The Art Garage

We celebrated our 5 yo’s birthday by painting pottery. The kids had so much fun! The party host, Rebecca, was very good with the kids, super patient, and helped to keep the party on track so I could relax and enjoy. Definitely recommend for parties or just a fun day out!

We had a birthday party here recently for our 10 year old and were blown away by the fantastic experience. They painted her name on a giant chalkboard and had everything set up for the kids to cut, design and melt glass. Every detail was considered, even how they packaged the final melted pieces. 100% recommend!

Absolutely amazing. The employees were exceptionally kind. Shout out to Lydia for being so patient and wonderful with my young children. My daughters (6, 4, and 3) had so much fun painting pottery. We will definitely be back. What an incredible establishment!

Just picked up the nightlights my wife and kids made. They're great, but I really wish I wasn't in HEB right now having to make a special trip to find 4w bulbs so my kids can plug them in when we get home after the anticipation of waiting a week to pick them up... I would think if you spend $80 crafting two night lights that they would actually give you the bulbs. I know lamps don't typically come with bulbs, but this is a crafting place for kids, and Amazon gives you the bulbs when you buy modules just like this.

We’ve attended a birthday and another event at The Art Garage a few years ago. When I saw them “donate” a birthday party package at a title 1 school, I bid on it. I paid close to $200 for what was advertised as a $300 package value. When I received it in late May 2024, I emailed the owner to ask if I could use it in spring of 2025 (that’s when both of my girls birthdays are) since there was an expiration date of 12-31-24. She said, “That would be just fine! :)” I even specified the months when I asked. Not sure she would give out a voucher for just seven months anyway as kids have birthdays year-round. I called in December when I was sick to schedule, but no one answered. I left it for January as I felt awful. I emailed 1-15-25 to school the birthday party for April. The owner replies saying it expired and now will only allow for a deposit of $100-$150. I’m in shock. I have the email thread showing she said it was okay. I called and talked to Meghan, the manager at the south location. She apologized and said there’s nothing she can do as Kelly, the owner, is her boss. She was really nice about it and has been nice when we’ve gone in the past. She is likely the one who people encounter when they go. The owner clearly lacks integrity, honor, and is greedy. How can one give out a voucher for $300, say it’s okay to use past the expiration date that she personally set anyway, and then say it’s actually now worth a third or half that?! She should give the voucher to help the title 1 school and honor it when a family tries to use it. I can only assume she used it for free advertising and is so greedy she tries to get more money out of the family that won it. I already mentioned several times we would pay for extra kids as it only includes eight kids. She would have made money from me if that was her agenda. She clearly just wanted more.
