Creatopia

I’ve been coming here since it first opened, but hadn’t been in in quite a while. My daughter came with her girl scout troop and thought about having her birthday here (December babies have such a tough time planning a party; indoors and something to keep kids engaged)
We came on a Sunday afternoon, that happened to be family fun day so they were booked for a few hours. We put our name on the list and spent some time walking Plymouth eating cupcakes and visiting shops. SO make reservations if you can.
At our appropriate time, we came in and got started. What a great time! You get a lesson and tour of all the tools and paints, as well as some tips to help you make a masterpiece. The only drag is that after bonding with your piece, you must leave it to be glazed… such grief, for the week it takes to be done! Give them every minute of the seven days. It really takes that long!
So that did it. We were coming back for the party. I made my reservation for a party of 10 painters for a small deposit.
On party day, I arrived and as kids and grown ups alike arrived, I realized that we’d have one more painter than I had calculated (the adults had a look of childlike wonder at the thought of creating a piece) No big deal! They pulled up a chair and were included for an appropriate additional charge. They had a small table set up for presents and refreshments (I did juice pouches in a cooler as it would have gotten very crazy had the kids had cups) Had a pizza delivered, and a tray of cupcakes we picked up from Cupcake Station around the corner. I kept it all very portable and easy to serve and set up and it went very smoothly.
Party participants have a choice of a pricepoint or lower for their piece, and besides keeping their cost in check, it’s a genius plan as if you go for a bigger piece, you may run over on paint time. They do allow you to pay the difference if someone chooses a piece over the pricepoint, but do know that it may take longer to finish it. One hour to paint, then eating, cake and presents. We were in and out within an hour and 40 minutes.
The staff did a great job keeping everything moving along and providing support to anyone who had a question about their piece. they wrote names on our pieces, we settled up quickly and it was a wonderful time. Such great attitudes about the whole process. I’d recommend this company for a kiddie party or even a girls night out or date night. It was very nice.

I so wish they had a place like this in my neighborhood. I came here with some girl scouts and had the most amazing time. The girls ranged in ages from 5 – 10. They each got the opportunity to pick an item to paint within the $ 15 price range. There were lots to choose from — fairies, puppies, treasure boxes, etc. Our items were ready one week later and I was pleasantly surprised how well they turned out. The finished project looked really professional. They were so proud and will have it to treasure for many years to come.

Absolutely wish I could give this business ten stars. I remember a place like this called art castle when I was little. I love how well the staff explains things if you’re new. I’m not very artistic so any advice helps!!! I like the choices of pottery, although it’s so hard to pick because everything looks so cool. I’ve been there twice so far so I’ve picked projects under $ 20. Over $ 20, the projects get a little harder (and requires more imagination) so I feel I need more practice. They have standard colors on each table, but have sparkle paint & paint pens around the store you can use. Also they have stencils & stickers. Tuesday is half off day so it’s great to take the kids. They have ladies night & family night too. Make sure you reserve a table. If you walk-​in, don’t get mad if you don’t get a table. They are busy & popular, so reserve a table!!! Overall, I’ll be a regular here. It’s great for family time, girls night, or even date night! Will definitely try a class once too.

I can be crafty, and I do get around. Every time I have kids around me, I want to encourage creativity. Many nephews, nieces, and rental niece/​nephews have accompanied me. Special deals on special days make this affordable, especially if you choose smaller items. The staff is always patient and helpful and cleans up after you and the messy kids you brought. A nice change and the ability to interact and converse as opposed to a movie, arcade, or electronic device night.

What a nice place!
I had never painted anything in my life, but my wife wanted to try painting some pottery so we visited Creatopia. You pick the pottery you want to paint from their large collection, they give you some basic instructions, and you’re left alone to enjoy your time and paint.
They have a huge selection of paint colors and materials you can use, which are all included in the studio fee. The staff is friendly and they are willing to help you with ideas and answering questions, or they are happy to leave alone, if you prefer.
Tip: if you make a reservation at least 24 hours in advance, the studio fee is $ 5 instead of $ 9.
Overall, this is a very enjoyable place to visit. We have visited twice and have no complaints. It’s great for kids. Our 4 year old loved it!

This place is great. We had a lot of fun. There is an enormous selection of pottery and they are very helpful. The prices aren’t bad. Would recommend making a reservation as it is a bit cheaper and the place can get crowded. Definitely will recommend to others.

Very fun to bring the little ones and watch the creativity applied.
Great for small bday groups.

had a grea time-​took 2 5-​year olds for a girls day out and the staff was friendly, helpful, and totally relaxed with 2 super excited little girls! i’m excited to have my daughter’s birthday party there in the fall. projects turned out much better than expected. had a great time-​thanks!

