Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a reservation?

No reservation needed—just walk right in! We love welcoming walk-ins, except for booked parties, workshops, and events.

 

Plus, take advantage of our call-ahead seating! We'll gladly hold a table for you for 15 minutes if there's space. Come on over and enjoy!

Is this appropriate for young children?

Pottery painting is an exciting activity for everyone, no matter their age!

When it comes to resin art, as long as your child understands that the pieces aren't for munching, they're all set to join in on the fun!

For glass fusion, we recommend that kids be 10 years or older, unless they're teamed up with a parent to guide them through the creative process. Let the artistic adventure begin!

How much does it cost to paint?

Our pricing depends on the piece and is inclusive of seating, paint, and firing fees so there are no surprises!  Our most affordable pottery pieces are $12, but most of our pieces range between $24-$100, although we do have some pieces both above and below that range.

Can I bring food or drinks?

Absolutely! We love that you want to bring your own drinks—feel free to do so! Plus, if you get thirsty, we have some fantastic options available for purchase in our studio! Food is welcome too!

 

Just a quick note: we kindly ask that you refrain from bringing party food or anything that needs serving (like pizza, cake, or cupcakes) unless it's for one of our booked parties. Enjoy your time with us!

How long will my project take to create?

For most people, we recommend about two hours per project! Just remember, if you love diving into details or your design is a bit more intricate, you might want to set aside a little extra time. On the flip side, younger painters tend to wrap things up quickly! If you're bringing along little ones, you could be done in just 30 minutes to an hour.

When can i pick up my artwork?

Your pottery pieces will be ready for pick-up about one week after painting, and you'll receive a handy pick-up date card at checkout with the specific date. Please note that we won't be calling or texting you when they're ready, so mark your calendars!

If you created some stunning resin art, you can pick that up in just 24 hours!

And for our fabulous glass fusion creations, it may take up to 2-3 weeks, but don’t worry—we'll give you a call as soon as your beautiful glass is ready!
