It’s been awhile since I have worked here, it was my first job ever, looking back at the job made me realize just how awful that place really was! We weren’t allowed to talk to each other, we weren’t even allowed to eat. When my family showed up to paint… I wasn’t allowed to talk to them. When you have no idea how a workplace is supposed to run, it’s easy to not see any red flags 🚩. After working my way up to management and at multiple jobs it really makes me wonder just how miserable the owner might be.. (Debbie). If you’re coming here to paint, sure! If you think this might be a good place to work… you should go literally anywhere else. I look forward to seeing a response from the owner! Debbie, you should be very grateful you don’t have reputation on Glassdoor, it would make a drastic impact at your company, sweetie.REPLY TO OWNER: The way you are handling this is very unprofessional of you. But that sounds about right for you guys. Again we weren’t allowed to talk to each other or even eat, when you work open to close 😂 they even made me make, and serve someone a coffee. When I didn’t even know how to use the equipment. Then refused to train me, and yelled at me when I asked to be trained. No I will not be taking down my review. Especially because you asked me to. That right there, just goes to show that y’all have a lot to hide. I was threatened to be fired before, because my family wanted to come in and check it out, and paint once. Please kindly do better. Especially when y’all are supposed to be “Christian owned” y’all should be nicer to the people who choose to work that job for you.

We have been going to PG&F for Christmas time for years, have done a number of birthdays there as well. We have also done some of the summer camps and single day events. Which is just to say... There are lots of things you can do here.Painting, by itself, is more than worth the fee. Relaxing and enjoyable, without getting anything out of it. Then your get to keep the stuff you painted, and no matter what your skill level, having something that you created feels good.The staff is super nice and helpful, never had a bad experience. Do yourself a favor and stop by sometime, you dont be sorry.

We went here for the first time for the story time/painting class they have every other Friday. My daughter is 3 and it was a fun and affordable activity for us to do! She loved it and I loved that they have the coffee bar/smoothies - coffee was tasty! Staff was friendly also. We will definitely be back!

Very nice experience! The owners are very friendly! Very wide selection of ceramics!We hosted my daughter’s birthday there and it was so much fun! We will come back for sure :)

Employee’s didn’t really care, said they had glass over the phone, but actually didn’t when we got there and said they were “getting rid of it.” Would have been nice of them to say that on the phone. Would have found another place to do glass.

This was one of the first places my husband and I visited on our little trip to KC. We loved it and had a blast. We cant wait to get our fired pieces back!

I attended the Paint & Story with my two and a half year old. Great experience! Yummy drinks, offered kids snacks, cute story, fun project. Definitely would recommend!

The ladies here were amazing! I brought my 4 kids here to make sculptures using clay. Paint Glaze & Fire not only provided the materials, but also have us instruction. They went above and beyond to help us learn techniques that I as a homeschooling mom did not know. The price was reasonable & we had so much fun!! We cant recommend them enough!

Super friendly staff. Great drinks. My kids love the freedom and creativity they can have here.

I love this place! Staff is super friendly, it’s relaxing and a fun place for a parent to take the kids, or go alone and do something creative you can display in your home. The mocha coffee is delicious. While I was painting many people would stop in just for the coffee!

Wonderful time. Staff very friendly and helpful

Always fun. Definitely set aside a day for it !!

I had the BEST time today painting and sipping on an Americano! I asked my good friend to be my bridesmaid here - it was the perfect place to paint and wedding plan! The owner is fantastic and I will definitely be going again and again and again. :)

Great for children and families to artistically express themselves. It can be a bit pricey for some of the ceramics, great bonding time. Although you can walk in I strongly suggest reserving a table. It can get pretty busy fast and you will have to wait on a table to become available, which could take a few hours.

This place is so much fun! Smile

We’ve always had a great time at Paint, Glaze, and Fire, but we won’t be going back until at least after the pandemic is over. My son and I were there in the middle of painting with 3 other tables of 2 all wearing masks when a party of 10 walked in with only 1/2 wearing masks and none of them over their nose. I asked one of the staff about our options since we had already started ours and they weren’t enforcing the mask mandate that they have posted and basically we were given the option of Sunday morning or Wednesday and not one of the staff asked the large party to wear their masks appropriately. This large party walked around to decide on pottery and then stood next to our table deciding on paint with either no masks or masks on their chin (gross!). Not only are they putting other customers at risk, but also their staff. It was handled very poorly.

