"Artcentric" Pottery Painting and Glass Studio - Benicia, California

LOVE this place! I’ve now been twice for some girl days and it’s such a great activity to do to get out of the house, be creative, and spend some time with friends! Everything is priced reasonably, the owner is welcoming and gives great instructions, and it’s unique and fun! Could not recommend more for individuals of any age!

This local gem is such a treasure for downtown Benicia! We've visited for everything from hand-print pottery (the owner's expert guidance ensures they come out perfectly every time) to birthday parties (always a huge hit with the kids) and even quiet weekday painting sessions for a bit of creative "me time." The variety of projects—like glass fusion—makes it more than just a pottery painting studio, but there's a great selection of cool stuff to paint or play with if that's your path, and gifts to take home as well (including art kits for bored kids, perfect for the holidays!!). Between all that, and the fact that the owners couldn't be nicer, it's a joy to have such a cool, family-owned spot in town. Supporting this wonderful local business is something we love to do, and I highly recommend it!

Aline is the best owner here!!! She is very talented, patient, kind, and a great multi tasker. My niece and I love her place. It’s relaxing, she checks in on us, and she’s super sweet!! Go here and you won’t regret it!!

Great experience here- I did a hand and foot print of my daughter when she turned 1 year old. I painted it and then they glazed and fired it. It turned out fabulous and no doubt I'll cherish it forever.

Very cool place. Lots of options of art you can do and try. They offer some class. However my wife and I just decided to go and try for fun to make yourselves mugs. She was able to accomplish a great job with details on her mug. My shades of mountains was worth a try. We both love the mugs and had an incredible fun time working on it. Whatever questions you may have. There is a nice and resourceful lady ready to give you tips, a hand and ideas. If you are looking for some fun and art with you significant other or kids, this is worth a try. You should check it out. Price wise, it is not so bad since you are paying for the experience and resources, materials. If I am not wrong, we spent about 60 dollars total to make the mugs and have it glanced. BTW, you leave to mugs at the store and get them in the following week after being treated on fire. 😎

Brought my ten year old here on a rainy Friday afternoon, and had such a fun time painting some pottery pieces! The owners are very welcoming and walk you through the entire process. The prices for the pieces are written on the bottom of them, and then you are walked through to pick out your colors and tools.

We got two medium sized pieces, plus studio fee came out to $110–so it is a bit pricey. I would say it’s worth it for an occasional treat out though!
