Do I need a reservation?

Do I need to have experience?
Not at all. We have patterns, stencils, sponges and stamps that can make anyone look like a pro. In addition, we have laminated technique cards at every table, art books for arts-and-crafts inspiration, and our friendly and knowledgable staff is aways glad to steer you in the right direction.
Is this just for kids?
Absolutely not. The benefits of painting pottery can be experienced by anyone from 5 to 105! We have open painting time, classes, workshops, and special events and parties for both children and adults.
Can I special order bisque pieces?
Yes. Special order catalogues for several vendors are available. Payment is required at time of order.
Will you custom paint a piece for me?
Yes. We have several excellent painters that can paint everything from pet and house portraits on platters or mugs, to mongrammed bridal gits. Contact us for more details or visit our Gallery page for samples of work.
How long does the finishing process take?
Seven days is generally sufficient to cover variables in prep time for firing and in the number of pieces waiting to be fired during any given week. Each step in the finishing process is important and takes time. The paint on the piece must dry thoroughly. Half of the piece is then dipped in clear glaze and allowed to dry thoroughly. The other half of the piece is then dipped and allowed to dry. Our kiln heats up to 1,860 degrees, so we really are "firing" it. After firing, the kiln must cool to a relatively low temperature before we can open it. This can take 24 hours or more. Premature opening of the kiln can impair the quality of your ceramic work. After the kiln is opened, we must smooth any rough surfaces to prevent injury. Simply put, a quality product takes time.
Do your products contain lead?
No. Our paints and clear glazes are lead-free, non-toxic, food safe and environmentally sound.
Is it safe to eat off my piece?
All pieces painted with our standard paints are safe for eating. They are dishwasher safe as well. (Please note: We offer some additional painting techniques that can be used for display pieces only.)
Do the paints wash out of clothes?
A stain remover like Shout or Spray & Wash should remove paint from your clothes.
What can I paint?
We have hundreds of beautiful and functional pieces in a wide variety of styles and price points. We have plates, mugs, bowls, picture frames, candle holders, figurines, teapots, vases, knobs, plaques and more. You name it -- and we probably have it.
