This is a great place for a short activity with kids, family, friends, or whoever! They have a large selection of premade ceramics and types of beads. You pay for the type of jewelry or the ceramic piece (prices based mainly on size). Then you get all the supplies needed to make what you chose. This includes beads, tools, paint, and firing of ceramics. Turn around for ceramics is about a week. Color options are really good, and they have writing tips for paint bottles to do details. The bead selection is really good!The only downfall is that the options for ceramics are somewhat lacking for eclectic tastes so using paint in imaginative ways is sometimes the only way to create what you want.Overall a great place though!

This place is great until it comes time to get your items you painted. Irregular hours that change constantly, they won’t call you when your stuff is ready, and you won’t be able to get a hold of anyone, they won’t call you back, so you have to show up and hope they’re open. Then when you finally do get a hold of someone, they don’t seem to care that it took months, they just try to make excuses.

Katie is amazing !!! She is sweet, kind, and helpful. We had a wonderful time painting our ceramics and making memories. The only thing I can suggest is that more adult and seasonal items need to be added. And we need to reestablish Girls Night Out. That was wonderful. Thank you Katie for all your help!!!

Loved our Bisque and Beads experience. I think we all had a great time, I know I did. The staff member that assisted us was very nice. She even printed out some pictures we could trace onto our projects. The price of your visit varies depending on what item you decide to paint. They also have a clearance section (some pieces may be defective) which may also include some seasonal items as well. They also have a bead section where you can make jewelry and such. Since they have to put the finished products through the kiln, I was told our items will be ready for pick up in 7-10 days, cant wait to see them! ...will update when our items are ready.

Such a fun activity! We painted a small ceramic Christmas tree as a date activity and had a great time. They have a big selection of ceramics to choose from and were good about getting back to us when ours was ready to pick up.

Such a fun place to paint some pottery. The lady that owns it, is very helpful. I’m not creative, but she offers to complete pieces for me-often. My children LOVE going there!

Every time I go there the experience is amazing at first. There is tons of options to choose from to paint. The staff is nice and very helpful. I feel that when you leave that’s the where the experience goes down hill. Me & my niece went to paint and they told us to give them about a week. We wait for a phone call, and nothing. It’s been over two weeks and no call so I decide to call them myself. I asked if my items were ready and she says she can’t find one of the items. She isn’t sure if someone may of took it or what. I wasn’t happy to hear that after spending $30 there. I end up going and spend 15-20 minutes waiting for her to finally find it. Overall I think this place needs to try a different way in organizing the products that have been worked on and which ones haven’t.

The workers here did not mandate social distancing or make people wear masks and acted like COVID-19 has completely disappeared. It was very uncomfortable to be in there considering it was very crowded and full of people disregarding the state order to wear a mask.

The owner welcome me when I came into the store. I asked her where her beads were and she showed me. I was hoping for a better selection of beads than what she had. She gave me a tray to put my beads in which was a good idea. The tray had different prices mark in it so it kept my beads separate. It also told her the prices of the beads. The shop is manly set up for painting but I would go back to see if she had any new beads. I would manly go there for painting if I was interested in it though.

The town is doing construction directly outside the front door of Bisque nBeads. So, their hours are irregular and not posted. We started projects and have gone back several times to complete and the place is closed each time. Super frustrating. Also note, there was minimal selection of beads for crafting and most of the bisque we wanted were out of stock.

I needed a custom neckwear repaired. Local jewelry stores said they could send it out and it might be a week or so. My wife mentioned Bisque N Beads as an alternative to the expensive quotes Id been getting. So I stopped in... and walked out with the piece repaired in less than 5 minutes. Id have been delighted to pay twice the price for the courteous and prompt, professional service.
