1. Choose your piece.
Browse our shelves of hundreds of ceramic pieces until you find just what you’re looking for: Dinnerware; plates, mugs, bowls, teapots, or platters; figurines, piggy banks, fairies, gnomes, movie and game characters & more!
2. Get Ready
Head over to our PAINT BAR and select your creative supplies: 49 colors of paint, brushes, sponges, stencils, and more! You can check out our Pinterest Page for ideas.
3. Create
Time to relax and enjoy your family or friends and let your creativity take over! If you’d like, a staff member can show you some artistic tips and techniques to help bring your idea to life!
4. Glazing
After you leave the studio, we take your piece into the back room and let it dry completely. Next, we carefully dip it in a glaze made of liquid glass. The glaze turns molten at a very high temperature, creating a shiny, glassy, food-safe finish.
5. Firing
We will wait while your piece drys again, and then we’ll load it into one of our high-grade ceramic kilns to be fired for up to 8 hours! Kiln temperatures reach an excess of 1800 degrees!
6. Cooling & Polishing
The cooling time required is double the firing time! It could take up to 16 hours! Our staff then hand polishes each piece to remove any sharp bits of Glaze that can form during firing. Your beautiful, ceramic creation is ready for pick-up!
