    we enjoyed the whole experience though the food was not that great, and the menu was a little limited but overall, i would go again

    We were not told when / how we will be notified to collect our works of art once it is has been fired. When we were finished and ready to leave I found that the staff were very unorganised about taking note of our works with photo and number identification. Hopefully we will get notification when it's ready. It was a pleasant venue.
