When you come in to paint, you’ll choose from a selection of over 100 pottery pieces ranging in price from $18 on up. You’ll pay a $10 studio fee to cover unlimited underglaze paint, tools (such as tape, sponges, stencils, & stamps), staff help, and the kiln firing process. Once your piece is dried, we will glaze it and fire it in our kilns to brighten the colors and add a protective coating. The kiln process even makes pottery food-safe and dishwasher-safe (though pieces will last longer if they are hand-washed).
