A hands-on craft studio on the third floor of Queensway Shopping Centre, where people book a slot to make their own pieces. Pluto Studio's website lists figurine painting, decoden, press-on nails, beading and a Moru doll activity. Figurine painting is the most booked, according to customers. The studio also sells a mix of goods from small local businesses, so visitors can browse as well as make things.
Customers describe it as a good date idea or a day out with a friend. One couple came for an anniversary and the partner loved the place. Another returned for a second decoden workshop and said they would come back again. One visitor enjoyed a press-on nails workshop with a friend. Several people call the studio an interesting combination of workshop and shop.
Booking works by reserving a seat and choosing an activity on the website. The booking deposit is taken off the final cost. The website asks visitors to read the policies before booking.
Within a kilometre there are two other artist studios listed.
The studio is at Queensway Shopping Centre, #03-27, in Queenstown.
