We were not greeted, and when the manager finally came out from the back, she greeted the four children that I brought with a very stern lesson on the ""rules."" As a past customer, I was hoping for a cheerful greeting and a helpful guidance in choosing the gifts we were to prepare for the holiday season. She firmly informed me that should I assist my 4 year old in his art, then I would be pay an art fee. I had planned on paying, but her condesending attitude was upsetting. The kids were afraid to touch anything and I told them that it wasn't a big deal. I asked her if something had recently changed, or if something was wrong. She immediatelybecame defensive and began raising her voice in front of the entire place and told me to leave if I wasn't happy. I called my husband asked if there was another place in the area that I could do pottery...she overheard me and let me and the rest of the place know that there was no other place around and since I had a negative attitude I needed to leave anyway. \r
The kids were stunned...they didn't understand what THEY did wrong. \r
Save your money people....or head to Waterford Lakes.... I ended up at a place called PAINTED BY HUE.... where there were polite workers who were more than willing to help us choose our project and better yet, it was obvious that they were comfortable with children...they were very encouraging and helpful....a welcome change after getting all fired up at all fired up.
