Whether it’s to spend some time alone or to have fun with your children or friends, we are certain you will enjoy your experience. We have over 400 bisque pieces available and they are all food-safe.
Our easy-to-follow steps are available for guidance in all stages of your design and
painting: |

 |
 |
1. SELECT
your piece of pottery. Please have
adults assist all children by taking the
pottery off the shelf and place it on
the table for them.
2. WIPE the pottery off with the damp sponge provided (do not wet the sponge).
3. Write NAME (or message if this is to be a gift) on the bottom of the pottery with pencil. Because pencil burns off in the kiln, we will be happy to go over writing in paint.
4. LAYOUT your design in pencil, either
drawing free hand or using our stencils.
We are available for guidance in all
stages of your design and painting. |

5. SELECT your colors from the color chart and write the corresponding numbers of your choices on the Post-It pad provided. We can assist you in your color selections.
6. We will be happy to serve your paints for you. |
 |
7. PAINT your pencil designs first. Paints usually require two coats of paint when using a paint brush.
8. After your designs are finished, you may want to finish your piece with either background sponging or border decorating.
ONE FINAL HINT: HAVE FUN…FUN…FUN!!! |
