In The Kiln - San Dimas, California

Freaking awesome. We used to go to the Color Me Mine by our house, but now we go out of our way to visit In The Kiln for the amazingly knowledgeable staff, great selection, and awesome prices. I’m seriously in love with this place and drag everyone here! Whether you’re super artsy or not, there’s a fun style for everyone. My husband didn’t like painting at all until we came here and he learned about stoneware. Now our yard is full of pots!

Our church group hosted a Mother and Daughter event at kiln today and we had awesome time there. The store is spacious and have so many choices of ceramic or stoneware to chose. Diana and John had helped us so much through the process. They are So nice and helpful since we are all first timer making our own color mine ceramic or stoneware. We have enjoyed it so much and my daughter already told me that she wants to do it again. Many Thanks to Diane and John and God bless you.

My wife took a ceramics class in college and we stored an unfinished project of hers in our garage for over 10 years. Finally, I decided that I'd like to finish it for her and I'm so glad that I went to In The Kiln. They took excellent care in determining exactly the type of clay and whether or not it could be fired (so that the piece did not explode in the kiln), before doing the final firing and glaze. It really turned out beautifully and I'm so happy to be able to surprise my wife with her finished vase from college. Thank you so much for making this happen, Dianna--you were such a great help! 🙂

It's such a creative space and I couldn't believe how many options they had AND at such an affordable price. I've been to some similar places in the past but it's nothing like what they offer at In The Kiln. I really appreciate the service and the special care they gave me in taking care of this important project. I'm also very thankful that the vase is done before Valentine's Day! Now, I just need to stop off and pick up some flowers to surprise my wife with her gift that "we" worked on together! I will definitely be back to do some more projects. I do think this would be a really great place for a creative date or for families to enjoy. This is a good local business that we should all support!

Great experience. Went with a group and they handled it well and even gave us a tour! They had a large selection and even more if you were to pick something out from the back and have it fired for a later visit.

We had our daughter's birthday party there and the kids enjoyed it so much. Diana was very helpful with guiding the kids on what they should do what they should avoid to make their piece come out nice. The place is big and clean, the kids were not rushed. They made space for us on the countertops for food etc and helped with clean up. They had enough space for parents to hang out as well. They have a huge selection of items to choose from. The entire experience with them was very pleasant.

My husband and I came in today to paint. The staff were very friendly and helpful. They suggested different techniques for painting my piece and walked me through them and kept checking in to make sure we were doing well. We will definitely be returning!

We have come here multiple times. The variety is great, the staff is extremely knowledgeable, and they are so patient with young kids. It’s amazing to create family heirlooms here like our Halloween Pumpkins and Christmas trees.

Love it here! Great workers who are friendly and helpful! They have a great selection of ceramics to paint. Currently it's an $8 sitting fee plus amt of item you choose to paint. Small items usually are $4 and as you get to cups/bowls etc about $12 bucks. Always have a great time here!
