How to Paint Your Own Pottery

Painting your own pottery is as simple as 1-2-3 (4, & 5)

 

  1. Choose your type of paint - take home today or glazed & fired.  

  2. Pick your pottery piece. Only decorative items can be painted to take home the same day. All food or liquid related items - mugs, bowls, plates, vases - must be glazed & fired.  

  3. Paint it using one of our many design ideas or however you like.

  4. If you choose take home today paint (acrylic), we will finish it with a glossy spray & apply glitter if desired.  

  5. If you choose glazed & fired, you will leave it with us & pick up in a week!

 

Can my glazed & fired piece go in the microwave or dishwasher?

We don't recommend using a microwave or dishwasher for a ceramic piece as it could cause cracking or chipping of paint. These pieces are NOT oven safe.

 

If my piece is fired, when can I pick it up?

Glazed pieces are ready in one (1) week. However, you can pay a rush fee if you need your item quicker than that.
