Gorgeous Dishware
Just Like Grandma's

1. Pick Your Pottery

  • Functional serving pieces: dishes, bowls, platters, and mugs
  • Kid favorites: banks, boxes, animals, and sports items
  • Home décor: picture frames, vases, and desk sets
  • And an ever-revolving lineup of festive seasonal items!

2. Select Your Colors

Choose from more than 60 super shades, like "Candy Apple Red", "Blue Yonder", "Purple-icious", and "Orange Ya Happy"!

3. Paint Your Heart Out!

Drop your inhibitions, color outside the lines, finger paint, splash, splatter, and experiment. We have lots of fun ways to get a great result, like sponging, stamping, and stenciling. Our staff will show you how ... it's easy!  You're here to have F-U-N, and remember: there are no mistakes in art!

4. LET US HANDLE THE REST!

Once you've finished, just leave your pottery with us. We'll glaze and fire your creation to turn it into a unique and food-safe ceramic masterpiece!  Fired pottery pieces are (usually) ready for pick-up in two weeks.  (We'll give you a pick-up date, no worries!)

NOTE: We will hold on to your finished piece(s) for up to 6 months from your assigned pickup date. So please don't forget to stop in to claim your creation before they're gone for good!

Pottery Painting Quick Facts:

NO ADDITIONAL FEES! The price of the pottery includes:  Use of all materials, glazing, and firing.  There are no hourly fees or additional charges -- just pottery + tax.

WHEN? ANYTIME!: Pottery Painting is always available by reservation, and sometimes on a drop-in basis.  No class is required ... we'll show you how!

PRICING: range from $10 for small items, to $75 for our jumbo platters.  An average price is in the $27-$40 range for kids pieces, mugs, dessert plates, cereal bowls, spoon rests, napkin holders, hot plates, ring holders, and pieces in that size-range.

PICK-UP:  Unless otherwise specified, your fired pottery will be ready for pick-up in 2 weeks.  We do not call you when it's ready.  Just come in on the "promise date" to pick it up.

SAFETY:  Our pottery is usable and food safe, just like the dishware in your kitchen! We use Certified Lead Free glazes that are manufactured in the U.S.A.

HANDLE WITH CARE: Treat your fired art lovingly. Since you made it by hand, we recommend you care for it by hand: hand wash with mild soap, and avoid using your piece in the oven or microwave.

POTTERY PAINTS DON'T STAIN:  They easily wash out of clothing, so no smocks or aprons are necessary.
