ceramics and took a seat to get paints set up while easy listening played overhead. Went with the Hulk Box ($ 30.48) and had a nice time, finishing the 3^rd layer just before they closed @ 6. Friendly staff and a great, low-​key way to spend a few hours.

We had our daughter 9^th Birthday at Oliloli.
Desi and crew helped us and we’re very nice &helpful. This is our second time there, first time was with a school trip. Both times had great experience.

I use to paint ceramic an plaster when I was a kid. Saw this on nearby activity on Unilocal an thaught it looked cute, so my girlfriend, father and I decided to go today to check it out.
The store is nice an clean and tidy, the pieces were displayed well.
What I really loved about this place is that the caters to painter’s of all ages, useully places like this focus on kids and carry simple cutesy things.
They do have the cutesy stuff like little cows and princesses etc.
For the more skilled painters they have vases, mugs, jewelry boxs and other lovely home décor items.
The staff was great they were friendly and very knowledgeable he talked us threw the whole process and how things worked.
You pick a piece
You pick your paint
You can take as much time to finish your craft.
Overall it was a cute a relaxing experience and we will definitely return. I can’t wait to pick up our finished pieces in 10 day’s!

Came here for the very first with my sister to catch up since we barely see each other. We had the best time since ever!!! This place is really awesome and allows for your creativity come to life. Highly recommend it especially for tired parents who need to keep their children (appropriate ages are 4+ in my opinion) busy, focused and interested for a good 2 hours.

I finally had a chance to check this out yesterday with my daughter and sister. My daughter is so into arts & crafts and I’ve been looking for an arts studio here in Queens until I found this place through Unilocal.The place wasn’t hard to find and parking wasn’t bad. I used metered parking right in front of the store. They have a spacious, beautifully decorated studio inside. Staff are nice and warm. Bonnie was superb, she guided us throughout our first experience and we had a wonderful time. Will surely be back here again and maybe– have my daughter’s birthday here too

Came here this past weekend. Super cute spot!
Upon entering we were greeted by a friendly staff member and she explained how everything works. They had a decent selection ranging from small to large and a little something for all. We picked out a medium sized trinket box cupcake ($ 22) and a small dog ($ 18) to paint. This price included unlimited paint time and supplies. We took about 2 hrs to complete and have to return in 10 days to pick up our items after they glaze and fire them. Can’t wait to see the finished product.
It was a fun, relaxing time with chill music playing in the background. I will be back for the holidays to pick out some gifts.
Highly recommend this place!

I visited this establishment about 3 weeks ago as a means of trying to relax. I’ve had a hectic year with school and needed a day completely to myself. I have always loved doing arts and crafts, especially painting but I decided to put down the paint brush and do some glass fusing. After reading all of the wonderful reviews on Unilocal,I knew this place would fulfill all of my happy wishes. Firstly, upon walking in, I was warmly greeted by a number of staff members. The place is very trendy and clean. All the pieces available are on display throughout the establishment, so your hardest decision comes down to, «What should I make?» and «what color should it be». I chose a clear base and made a small glass fused plate. I was given a brief tour of all the glass fusing tools and pieces then allowed to do my craft. I spent about 3 hours there without any trouble. The staff were so kind and welcoming, they help you when needed and check up on you periodically. Altogether, I paid about $ 48 and my piece was ready for pick up within a week. I overheard a staff member say that most of their pieces like a coffee mug, starts at about $ 18 (call to confirm, of course). You are also allowed to bring beverages during your time. Only thing I would warn others about are children. There were quite a few families painting with children, so it did get noisy at times; but this was not an issue for me as it may be for others. As the evening approached, more adults came in, therefore changing the atmosphere. Overall, I am very pleased with my piece and the service and will be returning more often and recommending to others.

Had an amazing time. Super friendly staff. Dezzi was very helpful and made us feel welcome and even helped us when our 2 year got a little fussy. Really nice place for all ages. Would definitely come back. Probably with out the kids. lol

Awesome. We were in NYC from LA over the winter and we were looking for a place to keep our 2 year old from going crazy indoors. What an incredibly peaceful and beautiful environment for youngsters to create in and enjoy. My only nit is that its in New York, and they don’t have one in Los Angeles ;-)
We also went back during autumn 2014 and the studio was equally fun for our daughter.

The girls spent an Sunday afternoon here with friends and having been to so many different art studios to do crafts in the past, this one definitely is top notch, starting with customer service, space, and choice of products and paint. It’s really a great way to spend the afternoon. I can’t tell you how happy my girl was to make her little elsa doll with some wonderful help from staff. A lovely place overall…

I passed by this place half a year ago, and I finally got the chance to stop by a couple of days ago. And I even went back the next day! This is truly a hidden gem because it definitely does not stand out and you really have to pay attention if you’re looking for it.
Oliloli has a great variety of ceramics for you to paint that varies from figurines, salt & pepper shakes, cups/​mugs, bowls and plates, trays, and so forth! You only pay the price of the piece and there is no fee — You sit there, use their paints and stuff, etc. It’s all included. I recommend finishing the painting the same day though. I usually need 1.5−2 hours when I paint ceramics. Pick up time is two weeks later.
The place itself is just beautiful, clean, and organized. Children-​friendly — They have toys, books, and a blackboard available for them. The staff is friendly and always willing to help you! They also have other crafts available, too! This place makes my heart happy and I will definitely be back.

Such a nice art studio; clean, bright, friendly staff and great collection of paint and pottery! Decently priced as well. Looking forward to going back!!!

I’ve come back several times to work on painting ceramics and twice I brought my four year old niece. She had a blast painting and when the fun of painting wore off and she got bored the staff was awesome. They let her draw on the chalk board wall and when she got tired of that, the staff were talking to her and showing her other things she could play with (they have some dolls and puppets). I love how the staff engaged her in other activities so i could finish up my stuff. However please keep in mind the staff is not a babysitting service, it’s great they engaged my niece and kept her busy but it is not their job to watch her, I kept my eye on her while she was talking to the staff and playing with other things. :)
Any project I’ve painted has come back within 2 weeks, I’ve usually only had about a weeks wait for my piece to be fired in the kiln. I honestly cannot wait to get back and paint. With the holidays quickly approaching I know I will be back to paint some holiday themed pieces.

I come here whenever I need a distraction from the everyday norm. There is a wide selection of pieces to choose from and I often paint ²⁄₃ pieces at a time. I really enjoy painting gifts for friends and the prices are reasonable. Great experiences with the staff and owner too. Bring your friends, your kids, or your date!

I came to this studio after learning about them on mommy poppins. After reading a few reviews I finally decided to visit with my Hailee. Once there we were greeted with a warm welcome which made us feel comfortable. My two year old felt like such an adult. She was able to choose her own ceramic as well as the paint colors she wanted to use for her ceramic piggy. Staff there is super sweet and the best part is they accept CC :). I can’t wait to come back in two weeks to pick up my Hailee’s master piece. Thank you so much guys can’t wait until our next visit.

Amazing place!!! Beautiful, peaceful and I loved the fact that there are different options besides painting pottery; like fusing glass and painting on canvas. As soon as we arrived, we got started. The young lady there was very pleasant and helpful. We weren’t kicked out past closing time and were allowed several extra minutes to finish up. Would definitely return!
