FAQs
Can I just walk in and paint?
Yes, you can walk in any time during our open hours to paint any project off our shelves. We recommend coming in at least 45-60 minutes before closing time to give yourself enough time to choose and paint your project. We also offer walk in clay hand building during our open hours- you need at least 60 minutes to complete a project.
What are your hours?
We’re open everyday! Sunday 12-5, Monday - Wednesday 12-6, Thursday 12-8, Friday 12-7, and Saturday 10-7.
How much does it cost?
Our studio pricing is all-inclusive, so we do not have additional fees for studio time, paints, or firing. Our projects start at $18 and go up in price depending on the size and complexity of the piece.
Do I need a reservation?
We do not offer reservations, our studio is first-come, first-serve. We have a lot of available seating and space in our studio. If you’d like to reserve a private space for your group, you can check out our private event options for kids and adults.
How long does it take for my piece to be ready?
Pieces are ready for pickup 7-10 days after painting. We glaze and fire every piece on site. After firing, we’ll hold your piece for 60 days. We can ship your pieces if needed once they’re ready.
Can I actually use my painted piece?
After your piece is fired and returned to you, it is fully food-safe and usable. We recommend hand washing or top rack only of the dishwasher to preserve the life of your piece.
Can we sit outside?
We do have an outdoor patio which you are welcome to use during nice weather. Our patio is not lit, so it is only open during daytime hours. It may be reserved occasionally for private events.
Can I bring food and drinks?
Guests can bring water bottles and drinks, and those 21+ can BYOB. However, food and snacks are not allowed in our studio unless you have booked a private event or are attending a class.

Walk in clay is $45 per pound and includes both firings, painting, and all needed supplies. Ages 8 and up can participate! You can come any time during our open hours to make a clay project, but you need to come at least 60 minutes before closing to give yourself enough time to finish your project.
