FAQs

We highly recommend making a reservation ahead of time so we can manage how many people can safely be in the studio, however walk-ins are welcome if we have tables available. Please follow the “Reserve Your Studio” Button on the home page or give us a call/email to requeset a time and date.

For a reguaglr reservation, our tables can seat up to 6.

For groups of 8-12 people, there is a $25 reservation and your group would sit spread between two tables. We cannot push our tables together.

For studio rentals and zoom events hosted by us, please see the Parties and Events tab.

We are a paint-your-own-pottery studio also offering fused glass (Cleveland Park only), mosaics and acrylic painting (either on the pottery or on canvas).  During your reservation, you select the project you would like to do, and we will set you up with the appropriate materials depending on which type of project you are doing. Then a staff person will explain the process and answer any questions.

Your pottery is ready depending on our kiln schedule (usually within a week or week and a half). Glass fusion projects can take longer to fire. Mosaics are typically taken home the same day as well as an acrylic painted piece/canvas. If you can’t finish your pottery in one visit, we will package up your piece for you to take with you and bring back any other time to finish for no extra charge. We can also pour paint ($1 per color) for you to take home if you’d like to finish at home. We don’t hold any unfinished pieces in the studio. 

Please note that we hold items for 30 day from the pick up date.  If you cannot make it into the studio within that time frame, please call or email us and we can arrange to keep your pieces longer.

We provide everything you need including a fun, creative, and relaxing atmosphere. We have a great design center which includes stencils, stamps, sponges, and design ideas. All of the paint washes out of clothing so there’s no need for smocks, but we do have smocks for children and booster seats if needed.

The average person spends about an hour and a half to two hours to pick their pieces and finish painting. With young children it depends on their attention span.  If you are worried about time, we might recommend doing a take home kit or if you don’t finish in the studio, you can take it home and come back another day to finish your piece for no extra charge.

Our studios run on a 7-10 day schedule.

Please note: due to our amount of business during the holiday seasons our schedule can change. This usually occurs around Dec. 1 and a few weeks before Mother’s day. Be sure to allow plenty of time if you plan on making a gift.  

We will keep your piece for 30 days from your scheduled pick up date.

There is something for ALL ages, you and old, in our studios!

For our young patrons, putting children’s hand prints on pottery is a good introduction to pottery painting. We also have small animal figurines and cute little boxes, kids love to paint.

For adults, you can bring your favorite drink and settle in for a fun, relaxing painting experince with your best friends or family.

The glaze on ceramic tends to crack when it is heated and cooled too quickly. This is called crazing. To avoid this process we recommend you do not put your pottery in a microwave or dishwasher.

All of our paint and glazes are lead free and nontoxic. After the pieces have been fired, they are safe to use and eat from.

Policy varies per location. Please call/email the location you are interested to inquire about food and drink in our studio.

Absolutely! We love to help people with the painting process and design ideas. Please, feel free to ask for any assistance you may need.
