Frequently Asked Questions

How does it work?

Pick your ceramic item from our wide range of functional and decorative pieces. Spend ~2 hours at our studio painting your item and then leave it with us to be fired in one of our kilns

How much does it cost?

Prices are ALL INCLUSIVE (Plus HST)

We have a wide assortment of items, with a wide range of prices to suit every budget. Mugs, bowls and medium sized items are between $25-$35 plus HST. Planters, platters, vases and larger items are between $40-$60 plus HST. Kids items like figurines range between $15-$30. Christmas ornaments are $12-$25.

How long does it take?

Most people finish their projects within 2 hours. On evenings, weekends and holidays we ask that you limit your visit to 2-2.5 hours so that we can accommodate all the painters who might want to visit us that day. If you don't finish in one visit you can return at a later date to complete your piece, at no additional charge

When can I pick up my piece?

After the painting process, your item needs to be glazed and then fired in a kiln (pottery oven). Turnaround time is usually 7-10 days. We'll notify you by email when your piece is ready for pickup!

Can anyone do this?

Painters of ALL AGES and levels of experience with art can enjoy an afternoon of painting with us. ZERO skills required! Our lovely staff can guide you through different painting techniques to help you achieve your vision

Are the items functional?

They are! After firing, our ceramics are fully non-toxic and food safe. You can put them in the dishwasher and even reheat food in them in the microwave. Please note that they are softer than commercial ceramics so handwashing will ensure they will last forever, and it's not recommended to cook items in the microwave as they will heat up

Do you serve Food & Drinks?

We plan to add drinks to our offerings in the new year, but at this time we do not serve food or drink. You are welcome to bring in coffee or drinks from another establishment. Alcoholic drinks are not permitted. Food and ceramics do not mix, as oils from your hands can cause issues with the paint not adhering to the ceramic. Please plan your meals around your visit to us.

Do I need a Reservation?
