Frequently asked Questions
Is the paint non-toxic?
Yes, the paints and all other tools are nontoxic before and after firing.
I need my piece fired faster than 5 days, is there anything I can do to get it out sooner?
We have a Quickfire process that will have your piece ready in 3 days. This costs an extra $5 per piece.
I didn't finish painting, can I come in some other day to work on it some more?
If you do not complete your piece during your first visit, we will wrap it up for you and you may bring your Work-In-Progress back to finish Monday through Thursday at no additional charge. There is a $5 Work-In-Progress fee on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
Can I take this piece to go? I'd like to work on it at home.
Sure! We'll even give you 4 colors to take with you. Make sure you bring back any unused paints - we will recycle them for you. Taking paint to go is great for projects that involve kids in the classroom working on a big piece.
I saw this thing on Pinterest...
Bring in any reference materials you like - show it to us and we'll help you with color matching, designing, and creating your own version.
Can you do nice handwriting on it for me?
We can give you loads of tips and tricks for doing your own neat writing. If you'd still like us to handle it, we have some commissioned artists that can take care of it for you - $3 for 3 small words, $5 for 3 large words. Our studios have samples of the writing styles so you can preview them.
So you have commissioned artists?
Yes! If you'd like us to create something more detailed, such as decorating handprints, recreating wedding invitations, or painting a memorial, we will work with you. Stop into a studio or email us with your ideas.
Due to the unpredictable nature of pottery firings, we do not offer refunds on finished pottery.