Super fun! You choose a piece to paint and they glaze it for you. They say the average is $12, but that is for very small items. Mugs are $12-$18 and plates were $22+. We spent about 2 1/2 hours there and it takes a couple of weeks to get it back. Recommend it for a fun dayr or family day!

They were very friendly and helpful. The precautions taken for Covid-19 appeared to be appropriate and well thought out.

I had a great time with my daughters! They loved painting their pieces and slurping down yummy smoothies. The atmosphere was great, the staff were helpful and very kind, and the process was quick! I definitely recommend for kids and adults. Very fun!

Lovely shop! I was able to take my time and paint a chip and salsa platter. The firing turnaround time was quick. Pricing is fair, shop is a little small.

It was fun i would go agian

We showed up for our double date that we called and made a reservation over 2 weeks ago and was immediately turned away. The place was COMPLETELY empty and the person behind the counter just kept repeating that they didn’t have anyone on their reservations and that they were closing early. We arrived at 6 pm and they even stated that they close at 8 pm. We told them we drove over 45 minutes to be here and that we were really excited about it. Both employees were very dismissive and rude. Will definitely look for a more friendly and reasonable business.

My sister & mom came in for a girls day, and we chose to try PG&F out. What a gem of a ceramic studio! We had a great time! Even though they were busy and working a birthday party as well, their young staff members were very attentive and helpful. We enjoyed a couple of delicious smoothies while we finished our pieces. This is definitely a place we will revisit and I also look forward to taking my kids to make their own pieces! Thanks for a fun experience!

Awesome experience and super fun for the family!

I’ve been to several pottery places from Kansas to colorado where I grew up and I love doing it. this place really threw me off when it came to doing it for fun as a young adult. I asked basic questions but one question I asked was about having a sponge to wet my pieces but they didn’t like the idea of that because the paint was “thin enough” So I decide to not wet My piece only to find out the paints were normal glazed paint and not watered down or thinned and I struggled because wetting it down helps the paint settle and it glides over smoothly, the girl did get a sponge for me when I asked but she said it was only used for special designs and hardly got it wet so I went back to wet it. They also Told me you absolutely have to do three coats, three coats to me is the darkest pigment you can get with it the more coats the darker it will turn out. I know every place is different I just wanna know I’m not getting ripped off or not able to do the work to my best ability because I go in there hoping to learn new things and try them out. also I did some research on where you order the pottery off of and they are definitely over pricing you with throwing in kennel fee they are making enough money off of the coffee and the work on the shelves that it made me upset that I paid almost $80.00 for 3 pieces of art when I’ve gone to others and done 6 for $100.00 and they weren’t small pieces. Over all there is good I think it’s a very swell place and it’s a great idea with the coffee was amazing and it was there own style. I enjoyed the experience and for it not having a lot of instructions I think it’s good for younger kids who tend to do stuff really quickly and move on to the next thing it’s a very in and out store. It was clean comfortable. They had very generous workers specially if something was broke by accident. I enjoyed my experience and always glad I tried it.

Love this place. The staff are wonderful and the pottery selection is always fantastic. They have a good drink selection as well and they sometimes serve the hot drinks in painted mugs.

Very novel idea and good service

The place was definitely over priced. There were lots of paint options and supplies. The staff was friendly but they are a bit disorganized. While painting, there were two customers that came in and the staff took a while to find their pieces. In addition, I did not receive a call telling me my piece was ready. Instead I had to call them and inquire.

I love coming here with my kids. Even in their teens they enjoy it. Fun and relaxing easy to spend a few hours. Pretty great drinks there, too

We have been to PG&F several times now. We always have such a fun time. My son loves painting there and I love the drinks from their coffee house. A great combo for any parent! I also love their free baby hand of foot print program. It is a great keepsake and such a wonderful thing for them to offer. I highly recommend them if you are wanting to paint pottery or just looking for a fun indoor activity.

