J	Julie Jeffrey on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ My overall experience was disappointing. We started the class and 15 minutes in, our instructor announced the clay was no good as it had been used before. We now had to rush a 60 project into 40 minutes. At the end of the class we were told our creations would take 2 weeks to bake. My friends were leaving at the end of the week to go back to Ontario. We never heard from 4 cats to know when our things were ready. Apparently their system changed for notifying customers their mugs wear ready. I went today, a month later to finally pick up our mugs (took 4 weeks to bake, 2 weeks longer than they told us). Of our three mugs I could only find my own because none of them were labeled. We looked for 30 minutes. As I walked out with my mug I realized it had been broken during the last 4 weeks and had been glued back together carelessly. I guess they really didn't care at this point as they had already made their money. Needless to say I won't ever be going back and I threw my mug in the garbage!
M	Mel on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It’s fun. The space is nice and since my first time they’ve changed the classes around so there’s more time to paint which is awesome! The first time I went it was too stressful to do painting and making the mug in one hour. The people that work there are always nice but they 100% need a new communication system. I feel like when it’s as busy at it is they need to actually take people’s names down when booking, checking in and picking up so the customers don’t have to do the work in guessing when their art work is done. Make it $40 for two people and pay for an online system + staff training.
K	Kim “SpiceGirl” Krogstad on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Very disappointed in my experience here. Took my family in to make monster mugs in October. Seemed like the instructor did not care how these turned out... We were hurried and not given helpful instruction. After we completed the sad looking mugs we had to wait many weeks before we could pick them up. The final product was not good... The paint looked bad, the shape of the mugs was clunky and there were many rough and sharp edges. Just feel it was a waste of our time and money. Totally turned me off this art studio. Maybe it's better for kids parties...
B	Booyaka Stubbs (ExplorewithStubbs.com) on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ My daughter went to a birthday party here and had an absolute blast. She was so excited to tell us about everything they did and talked nearly the whole way home. Sounds like they have a selection of styles or ways to paint and make clay figurines. Staff looked like they had a great time interacting with the children. Seems like a great outlet for kids and adults alike as there is an adult class too. We might have to hold our daughter's birthday party here too because they all had smiles on their faces when all was said and done. I would definitely recommend 4cats to anyone of any age, never know, you might just see me in there ?..
S	Staeus Von Wolfenhart on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Such an amazing place an space! The environment teems with creative energy and memory markers of past projects, such as the layers of paint in the splatter rooms! :) The workshops are various and change every month to keep it interesting and provide a unique experience every visit. They listen and respond to feedback very well, and are as accommodating as can be. The staff is super engaging and helpful, and my partner and I both love the personal element they bring to the classes. Sometimes it can be very busy, so be prepared for cozy company in popular classes ;) I am super excited to go back with my partner for the coming October workshops! Allllllll the Halloween inspired art! :D
K	Kintogin on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Had my daughters birthday party here and did splatter paint. The kids had a blast!!. We had a staff member with us the whole time. My daughter got to get a huge painting that all the kids tell make and each kid got their own smaller one. The cost was good. I felt better paying here since everyone got to bring something home.
J	Jurassica on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The clay wheel class is a great time. Martin was our instructor and he was super friendly and helpful. Looking forward to the glazing session!
M	Melissa Bachynski on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Overall 4Cats (and the now 25Cats for Adults) is a fun spot. I've only attended adult classes - both clay and painting. They've added a glazing time for clay classes (an extra 30 minutes after the clay has its first firing that you book for another day) and an extra 30 minute lab time for painting. I think they are working hard to address the overall class issues. This location is nice and bright. The painting classes can be a bit crowded, but still fun. The staff are fun. They don't always step up when you are out front, but are fabulous in class. These are beginner classes or "just for fun" classes.
