Yes, All of our paints are non-toxic, lead free, and are food-safe.

We encourage hand-washing rather than dishwasher in order to preserve the finish.

We generally do not recommend using the microwave with your standard earthenware pottery pieces.

It’s easy! You just pick the pottery piece you want to paint, and we show you how to use the paints and help you with ideas. You leave the finished piece with us and we glaze and fire it for you. We will call you when it is ready (usually about seven to ten days)

No experience is necessary. It’s fun, it’s easy, and we can show you everything you need to know! Plus we have templates, stamps and other tools available for your use, as well as techniques.

Pottery painting is very forgiving and anyone can create something fun and functional.

Yes! Our team members paint many pieces for display in the studio and they are all available for sale as well. We also offer custom painted ceramic pieces for you — great for gifts!

We have hundreds of pieces on our shelves and they each have a price labeled on the bottom. Our pottery piece prices include painting and firing. There are no additional studio or sitting fees. We do have some specialty glazes (gold and silver luster, snow, etc.) that can be purchased separately. Our pottery pieces range from $10.00 to $150.00 with most pieces priced between $17.00 and $37.00.

We are open every day 10am to 9pm, except closed/reservation only on Tuesday . We recommend that you come to create at least an hour before closing time in order to have time for your project. If you do not finish, we can hold it for you for another visit with a $10 return fee for table (up to four pieces).

We are closed on Easter Day, July 4th, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day.

In our open studio area, you can come in any time and stay as long as you like. We do not charge for time. On average, our guests spend an hour and a half to two hours. Kids under age five will probably be finished in 45 minutes. We have had groups who spend all day with us especially when working on larger pieces or more detailed pieces. The majority of our canvas designs are 2 hours or less, with some designs up to four hours estimated time. If you are working on a project and want to go grab lunch, no problem. There are many great places in the area to walk to for great food. If you want to order food at your table in our studio, we have partnered with some restaurants who will deliver it to your table.

If you do not finish a project in your visit with us, you may take it home to bring back for another visit.  Your first return visit is no charge and each additional return visit for the same item is $10 per visit.  Most everyone finishes their project in one visit, some need two visits, rarely are three or more visits needed for each project.

We have street parking available as well as a parking garage behind our building. You can enter through the back entrance if you park in the parking garage.  If you are doing a quick pickup/dropoff, you can pull up to our back gate for a few minutes to come in and pickup/dropoff.

We always recommend parking in the parking garage behind the building and coming in the back entrance.  It is the best bet and is covered to keep your vehicle out of the sun.
