Coffee Break Pottery Art Ceramics

I am a customer of Coffee Break as well as a pottery student. I have taken other less expensive pottery classes but have been unable to get pottery wheel instruction. In a four week class under the instruction of the Coffee Break, I feel confident and I'm enjoying the wheel so much. This is a family owned and operated business. The owners of the coffee break are a wealth of information and are more than happy to share their knowledge. I highly recommend the Coffee Break to anyone venturing into pottery.

1. I hand make ceramic bowls. While traveling home to Ohio, I made 54 bowls and went to the local pottery store, COFFEE BREAK POTTERY paying them to be fired. 2. My parents went to pick up the bowls to ship them to me to paint. The owner of the pottery store stated she would paint them for $2 a piece and ship them. Not too bad, so I agreed. 3. The time frame was for 4 weeks. I dropped them off in April and received the product on June, 29th. 4. The paint was supposed to be white, very simple. The owner said that she was going to use 3 coats of paint. 5. The bowls are off white, yellow, some places two-toned. The bowls have parts of them where there is missing paint. There are other parts of the bowls where there is globs of paint. You can see brush strokes, when they were supposed to be dipped. It looks like my 10 year old cousin painted these, which would be okay but not for a studio owner, who's work is very detailed from what I've witnessed in store. 6. I called with my concern, asking for a resolution of repainting or a refund of some sort for the painting because the bowls are unsellable. The owner informed me that if I didn't like them to repaint them and go have them fired, everyone there loved them. She then hung up on me. I called again, no answer. Began to leave a message, the owner answered the phone and hung up. This happened several times. Sadly, I do not live anywhere near by, so the owner can do this and get away with it. 7. She also informed me that she had my credit card on file, which I never gave her permission to keep on file. She told me this after she had charged my card for the shipping, which I was never informed of a price before or after inquiring how the payment was made.

I have been going to The Coffee Break for so long it's hard to remember how long, Over the years I have bought greenware and bisque, I have had the owner fire my Pices or fired them at home, mostly allowed the owner to fire because I wanted my Pices back in a timely manner. I have always received my ceramics and pots when I was told it would be ready, I have taken classes the owner gives on Wednesday evening and have learned a lot. Whatever I want to learn the owner shows and instructs me in the entire process. I have taken many weeks of pottery and was helped with and explained the entire process of why I had to do something and then how to do it. Both owners have always been patient and understanding, always with a smile. They offer so much, and you will have a good time with whatever you chose to do Just as I have. Thanks, Coffee Break for being here for all of us.

Not so plesent staff, poor communication. This was our first time in and was left to kind of figure it out on our own. The pickup time/date wasn't explained very well.

I have been coming to Coffee Break Ceramics for 15 years. They are a full service ceramic studio which offers classes in ceramics and pottery. They also have a world class art instructor that teaches acrylic and watercolor painting to adults and children. They also host other events such as movie night n girls night out as well as other events. They also do a lot of birthday party events. In all the years I've been going to the studio the owners have been more than gracious and helpful and will bend over backwards to assist you.The unfavorable comment? Well I was there that day and the person came in looking for a fight. I don't know what her problem was but she immediately started arguing with the owner getting into her face to the point where even I (in the other room) was ready to call the police to have her removed. There was absolutely nothing from the owners side that started it.This is a place where I recommend highly for a fun time and a place where friends are made!
