They have a few fun paint options, about 10 colors that fire with speckles in them. They also have stencils, stickers, and a fabric cutout technique that are fun to try, but as a newb I wasn't thrilled on results but had fun making.

"We planned our office retreat at this center this year. Very glad that we made reservation earlier as it got crowded pretty quickly. The regular studio fee is $10/person, but we got 50% off as it was on Tuesday. They have so many different varieties of pieces to pick from, we tried to stay between $12 to $45 items. The atmosphere at the store was nice. And the staff were really helpful and friendly. Highly recommend this place!"
