We had the BEST time here!! When we walked in, we were greeted right away. The gal working gave us clear instructions and was there to help every single step of the way if we had any questions. The environment is so fun and relaxed. I didn't feel rushed. It was just a calm, fun afternoon. And the selection of pieces to paint is HUGE! A lot of places just have plates, cups, bowls, and some tiles. But this place has so much more!!! A monster, penguin, salt and pepper shakers, cactus mug, narwhal, you name it! There were so many options. And they have stuff for small projects or bigger projects. Something for every price range. They also have take home kits, which sound awesome. Overall, such a good experience. It was a very fun, family-friendly activity. We will definitely be back!!

Pro tip: Bring water! I didn't realize how long it would take to paint (my fault) and wish I had a water bottle with me.The good:Awesome and helpful staff, lots of objects to choose from and lots of colors to pick. The place was packed when I went and I was still able to get all the colors and tools I wanted for my project. From the start, I wanted to do a bit of splatter on my piece but didn't realize until I finished my base layer that I had no idea how I was going to do it. Found out they had a whole splatter room and I had so much fun in it. The staff was open to questions and super helpful the whole time.The bad:I don't have much to say about bad. My main complaint is that they need a bigger store. When I went, the place was packed. It was really hard to navigate between tables to get paints and to get ahold of the staff. But that's being nitpicky as I had such a great time. My second complaint is that I wish the tables were bigger and sturdier as well as the chairs sturdier. I kinda felt like the whole time I had to be aware of people trying to get by and being careful not to bump the table as it would mess up my friend's projects. It would have been nice to have a bigger workspace too. Overall I felt cramped, but with a bigger location, larger and sturdier tables and chairs I would have had a 10/10 experience.Overall: Awesome staff and super fun. I will continue to come back without a doubt. Don't let my negative points stop you from going!

Great experience, fun atmosphere & friendly staff made it a good time. Reasonably priced too. I recommend trying the ceramic glaze for a bit more money & go with a simple design to start.

I also like the music they play - it's not overly loud or crazy and helps fule creativity. Good choices all around! I am so happy this place is here!

This is the best place ever!! The staff is so friendly and helpful they recently changed owners and the new owner Abby is the sweetest. Great place to bring the kids or plan a team building event for work. They've got a great selection of things to pick from and I was surprised of the price too. Very affordable craft! My new favorite place.

The staff were absolutely amazing! The splatter painting party was the best birthday I have had for any of my four kids, it was entertaining, organized, creative, and what a great memory!!!! Can’t wait for the next time!

I can't say enough good things: this is probably my favorite place to come on my day off and just be creative or to bring a friend and have a fun few hours together! I've made all sorts of gifts and the staff has been so friendly and helpful! The projects turn out great and have been treasured by those who receive them!

Clay Your Way has quickly turned into one of my favorite creative outlets & places for quality time with friends and my daughter! I look for something functional to paint and my daughter finds something cute!The ladies there have always been so helpful as we got started and as we got more creative!We highly recommend them for alone time, family time, friend time, creative time.. any reason you could think up!

My daughter wanted to come here when we came up to visit her. The place was clean, well organized and friendly atmosphere. Basically you pick out the clay art that you want to paint, choose your paint colors along with any tools or stencils to create your piece. The ladies that work there are helpful, friendly, talented and professional. Whatever the price of the clay piece is plus 1/2 of that is the price you pay (the 1/2 covers the supplies and tools used and kiln costs). For example - if your piece is $20 half of that is $10 therefore you piece would cost a total of $30. Pieces are ready for pickup in a week.My daughter says she will be back as she found it very enjoyable and fun. Plus she likes to be creative.No reservations are required- majority of business is walk-ins. While we were there many couples came in - makes a great date night.

I love clay your way and have since I was young. My fiancé surprised me this year with a painting date for our anniversary. We would always recommend this place. They are fast with getting your pieces back too and always have a great selection.

We always have such a fun time when we go to Clay Your Way! The staff is super helpful and friendly, and it’s a great place for little kids to have fun and be creative. We hosted our daughters 7th birthday party here as well recently, and it was a great price for the room and time you get. All the kids loved it and I loved how stress-free of a party it was!

Always love going here for something different and fun to do. I've been going here for years and even as an adult me and my husband go here for dates. The employees are super nice and the selection is always so cute and changes with the seasons/holidays. Highly recommend!!

I remember going to clay your way when I was a little girl & loving it so much. I picked out a kitten piggy bank and painted it blue, yellow & green 😅 Not my best work but I have been wanting to go back, redeem myself and just have fun & be creative. Will definitely have to make my way back there because I remember loving it.

They don't have a place like this in Bismarck. This is something we do as a family outing in fargo

I am literally OBSESSED with this place! Definitely where I come to decompress (as the painting is extremely stress-relieving and cathartic in a way). My husband come and paint just about monthly and couldn’t think higher of the staff and the quality of the products. Such a variety!

My sister in law and I took our 4 girls into clay your way. We were all so excited but we'd never been there so we had no idea what to do. There were a few other people in there working on projects and the lady that works there was also working on a project alone. She never came and told us what to do, so we had to ask her. She was very short and rude with us and once we picked out our items we waited for her to tell us what to do next and she just kept working on her own project. I kept having to ask her what to do next, since again, we've never been there. It was very frustrating constantly having to ask her what we should do when there should be directions clearly written somewhere or the staff should be more friendly. After paying for our items we were told she wouldn't be calling us that we needed to pick it up in "about a week". I am a very busy person and I find it odd that they take your name and phone number, but once your stuff is finished they don't call you. I called on a Thursday and their hours clearly state they're open from 11 am to 8 pm. I wanted to double check that my items were finished and when I told her what time I'd be there to pick them up around 7:40 she told me they were closing at 7 since no one was there to paint. The entire experience here was very disappointing and sadly I won't bring my family back.

I have taken my daughter to Clay Your Way for Mommy Daughter time twice and we had a blast both times! My daughter liked that she could paint all over her project and use all the colors she wanted. I am looking forward to doing it again next year! they have neat item and the staff was very informative on your first visit to let us know how everything works!

My youngest granddaughter (11 years) and I went there for a girls day. An enjoyable place to be and to release a little stress by painting. It is a rather spendy outing though. Will still do it again.

We had a good time painting pottery for my sister's bridal party. Problem was that when you are painting and talking, you lose track of time. Instead of coming to let us know that it was almost time for our time to be over, they wanted until 15 minutes after to come tell us that the next party was there waiting so we had to rush to leave. One person didn't even get to finish her project :(

Charged an arbitrary amount ($56) that didn't calculate based on the price tags and (unstated) firing fees, and didn't bother to provide an itemized invoice, only a handwritten slip of paper. This was for a mug, a teeny penguin, and a small nut/candy bowl.Pottery returned had flecks of another color I hadn't used here and there.
