HOW POTTERY PAINTING WORKS!

Unpainted Pottery (bisqueware) & glazes for purchase

Choose from our selection of individually priced, unpainted pottery pieces (bisqueware), available for take-home painting kits or scheduled an in-studio pottery-painting event.

Take-Home Pottery Painting Kits

• Purchase your pottery pieces and glaze colors online, and we'll prepare your order for studio pickup.

• Optional Materials Borrowing fee (includes paintbrushes & paint trays) to borrow supplies for at-home pottery painting (fee refundable once materials are returned).

• Paint at home or anywhere you like, at your convenience!

• Return your painted pieces to the studio for kiln firing. Our specialty glazes become food-safe, water-resistant, and durable after proper firing.

• Prefer to use your own acrylic or air-dry paints? You can! Just keep in mind that these finishes are generally decorative only, not food-safe, and less durable than kiln-fired glazes. No return or firing is needed!

• Used our paints/glazes? Drop your painted pieces at the studio for kiln firing, typically ready for pickup within 2-3 weeks after drop-off.
