Great shop and experience. Allie was not only kind but very interactive and the studio was extremely nice! Helped along the way but gave us our personal space to enjoy our date night. I would definitely go back and suggest Rainbows as a place to go and express your artistic side. Thanks Allie and classpop!!!

We had a great time during our pottery class! The instructions were easy to follow and so helpful considering wheel throwing can be challenging. Our instructor was so engaging and we had a ton of fun painting our bowl and cup!!! Would absolutely recommend this for a date night!
