If you’re looking for a new and exciting way to get creative near Marquis at Katy, paying a visit to Glazed Over Ceramics Studio is a great option. This social ceramics studio offers paint-your-own-pottery classes for visitors of all ages, and you can walk in at any time and start painting. Once you choose from the selection of hundreds of pottery pieces, you’ll set to work decorating your piece with paints, brushes, and sponges and then firing it in the kiln to take home with you. There are also glass fusion classes if you prefer something a bit more unique.

While Glazed Over doesn’t require reservations for pottery painting, if you want to plan your own private party, accommodations can be made in advance for a birthday party, bachelorette party, or bridal shower. There is a BYOB policy so that guests can bring their own food, drinks, and desserts, including your favorite wine or beer (for of-age guests only, of course).

If you’re craving authentic Mediterranean cuisine, head to Ephesus Mediterranean Grill. This family-owned restaurant is where you’ll find the unique zest of Turkish-Mediterranean and Middle Eastern food. They always use fresh produce and prepare all of their meals from scratch. The food is consistently fresh and is quickly delivered to your table.

Be sure to start out with the red lentil soup, then order the char-grilled, marinated filet mignon kebab as your entree. The stuffed cabbage rolls are also a crowd favorite. They consist of cabbage leaves stuffed with a mix of ground lamb, rice, and herbs and are stewed and dressed with tomato sauce and served with a side of yogurt and fresh vegetables.
