Frequently Asked Questions
Pottery 2 Paint is a contemporary ceramics studio. In the ceramics industry we often are referred to as a pottery painting place, however, at this time we do not physically make the pottery here. BUT stay posted for updates as we expand the studio!
We offer a walk-in ceramics studio where all pieces for purchase are in the bisque form (not green ware, and no cleaning required). You will choose a piece of bisque to paint, select your glazes, use our tools and learn new techniques as you do so. Once you’ve finished your project you will leave it to be fired and it’s ready one week later.
For a walk-in painting session we charge a $7 studio fee. This includes all the paint and supplies you use, studio time, glazing, and firing. This is a daily, per person, studio fee. Paint again when you pick up and get half off of your studio fee! You are also charged for the piece of pottery you choose to paint. Pottery prices range from $3 to $100 and lots of in between.
Special events may have other charges applied… please ask for details on a specific event.
If you know the date, time and size of your group you’re welcome to reserve space in advance. Pottery 2 Paint welcomes walk-ins on all days except during special events.

Every artist is different. Some small children are like bulls in a china closet and some are more delicate in their actions and thoughts. You know your child and what they can handle. Babies can make a mean footprint keepsake and some 3 year olds can give Monet a run for his money. We welcome all ages at Pottery 2 Paint.
