Frequently Asked Questions
Can I really just walk-in anytime?
Yes! Whenever we are open you can walk-in anytime and paint pottery. No reservations are needed, though we do take them if you are a large group of 7 or more to get everyone seated together.
All locations have seating capacity for over 60+ people, not counting our party spaces either, so getting a seat is really not a problem.
How long should I plan to visit?
This can vary greatly based on your personal creativity and the size of the piece you paint. In general, if you plan 2.5 hours for adults and 1.5 hours for kids, this is a good average time.
You are welcome to take as long as you need to create your project. There are no time limits or studio fees.
How much does it cost?
You’ll pay for your paint + pottery seperately.
It costs $8.00 to use the Paint Bar and that gets added to the items you paint for the day. Your projects firing is included in the Paint Bar
Pottery costs vary greatly based on the items you pick but for a first-time painter if you budget $25 total for your visit you will have lots of fun and you will be able to choose from lots of different figurines, mugs, small bowls, small dishes and ornaments to paint.
Is my project food safe?
Absolutely. Unlike those pottery projects you find at craft/big-box stores, ALL of our kiln-fired pottery and glazes are 100% lead-free, food safe!
When can i pickup my project?
After you turn in your project it takes about 5-7 days to go through the kiln-fire process. We’ll get your mobile number on checkout and send you a text message when your project is complete, bagged and ready to go home with you.
If you miss the text or its been more then 7 days, feel free to give us a call and we can check your status.
Pottery is held for 90 days only so don’t forget to pickup your project!
Can I bring in food or drinks into the main studio?
You can bring closed-container drinks and some small, packaged snacks say for the kiddos – in moderation. Don’t hijack this FAQ to bring in pizza, cakes or even more into the main studio.
If you are trying to celebrate a party with food & drinks consider booking one of our awesome party formats or simply book a private space for your group of 8 or more painting guests.
I have pottery I made at school or purchased elsewhere, can you fire it for me?
Sorry, we are a high-volume studio and cannot afford any downtime or risk to our equipment so we cannot fire pottery that is not sourced through us.
We can suggest you contact your local town Park & Rec. department instead who usually has a kiln or someone who will take personal projects instead.
Come in today!
Walk-in anytime we are open for paint your own pottery. Drop in anytime as no reservations required unless you are a large group.
