Will you custom paint a piece?
Yes – plus we can do custom lettering for a slight upchatge. Contact us for more details.
How long does the finishing process take?
Seven days is generally sufficient. 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.
