Questions, answered

Everything you might want to know before visiting.

Do I need to be artistic to paint pottery? +

Pottery painting is for everyone, whether you’re a seasoned artist or picking up a paintbrush for the first time. We welcome all ages and skill levels, our staff will be available to guide you through the whole process and are always happy to offer tips and tricks.

How much does pottery painting cost? +

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

How long does pottery painting take? +

Most guests spend about 2 hours painting, though it can vary depending on the size of the piece and the amount of detail you’d like to add. Some painters finish in under an hour, while others happily spend several hours creating their masterpiece. Children often finish more quickly than adults.

How long will it take to get my pottery back? +

After you’re finished painting, we’ll glaze and kiln-fire your piece. This process typically takes 1–2 weeks. Once your pottery is ready, we’ll give you a call to let you know it’s available for pickup. Be sure to keep an eye on your voicemail in case we missed you!

How long will you hold my pottery if I can’t make it in? +

We hold completed pottery for 3 months after we’ve notified you that it’s ready for pickup. After that time, we may need to clear out unclaimed pieces to make room for new creations.

Do I need a reservation? +

Reservations are recommended, especially on weekends and during busy periods, but walk-ins are welcome whenever space allows.

Can children paint pottery? +

Absolutely! Pottery painting is a fun activity for kids, teens, and adults. Children are welcome to paint with the help of a parent or guardian as needed.

Is the pottery food-safe? +

Yes! Once glazed and kiln-fired, our pottery is food-safe and ready to be enjoyed at home. We recommend gentle care to keep your finished piece looking its best for years to come. We advise against putting your pieces in the dishwasher or microwave.
