Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Do I need an appointment?
A: No, you can come in and paint anytime.  If you have a larger party, however, it is sometimes helpful to reserve a table especially on the weekends.

Q: How much does it cost?
A: Most of our pottery pieces are $10-$15.  Our studio fee is $7 for adults and $5 for children.

Q:  How long does it take to paint a pottery piece?
A:  Most of our customers need 45 minutes to 1.5 hours to complete a pottery piece. 

Q:  Can I take my pottery home the same day?
A:  No.  The paint requires a clear overglaze and must be fired in our kiln.

A:  All our pottery paints and glazes are lead free, food safe, and do not stain clothes.
