Read More On Citysearch by michellecnyc at Citysearch 11/5/2010 - NOT ONLY FOR KIDS
I came here with my girlfriends one day, just so we would have something to do on a rainy day. Well, let me tell you this was the most fun I have had in a while. The staff was beyond friendly and accomidating, and they made us feel right at home. On top of it all I walked away with a beautiful mug that I get to drink my coffee out of every morning. This is a great place to come if you're in n...
Read More On Citysearch sgnyc 1/26/2009 - great spot for an afternoon with the kidsMy kids just loved this place! We spent several fun-filled hours one Saturday afternoon doing crafts together. It was a great way to spend time with the kids. My daughter loved the beading and jewelry- making area and my son got to create a plaque for his room representing his beloved Yankees! They can't wait to go back for more. I was very pleased with how the environment sparked their cre...

I can't say enough good things about this place. Immediately my son and I felt at home. After having been to other painting craft shops in the City , the Little Shop concept of no charge for paint time, stay as long as you like, was like...
Read More On Citysearch yougottalovethecity 10/22/2008 - An Oasis for Young and OldI first brought my mother and 5-year-old son to this delightful studio. All three of us had a ball choosing our projects and spending a blissful and creative afternoon together. The staff were just great; helpful while also respecting our space. I recently brought my son back with a friend and I plan to have his 6th birthday party there this November. Thanks to all the staff and most of all to H...

Terrific place, which I haven't taken advantage of yet, for parties. It would make a great venue for a kid's party or for a shower (bridal or baby) with whatever theme you come up with.

The first time I stopped by was just to see if this was a place where I could bring the little boy that I care for there. The staff was very friendly and informative. I came back later that day and they helped us pick out a suitable piece and explained what we were to do, along with where all the s...
Read More On Citysearch starynite 8/17/2007 - Helpful staff, friendly atmosphere, a great value!I have tried many of the creative studios in NYC and this is by far the best! Not only were there many crafts to choose from but the staff was more than helpful. They helped me pick out colors that worked well together on my vase and even showed me examples of techniques that were easy to do and stunning to see. Since there was no charge for time I didn't feel the pressure to get my project do...
Read More On Citysearch get_creative 7/13/2007 - not very accommodatingVery disappointed with this place. Came from far away (drove 1 and 1/2 hour) to take my kids, then was told they don't take kids after 6 or 6:30 (can't remember which one it was, but we came in just a few minutes past. We saw a child leaving with her mother when we came in). Very disappointed as the kids were looking forward to making something for their mother (for mother's day), and didn't unde...
Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 5/16/2007 - children aren't welcome after 6:00--no exceptions!My husband thought this would be a perfect place to bring my children to make a mother's day present for me. He looked at the website and called to make sure it would be open since it would be a trek for my 4 and 5 year old from Long Island. Nowhere on the website did they say there are no children after 6:00! Even when he called to make sure they take walk-ins, they did not mention that children...
Read More On Citysearch telemommy 5/14/2007 - Fun PlaceI filmed the commercial at this fun place, and the people that happened to be there that evening were having an absolute ball.
For something really new to do in New York, I would say this is the ticket.
Hope you all drop in there.

Read More On Citysearch peterbucknell 5/10/2007 - good clean funThe people are lovely, the pottery is adorable, it's an overall fun time. I went with my coworkers and we had great fun, most people went for the chip & dip holder, practical and fun! I made a vase, a mug and a ducky piggy bank. Very reasonably priced and the atmosphere makes you feel like a kid again - until you get your product back and it's gorgeous. love this place
Read More On Citysearch danibelle 5/1/2007 - Little Shop is a little jewel!I have to say that the Little Shop is the little jewel of New York City! Nestled in a nice, residential part of New York, this is the best place for craft projects! You can wander in and all you have to buy are the products itself. So, if you want to do a mosaic jewellery box, you only have to buy the box and they will supply you with all the tiles, glue and grout you need to complete the project...

It is nestled in a nice, quiet residential part of the Upper East side. I have been going there for about a month now, once a week. It is a great stress release and so enjoyable. ...

This place is really cool!! They have tons of different things to paint from mugs and plates to figurines. I had a wonderful time and they served us wine too! I kind of got tired of hearing the same songs being played but thats about it. Great for kids and parents to do together.

Read More On Citysearch trojanchick 10/27/2006 - Makes rainy days a blastI've had several parties at this place for my two girls and invited boys and girls from 2-16. Just fun all the time. Went today with the girls and had a great time again. The staff (Joy) are wonderful. My only complaint that people not bring kids if they aren't going to work on a piece. It wasnt fun watching two little boys chase each other under the table.

All it takes is a little creation and you have a great gift for anyone. The time is spent thinking of nothing but your creation and not of any troubles. I can not recommend this place nay more than this. And if you sign up for their newsletters, they send you coupons so your saving money on something that is alre...

Read More On Citysearch by Shannon R. at Judy's Book 1/12/2006 - Want to feel creative?Littel Shop of Plaster and Pottery (I think they also go by LittleShop of Crafts) is a great jewel on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. I love to take the kids here, especailly ona rainy day. You pick out a pre made plaster mold and paint away. you do not pay by the time, you pay by the piece, so you can take as long as you want - and as a parental bonus- the kids can be as messy as they need to...

They offer a huge selection of plastercraft, pottery, mosaics, chairs, tables, mirrors, frames, and more. There is something here for all ages. They also offer classes for both children and adults. These items make great gifts. You can also get a gift certificate here. The staff here are very friendly and helpful. The prices are great too. I highly re...
Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 10/27/2005 - Little Shop of CraftsThis is a great place in the city, where all the artsy folk can design their own pottery, beading, mosaics, etc at a reasonable price. There is no time limit on making the pieces, the staff is very helpful, and the atmosphere/vibe of the place is great. It's a great thing to do with friends, while chatting and catching up on each other's lives.

I called 8/12 and was told that they were short staffed couldn't empty the kiln. I was in NJ so I called 8/13 and told they were ready. I trekked into the city and when I got there they only 2 of the pieces were ready. The third piece had not made it into the kiln. I was beyond upset, my friend's birthday was 8/14 and...

Read More On Citysearch by Mahendra V. at Judy's Book 8/6/2005 - get a group and goIf you're looking for reason to spend some quality time with friends in an unhurried and unique way. I highly reccomend that you pay a visit. Our host Sam was polite, sociable, helpful and funny. It was nice to have him around for the more creatively challenged of us who really could not know where to begin. There was a wide range of reasonably priced materials and accesories to choose from so...
Read More On Citysearch seaberrl 5/14/2004 - Mango Maven does pottery!The variety here is fantastic! You have your choice of painting pre-made pottery pieces (ranging from large platters to small bowls and pencil holders), plaster figurines, and wood and glass pieces. The shop is equipped with all the appropriate paints for the different types of items they have. They also have a few "extras" for the more creative types - puffy stickers, shells, and google-eyes ...
Read More On Citysearch mango_maven 11/29/2003 - Pick it, paint it and come out...with at least a conversation piece. After looking at a few choices, this place seemed the most appealing because it did not charge for painting time. Some places charge a "nominal fee" per half or whole hour, which can start to add up if you become as involved in your projects as we did. (Our actual paint time would have added another additional $40 to our pottery tab.) It can be overwhelming on ...
