Customer Reviews
I decided to have a date night with my boyfriend and go to Build – a – boob – pot and it was so much fun. We even decided to pay extra to get it food grade safe And we just got in the mail five weeks after and it looks amazing!
The glaze gives it a beautiful finish!
Such a fun experience and loved how my pieces turned out! Would highly recommend for something fun to do and to also have unique pieces at home!
Loved the creativity, a great activity!
Loved how interactive and helpful this class was! Plus I have clay to take back home with me.