Simply did not have the product I needed.

Friendly atmosphere ! This week Mothers and Kids coming in to do special Fathers Days Gifts! Grill Masters! And King of the Grill ! Top two favorite! Best part the interaction with babies, toddlers, young and older kids helping create a special gift for dads! Always ready to help with hand or foot prints !!! Five Stars for all the wonderful customers who bless us with helping create memories that will last for yours to come !!! Happy Fathers Day!!!! Side note : we just love talking to the kids and getting those tiny toes and hands .

A wonderful experience. Lots of fun for kids and adults. Coffee wasnt great and expect it to be busy when school is out.

It was a lot of fun. Plan for at least two hours if you do glass fusion and make sure you call ahead! Studio fees are 1/2 price M-T. The staff were friendly and helpful. We will be back!

Its best to make a reservation but sometimes they can squeeze inn. Really nice staff, my daughter broke 2 pieces and they didnt charge me for them which was a relief and super sweet. They have coffee and snacks. Santa made a cameo, that was cute to see my daughter and all the kiddos talk with Santa. Overall a nice little place to be creative!!!

Wow, this place is amazing and very affordable. I took my 5 and 1 yr old boys there to paint a canvas for their Moms Valentines Day gift. She is in love with it. A special thanks to Debbie for being so helpful while there and for the great communication and suggestions through email prior to our visit. Thanks again, and well be returning FOR SURE!Mike B (OP, KS)

Had a great deal of fun painting pottery with my family

It was a fun activity but takes a while

Very nice variety of ceramics and paints to choose from. Friendly Staff

Staff doesnt really care if anyone is in. Doesnt enforce mask wearing either.

If you take kids here, make sure theyre old enough to be very gentle and navigate a small space with lots of breakable objects around. The cheapest thing to paint is $5 plus the sitting fee. There is nothing unbreakable for a toddler to paint or any area set aside for little kids to explore more freely with paint. For our needs, this was terrible. But if you want a quiet place to drink coffee and paint something pretty for hours, thats the goal of this place.

A nice young lady helped us on our first visit here. She was very helpful and sweet and thats why I have two stars for her. Other than that it was way over priced and not a whole lot of options in paint basic colors no golds or silvers and to top it all off there wasnt really a whole lot to ceramic pieces to pick from  nor worth the price.

I thought the staff was very kind and understood I was there for a relaxing time. They were helpful, but not pushy. Very nice place to go. The coffee is a great perk!

Very fun :) great service and you only have to be a kid at heart to enjoy yourself! I will definately go back and enjoy painting again and again in the future! I have already thought up other opportunities to go :) This place is a gem!!

Friendly staff and reasonable prices for custom creations. Fun for all ages...

The staff were nice and helpful. We had a great time!

Small with a nice atmosphere. Very chill. There is a wide variety of premade pottery to paint ranging from your traditional mugs and bowls to dragon statues, Xbox controllers, and pineapple salt and pepper shakers (why not?). They also have tiles with all of the colors post-kiln so you can see what each color will end up looking like before you select it.The glazing and firing is done by the staff and it takes about a week and a half to 2 weeks after you finish to receive your piece.The staff is very helpful and assisted me with babys footprints on a Fathers day mugs (great for Mothers/ Fathers day gift ideas).They also offer drinks and snacks of which I did not partake, but I noticed there are vegan Alternate Baking Co. cookies at this place.

We showed up at 4pm today, having no idea that we should make ‘reservations’. I would bet 3 of the 10 tables were the only ones being used. I was told that due to people coming with reservations, they couldn’t take us today. Wow- okay. But then someone finishing up offered the cashier for us to take their reservation which was until 5:45. Which was 1 hr and 45 mins left. They were told no.We were given a voucher for a free studio fee to come back another time.My husband showed up 20 minutes later because he was supposed to meet us there and didn’t get my message. He sat there for 15 more minutes. He said there was hardly anyone there.Seems to me that they are turning away customers when it’s unnecessary.I’ll go to the local competitor- I’ve never had this issue there and they are much more friendly.

