Step 1: CHOOSE
Browse our well-stocked shelves and select a
piece (or two!) to paint.
We now have over 200 different items from which to choose! Items can
range in price anywhere from $10 to $80. Don't see exactly what
you're looking for? Just ask, and we can try to special-order it just
for you!
Step 2: DESIGN
Now it's time to plan the design you'll paint! You can sketch your own
design if you're artistic, but if you're not - don't worry - neither
are we! We have tons of stencils stamps, masking tapes, contact paper
and other fun ideas to make it easy for you! We also have sample pieces
painted in the studio and lots of pictures in the gallery to give you
ideas!
Step 3: PAINT
Next, you select the paint colors that you will use to embellish the
unfinished pottery. You can draw inspiration from within or kick start
your creativity by looking through some of our examples from other
artists. We also have a large assortment of specialty glazes. All
of our glazes are non-toxic, food-safe and water soluble so it won't be
a problem if your little ones (or you) get messy!
Step 4: GO FOR IT!
Paint to your heart's content! There's no limit on how many colors of
paint you can use or how much time you can spend! Should you need
assistance, we are always glad to help!
Step 5: GLAZING & FIRING
Once you are satisfied with your design, then it is time for us to take
your painted piece, where we allow it to dry completely. We will
apply a food-safe overglaze for you and fire your masterpeice in our
on-site kiln, which brings out its vivid color and shine. This process
make take a few days, to ensure the end result is an exciting and
personal item that you can be proud to display or present as a gift to
someone special.
