I can’t say enough wonderful things about this painting business! I recently attended their Painting with Kittens event, and it was pure magic from start to finish. The atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and full of laughter—not to mention the adorable kittens roaming around, adding charm and cuddles to every brushstroke.

The staff was incredibly kind and attentive, making sure everyone felt comfortable and had everything they needed. The painting instruction was easy to follow, even for beginners like me, and the kittens? They made everything better. There’s nothing like painting a piece of pottery with a purring fluffball curled in your lap!

It was more than just a painting class—it was a joyful, heartwarming experience that I’ll never forget. I left with a finished piece of art, a full heart, and the biggest smile. I highly recommend this business to anyone looking for a unique, uplifting, and downright adorable way to spend their time!

Really enjoyed the glass making class yesterday. Thank goodness it was outdoors!
The 2 instructors were really nice and patient. We got to do most of the actual making of the item ourselves and I am really pleased with the glass egg I made. It will be red orange and yellow when it cools down

My husband and I attended a wheel throwing class, and we had a great time! Emily was super friendly and a fantastic teacher. Everything was easy to understand and very beginner friendly. We can't wait to come back and try something else they have to offer!

I love The Art Den! I'm a full-time working mom (and business owner) and when I can - I treat myself to an evening of painting pottery there (usually an Art After Dark or Naughty Book Night). The staff is attentive (without being overly so), the vibe is welcoming, and the seating/spacing is cozy and comfortable. When I'm there it's usually for no less than 3 hours and I've never left feeling cramped or achy. I'm often seated next to or across from strangers but I've only ever had pleasant conversations with my table mates. As for the artwork - I've never been disappointed - whenever I go back to pick up a piece after it's been fired in the kiln I've painted I've been very happy with the results. I've brought friends and family along with me and likewise - they only ever have good things to say and always comment that they want to go back. 5 Stars! Definitely go check it out, take from friends, and make something!

The Art Den is a local gem! I have gone to a few workshops here and have absolutely loved them. The instructors are great and the workshops are very reasonably priced. It's a fun place and I would recommend it to anyone!

This is a great little place! I tried to take a pottery/wheel class elsewhere but was unsuccessful. This place is wonderful! Small classes, so the instructor is able to spend as much time as needed with each student. I made two bowls in the first class! So encouraging! Can't wait to do more!

We came for the highland cow pottery event and had a fantastic time. The staff was very knowledgeable and the team that brought the cows was great. Thank you!
