DIY DROP IN and Paint Pottery!  PAINT YOUR OWN POTTERY!  Pottery Painting! No appointment necessary! 
We have hundreds of objects to choose from! You pick your piece, choose your glazes (looks like paint) decorate, leave it with us to dip (overglaze for shine) and fire (kiln) ready for pick up in 5-7 days (depending on how busy we are with web and studio orders) or we can ship!
* The price on the bottom of each piece is all inclusive, ranging - $12 -$16 christmas/seasonal ornaments, figurines start at $16, mugs start at $18, 6" plates at $18, and hundreds of other items in between all the way up to-$95 platters. This includes glaze, firing, bubble wrap, bag and 1 hour of studio time. (Sales tax will be added)
*All finished and fired ceramic-ware is food safe, and dishwasher safe like anything you would buy in the store! You pay only for the price of the pottery, no studio sitting or glaze fee, just sales tax.  Plan on spending about an hour to complete your creation!
*Our glaze (paint) is water-washable and non-staining as well as non-toxic and lead-free, so little kids can paint with their hands (and feet too!).
*You can also paint your child's hand or foot and press it on any piece of pottery creating a stamp! Our pottery is called "earthenware" because it comes from the earth - how GREEN is that?
** PYOP (paint your own pottery)  is not a spectator sport!
If you visit our studio with your friends and family plan on everyone painting their own piece of pottery!  Our policy allows for one non painting parent or adult to stay without painting - although we encourage EVERYONE to get creative!  If you have additional adults in your group who wish to watch and not participate we have a standard $10 per hour per person "sitting" fee.  On occasion sitting fees are added or omitted at our discretion.
*Layering glazes: When painting pottery remember the glaze is similar to a water color;  so dark colors will show up over light colors.  Light colors do not work well over dark colors. You do not need to paint your entire piece with color, whatever you don't paint will be white and shiny as the entire piece will be dipped in overglaze.  When applying glaze (paint) 2 coats will be the maximum application.  Do not over saturate or layer more than 2 coats, this can impair the glaze from fusing to the bisque ware.  Most of all, just have fun, get creative and enjoy an hour relaxing at our cozy studio.
Hours 1-5PM 7 days a week, check our Hours page for additional vacation week hours.

*When will my pottery be ready?   
Pottery is ready in 5-10 days and is required to be picked up within 2 weeks of the pick up date written on your yellow receipt.

​*Yellow receipt is required for pick up so be sure to bring it with you!  You may also take a photo of your yellow receipt showing names, phone number and pick up date and show the image to us for pick up.  

NEED US TO SHIP your pottery to you?
*If you wish us to ship you may fill out a shipping form with credit card and shipping info and we will get your pottery to you!
*We do charge a $10-$25 handling fee for group pottery shipping and a $5 runner fee. 
​
FYI
*Manufacturer recommends hand washing of pottery rather than dishwashing.  This is due to the possible banging around not the detergent or heat.  However, as studio owners we do put all of our pottery in our dishwashers at home without incident. 
*Pottery is not microwave safe as it will become super heated.  


HAND & FOOT PRINTS on POTTERY!
Looking to create a very unique gift with your children for mom, dad, grandparents, Godparents, teachers and more?  Stop by and make some hand print, foot print or fingerprint art!  In our Paint your Own Pottery studio all you do is choose your bisque piece (pottery piece) pick your glaze colors (looks like paint) and apply with a brush to a hand, foot or finger and press onto the ceramic like a stamp! Hands or Feet can be worked into a design such as fish, flowers, penguins, ladybugs and more! Thumbprints or finger prints can be used to create animals, butterflies, flowers, caterpillars, or whatever your imagination can dream up!  We do not assist with the prints as this is a paint your own pottery activity and   its so easy!  Check out our images below, on Pinterest, and Facebook page for videos!  Just have FUN with it! Best of all the glazes are water based so they will not stain skin or clothing, and they are non-toxic and lead free!
No appointment needed, just drop on by! 
All age appropriate from NEWBORNS to ADULTS!
Bringing a group? If you have a larger group and would like to book a table by leaving a deposit, give us a call at the studio at 401-247-1397. 
Finished ceramic work is typically ready in 5-7 business days depending on our firing schedule so please plan accordingly!  We are very busy firing, and do our best to provide fast turn around times.  All glazes are food safe, non toxic and water based- no smocks needed.  We have a variety of sponges and stamps to choose from and you are welcome to come in with your own if you wish.


We believe firmly that you are all capable of being artists- that is why our studio is substance free! We know that alcohol only impedes your ability to create beautiful work and encourage all adults to set a good example and socialize substance free!
