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 traveled from Maine to Boston for the day and decided to try something different and came across Expressive Pottery Painting. We arrived on time and was seated by a gentleman. Picked two mugs and paint colors. Whole time we were left to paint. We did not meet Allie, the instructor. The music was somewhat odd and was controlled by the gentleman. Experience was not what we expected. It was not worth the price and traveling. It's disappointing to leave such review.

I had such an amazing time in Boston, but what made my birthday special coming to rainbow pottery studio. I love that everyone was so welcoming and sweet the music you definitely will catch a vibe from R&B to jazz to pop. The studio also offered champagne and assortment of wine to indulge wile you bring your inner artistic touch to your pieces. Unfortunately I couldn't pick up our pieces but the owner expressed that it wasn't a problem and she would shipped our pieces to us. Mind you were in Maryland so thank you thank you this place is a must.

Had the best time! A little pricy, but a great selection! The staff was super friendly, and there were so many fun things! Can't wait to pick up my measuring cups this weekend!!
