STUDIO RATES:

One flat cost per item
The cost of the item is what you pay! No additional studio charges. Firing service is included along with unlimited choice of colors and use of decorating tools. Sales tax is already included in the price.

Bisque Prices:Prices range from $14 and up! An average people spend on a pottery piece for a medium size piece is $24-$30. Functional dinnerware, decorative figurines, and holiday items are available for walk-in purchase. We stock seasonal items and can order or make just about anything you would like to paint. Call ahead if you have something specific in mind and we will let you know if we have it in stock or if we can order/make it. Please allow 12 weeks for special hand-made pottery requests. Ordering is limited due to covid please plan extra time for special orders - Rush shipping is available, cost varies, quote upon request.

ALL glazes are Non-toxic and lead free! Very safe for children.... and ... they even wash out of clothes with water!

***All dinnerware is fully functional, it is microwave safe, handwashing recommended. A dishwasher will not necessarily ruin the item, but it could damage it over time. Never use metal, plastic, or abrasive scouring pads on pottery, especially coffee stained mugs. Soak mugs in salt water and scrub with a washcloth to remove coffee/tea stains. Abrasive cleaning utensils on pottery can scratch off the glazed fininsh and expose bare clay. This is not toxic but we do not recommend using for drinking out of if you chip or scratch away the glaze over time. You now have a great pencil holder!

Take Home Kits: Purchase a bisque pottery piece, purchase glaze colors for $1 each, take home and paint at your leisure. Return anytime to have fired for a $5 firing fee (firing fee is waived if you bring back your kit with the used plastic glaze containers within 60 days). Soft bristled brushes are available for purchase for $3 each, or you can use any type of paint brush you have at home, there is no special brush needed. ***Makes a great addition to a birthday party at your home or family gathering (get those handprints for grandma)! We recommend purchasing non-food functional items to take and paint like figurines, planters, frames, etc. Packages that include brushes are available for group pre-order with 3-4 week advanced notice. Staff will give you an approximate kit prep time if studio is busy with painters, you may have a wait time of up to 60 minutes if you are purchasing several items for take home. Please call ahead and make your kit order over the phone or by email if you need to grab and go and we will call you back when the kit is ready. Items must be painted only with the glaze you purchase from us, if other paints are applied to the pottery or other materials like glitter glue, etc, the piece is no longer firable, we will not fire it and we will not refund.