I take my young cousins here at least twice a year in lieu of traditional birthday/​christmas presents. They absolutely adore it. I’ve even painted some stuff here myself, when enough time has passed in between visits for me to forget that I am a failure as an artist.
The quality of the pottery they have to paint is very good (something I can vouch for as I spent about 15 years throwing pottery myself) and they have a great selection of glazes. The owner seems a little grouchy but she is always great with kids, even when I see people’s children running amok. Perhaps she is one of those people who interacts better with children. The other employees are unfailingly friendly to everyone.
My only complaint is that for unknown reasons they refuse to give out their wireless password. Seriously? I am bored, my 3G doesnt work in there and I would like the opportunity to do something productive while the kids are totally engaged in something other than chattering non-​stop.
Anyway, all it all its a great place to take kids, prices are decent considering what you get, and the kids I know are always thrilled to have the opportunity to go here.

I am not the type of girl who wants to sit around being crafty. I went through my knitting and crocheting phases but painting, nope. I still had fun.
If you go on a Tuesday or Thursday you get your studio time for under 5 bucks. That works. Basically you pick your pottery, pick the colors, paint it up to your liking and pick it up a week later. Easy peasy.
It is fun to craft something you like and can actually use in colors you choose. Do not make my mistake and bring it to your moms on the way home. Your mom may try to swipe it if she sees it, teary with nostalgia from gifts of your craft projects of yore. However it is embarassing to be contemplating putting a forty year old *kid’s* artwork on display. Sadly I am only moderately more talented than I was then so it would be extra pathetic to be showing off my creations. I will be keeping mine for my own personal enjoyment thanks.
Luckily for me the people can help even the most creatively challenged among us and my project came out much better than I thought it would. Win!

This is a cute & fun place to take kids or to just go and have a little artsy-​fartsy adult time. It’s too bad they don’t serve wine ;) I guess not the best idea being surrounded by breakables but a girl can dream…
Lots of glaze colors to choose from although I wish there were more pottery to choose from. A lot of it seemed kiddy-​friendly which is cool, that’s probably their main clientele… for some reason I was a little disappointed in the selection.
No biggie though, I chose a little dish that will soon be a good ash tray, hah.
Pricing was so-so…you can do a small square tile for as little as $ 3 but a lot of the other things went from $ 8 and up. I think the charge for the glaze was $ 6…but I also think that they had a buy-​one, get-​one type of special going on. I don’t know, my friend picked up the «tab» this time.
Staff is pretty friendly and helpful although they did keep reminding us what time they close which was slightly annoying. One count-​down reminder is just fine, but 2 and 3 started to become irritating; we knew what time they close!
You put the glaze on your items and then pick it up a week later. I was disappointed to learn that I would not take home my masterpiece tonight but I guess they have to have more than just a few items to justify firing up that kiln.
I’ll go back, it was fun!

There is not one single ‘artsy’ part of me but for some reason I keep going back to this place. I think I know why:
*Cool paint colors to choose from
*Great selection of pottery
*The place isn’t overrun by wild children
*Reasonably priced
*Major stress reliever from a nutty day
*Self esteem booster for making something tangible
*The people who work there are friendly and helpful
Until these great items disappear, I will continue my crazy pottery adventures!

You’re only born with one face. Wouldn’t life be easier if we could just paint one on?
Quaint shop in downtown Plymouth great for letting your creativity flow (you might want to bring mop; even the most hard-​hearted will find their inner artist). This pottery painting palace has a considerable selection of ready to paint wares, from dinner plates and charges to piggy banks and bird houses. The help were immensely friendly, from giving tips and suggestions to helping you pick out the perfect color for your one of a kind candy bowl/​key holder/​makeshift cup.
Pieces are fired up and ready for pick up a week after, so you’ll need a spot of patience. Why four stars? The price tag for these pieces were a bit high but nothing out of the ballpark. Grab the kiddies and head on down.

Creatopia is a paint-​it-​yourself pottery place. Nestled amongst the cute-​sie shops in Downtown Plymouth, it is a great place to take the girls! They have all sorts of pottery you can paint! Plates, bowls, holiday stuff, cute animals etc. I came here on a rainy day over the weekend and painted a spoon rest. There are many colors to choose from and the people there were pretty helpful in getting me started. An hour later, I was done with my spoon rest. All I had to do was leave it on the table where I painted it, pay and pick it up in a week! wow! You pick, paint, pay, and pick-​up! the four P’s. how creative. =). I cannot wait to see how it comes out!
added bonus: They clean up the mess for you!
