I took my mom here for Mother’s Day we did the pottery making, the instructor was Dia (the owner) and she was beyond fabulous. She was so patient with us, so friendly, and so helpful! It was my first time so I had 0 skills and she helped me so much. We love our pieces and can’t wait to go back to paint them. Can’t say enough good about this place!

A perfect creative escape!
I had such a wonderful time at this pottery painting studio. It was the kind of experience that makes hours pass without even realizing it—just getting into the flow, chatting, creating, and feeling completely at ease. The space had everything we needed: great supplies, a warm and welcoming atmosphere, and even good music to set the vibe.

What really stood out to me is how accessible and affordable it was—an amazing way to spend an afternoon that isn’t just sitting around or grabbing food. I’m so grateful that Dia, the young owner, has created this space for the community. It’s clear she’s poured a lot of love and thought into making it feel special. Highly recommend!

The owner, Dia, is fantastic. She is really knowledgeable and super friendly. She is great with all customers regardless of age. This place is awesome to come and paint pottery but you can also reserve pottery wheel and other things online, so easy! I love coming to Main Ideas and will always recommend friends and family to come here. Always a great time.

Best atmosphere, I felt immediately welcomed as soon as I stepped inside on my first visit! I have been back multiple times with my girlfriend, we just can’t get enough of this place and the wonderful owner! She is so nice and truly an amazing businesses owner and person. You feel like you’ve known her longer and she treats you like a a close friend. Definitely check out Main Ideas, it is an amazing experience! It’s so easy to stay from opening to closing, I know we have every time we’ve been! Can’t wait to go back again soon ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We have been visiting Main Ideas Pottery Studio since it opened at this location on Main St. My daughter had a weekend pottery and paint birthday party at Main Ideas last year and all the kids had a blast! I go during the week for relaxed painting and recently tried pottery making with friends. It is a peaceful escape from the day-to-day rushing around. Dia is knowledgable, cool, supportive and fun. 100% recommend : )

My husband and I decided to make our Valentine's Day memorable by attending a beginner's pottery wheel class together, and it exceeded our expectations! Dia, the owner and instructor, impressed us with her expertise and patience. She made the experience enjoyable and educational, providing clear guidance that even beginners like us could understand. Highly recommended for a unique and enjoyable date experience!

Dia is hard working with excellent customer service. The place a has a good vibe. Public parking is at the street behind. Wheel throwing is also an option along with pottery painting. Glow in the dark÷canvas painting for birthday parties is cool. 🚻 . 💯% recommend this place for a good family, friends activity.