Ladies working there were super nice, great environment. Already want to come back

Wonderful cute place. My daughter has autism and sometimes has a hard time in public places. The staff was wonderful, especially Nancy who made us feel comfortable there. I know as a special needs mom that its hard to find places that are friendly to the community. We will definitely be back.

Freshly painted store and renovated bathroom. The employees are friendly and the environment is cozy. Years later and the store is still 5/5. Wonderful place!

Ceramics and paint supplies provided were good and our kids enjoyed painting a ceramic animal. The main problem we had was in regards to seating. We went for a paint event pre-registered through BVREC and they did not have any reserved seating atleast for kids registered for the event. We had to wait almost 30mins to find seating for the kids and many of the parents had to remain standing for over an hour as they were already busy and full with their regular customer flow. They should plan for an event in a better fashion by reserving seats ahead and putting up a board to let regular customers know about the event to prepare everyone accordingly. If you plan on dropping in, call ahead and make sure they are not too busy so that you can sit with your kids and enjoy the visit. Staff were very friendly and accomodating.

Great fun for families or just relaxing with paint and coffee! I love their special events.

My son and I had so much fun here. We made great keepsakes and memories during his radiation treatments. We will go back and make more!

Great place! Lots of pieces to pick from, however a little pricey depending on what you want to do. Very unique activity that is also fun. Plus the drinks are delicious!

Well spaced out great seating and coffee bar was cute

Was a very pleasant experience. Everyone there is super nice and helpful. The prices are very reasonable.

Staff was so nice. The shop had great options and an amazing atmosphere!

First time today! It was Amazing and staff was informative and very nice! Cant wait to go back and take my kids!

So much fun grate for kids and adults!

Super fun. All the family painted.

I took my granddaughter it was our first time it was greatThey were so kind and very helpful. I will be bringing another grandchild. Thank You.

Had an amazing time with my family! Very friendly and helpful staff, I tried fusion glass for the first time and they helped me through out the process! I wish I could give 6 stars 100%!

Cool idea and great for kids, families, or even couples. Small place, but they make it work

I love to make projects here

Had a party for my daughter and her friends when she visited shortly before Christmas since we moved away. They were organized, friendly, and even rushed the order so we could get it glazed before leaving town. They had a great time.

Its fun to paint and all, but $58 for a gnome and a monkey was a shock.

Extremely disappointed in this place. I took 5 kids here for a birthday party, spent over $200 and Unfortunately we had a house fire so I decided to wait to pick up the items. I received ONE call that they were ready never a second call to tell me they had to be picked up or they would be discarded. Sure it is in the small print that is almost illegible when you sign the receipt but I would think they could call at least a second time to remind you to pick them up. Will never return again.

Loved it!! The employees were nice and very helpful. A little expensive but it was fun !!

We had my daughters birthday party here. Love this place and the staff!

Very helpful for a kids birthday party.

It was expensive. I knew it was going to be bad, but I didnt expect to spend $20 on a figurine I could have bought at Michaels for less than $5. Plus, we didnt get to walk out with our items. We had to wait a week. Its really crowded in the whole store ie its hard to look at items to paint when there are people sitting at tables. Plus, the area the paints are stored is very small - its only comfortable for a max of three people to be looking at colors at once. The Clay Cafe at the Great Plains Mall was 10x better. I wont be going back to Paint Glaze and Fire unless I find a really good coupon.

Great place to make mothers day gift with children

Family fun night was epic! Kids had a blast

Great way to spend a rainy day.

I came with a group of my friends, most first timers to a place like this. We had a blast!

Best ceramics shop in the KC metro. Fun staff and great selection of items to paint

Customer service was amazing!!

Excellent

Great place time consuming and expensive but great

The ladies at Paint, Glaze & Fire were super helpful, super friendly, and the drinks were delicious.

Great people nice atmosphere

Painted a cup and will pick it up when fired.

Had a great time.

Great outing with my teenage daughter

We always love coming here!!

Wonderful, great time

Decent idea for a business, but fairly overpriced.

The instructor was very patient with eight 8 year old girls!

Staff was so helpful, Great fun!!

Best painting place in olathe

Great place to be artistic

We love Paint Glaze and Fire!

Casual atmosphere.

Nice atmosphere!
