How It Works
1. Select your pottery
Sometimes that is the hardest part! We have a fabulous selection of kitchenware, household items, platters, and so much more.
2. Design your piece.
A staff person will walk you though the whole process; showing you the design center, paints and explain how to get started. This can help spark inspiration! Staff can also demo any techniques on our sample technique plates.
For in studio, you can design your piece using any of our supplies. Our design center has stamps, stencils, tape, q-tips, dollies, silkscreens and much more.
Pro Tip: Sketch with a ball point pen, because pen fires off in the kiln!
With our paints, we have a variety of colors to choose from including a beautiful selection of underglazes, speckled paints, sparkly paints, and more. All our paints are nontoxic and food-safe. And don’t worry if you make a mess! Paints will wash out of clothes, and we’ll take care of clean up for you! Since we over-glaze all your artwork, any blank spaces will be shiny and white.
3. Start Painting!
Have fun and relax as your express your creative side! Let us know if we can help along the way!
After you finish…
1. Placed on the shelves
Pieces are queued by day. We put a tag for each shelf/day.
2. Glaze’in!
Each piece is dipped in our glaze which clear coats your piece. This will make the pottery shiny and food safe. Don’t worry — the green turns clear when it’s fired!
3. Loading the Kiln
Pieces are stilted and loaded into the kiln. It’s about 30 hours in the kiln to fire and cool from 1800 degree.
4. Sanding Stilt Marks
We sand down all stilt marks to make it dull. Safety first!
5. Sort, Package, Text!
We match the order form we filled out when you painted with your fired pieces. The whole order is packaged, then we text the phone number from the reservation.
6. Shelf It
We place the bag on pick up shelves by last name. We ALWAYS want to the get the bag — it’s a staff (and safety) thing.
