To secure a spot, customers can make a reservation and pay the studio fee of $15 ahead of time. If there is a special promotion available at the time of your reservation with a lower price, the difference between the special price and the reservation fee will be applied at the studio as a credit towards the customer’s ceramic purchases.

Yes! Our studio would happily wrap up a piece of your choice with some selected paints and brushes for an up-charge. You must use the provided paints if you wish to bring it back for firing. We use underglazes as paints as they are specifically made for creating colorful ceramics.
All of our paints are non-toxic and water based. When your painted piece is glazed & fired, it becomes food-safe, dishwasher safe and microwave safe.
