Questions, answered

Everything parents ask before booking a party.

How much does pottery painting cost per person? +

Our pottery pieces range in price, with most guests spending between $25–$40 per person. The price of each piece includes everything: studio time, paints, glazing, and kiln firing. No hidden fees.

How long does a party take? +

Most painters spend about 2 hours on their piece, though it varies depending on size and how much detail they want to add. Children often finish more quickly than adults.

When do we get the pottery back? +

After painting, we glaze and kiln-fire each piece. This typically takes 1–2 weeks. We’ll call you when pieces are ready for pickup — keep an eye on your voicemail in case we miss you!

We hold completed pottery for 3 months after notification before clearing space for new creations.

Do the kids need to be artistic? +

Not at all! Pottery painting is for everyone. Our staff guides painters of all ages and skill levels through the process and are always happy to share tips and techniques.

Is the finished pottery food-safe? +

Yes! Once glazed and kiln-fired, all pottery is food-safe. We recommend hand washing — please avoid the dishwasher and microwave to keep finished pieces looking their best.

Can we bring our own food and cake? +

Yes — you’re welcome to bring a cake and any snacks or drinks you’d like. We’ll handle the painting; you bring the celebration.

From mother-daughter days to bachelorette parties, this is what people love most.

Staff were amazing, environment was wonderful and my daughter and I had an incredible little mother daughter day!

Such an amazing place with lots of things to paint! I’m so addicted now, will be back for more!

Our host was absolutely amazing. We never felt rushed and we were checked in on often to make sure we had everything we needed. Can’t wait to come back again.
