Apparently this place isn't open anymore, which I found out by driving all the way here. Hoping to save someone else the trouble

This is definitely the best "paint your own pottery" spot I've ever been to. Several weeks ago I was in the midst of a 'self-care day' driving past the strip mall where this is and I decided to stop on a whim. I painted a large cappuccino mug, which cost less than $18 for the piece and to paint/kiln-fire. I really appreciate that there is no limit to the paints you use and the station is set up to help yourself. Joe's instructions were clear and he was quick about switching out water and asking if any help was needed. Several years ago, I had my bridal shower here and it was an awesome experience - we got to all do an activity together, and all the pieces were my "gifts" for stocking up a kitchen with my hubs. The staff were very accommodating - we got to bring in our own food and drinks - and the space was perfect. I stopped in another similar paint-your-own spot this past weekend and was surprised at how much higher their prices were AND that there was a limit to paint and colors. Though I live in Milwaukee, I'll happily head out to Waukesha to Touch of Glaze to make a gift or a new piece for my own home.

This review is based on the birthday party we had here for our daughter. We reserved a party here and overall it was nice. They gave us the option to have a bowl or plate for the party. We reserved and paid for the 11 girls and they had a large table in back to separate us from the rest of the people. They had an instructor to guide and give advice to the girls and provided all the paints. Since we had 10 or more at this party, we had the option to have a percentage taken off the bill or a birthday plate (all attendees signed the plate). We optioned for the plate. I thought it was very reasonable ($10 per person) for this party. We were able to bring in our own food as well. The party was for two hours and we found this was just barely enough time to do the bowls, eat some food and then we decided to open presents at our house. Nice staff and accommodating, but we wish there was a bit better communication on what time to arrive and perhaps just 30 minutes more for the party. I don't know if that is an option to extend the party. I can say, the girls really enjoyed their time there and it was relaxing for the parents. Overall, I'd recommend, and we will probably come back to do this with our kids for something to do.

Birthday party "host" was not present to assist with most of the party. Furthermore, upon picking up the finished items, one item was missing and so one party attendee did not receive his finished project. Super sad that they couldn't offer a replacement or find it.

I'm a mentor with big brothers/big sisters and I took my little there for a couple hours. We had a blast, cool chill atmosphere and super friendly staff. Will be coming back

I love this place! They don't jack prices up for the amount of glaze you use, they will try to help you with your design if you have questions, and they do the dishes! What more could you ask for? They have a lot of different things to glaze, from little figurines to mugs, plates, canisters, and seasonal items. Prices are reasonable, considering the marked price is what you pay, plus tax of course. This is a great way to spend a day! My only complaint is that I wish they had longer hours!! No worries though, if you don't have time to finish your masterpiece, they will hang onto it so you can come back and finish later!

This is hands down the best place I've found. I tried a different place after going here because I live in Menomonee Falls and wanted to try local and I was so let down... After the service and help I received at A Touch of Glaze, no where else compares. Joe was very nice and helpful! The finished product turns out great, and if you don't love it they will let you make touch ups, and re fire it. I highly recommend them!!

So disappointing! We miss the trays to separate colors. The tiles did not work at all! Also, on a busy day, only one of each color paint is not acceptable. And people kept taking bottles to the tables . It was obnoxious tracking down our colors every time we needed more paint. On top of that , when one color ran out, that was it. The selection of items to paint was minimal. Kind of strange to have Xmas and Halloween items out in March. We used to love touch of glaze . At this point, I dont plan on returning!

This was a really disappointing experience. This used to be a really fun and professional place to paint pottery and receive a quality outcome. In late March my kids painted a plate for their grandmother and there was quite a bit of white space as a result. When I picked up the piece, they did not apply any glaze on the white areas of the plate! You could see hairs from a brush where someone had brushed some glaze over my kids' handprints. But no glaze anywhere else, just the raw ceramic. And the hairs were not there when I gave them the plate to fire. They looked me straight in the eye and said oh this was the glaze that they received in their order! If they tried to fix it the plate would crack, etc. I took it to another great paint your own pottery studio in Waukesha and she applied the appropriate glaze and low fired the plate...turned out awesome! I recommend going somewhere else if they reopen. The previous ownership is definitely missed.
