a reservation?

all require reservations.

Q. When will my pieces be ready?
A. Your pieces will be glazed, fired and ready within a week. Paint
Your Own Pottery will notify you if they are finished earlier. The completion
date will be marked on your invoice. During holiday periods we try to
complete your project as soon as possible, but due to the hectic season,
it may take up to 10 days. We encourage you to pick up your creations
in a timely fashion. Paint Your Own Pottery will not be responsible
for broken or lost items which remain after 4 weeks since completion.

Q. Do you rush firing?
A. Yes, we can fire items and have them ready in 3 days. Paint Your
Own Pottery will add a surcharge of $10.00 per piece for this service.

Q. Can I eat and
drink from the plates, bowls, mugs, and cups that I painted?
A. Yes, Paint Your Own Pottery's glazes are all lead free and nontoxic.

Q. Will my creation
be microwave and dishwasher safe?
A. Appliance manufacturers are split on this question. Paint Your Own
Pottery's position is that hand washing of items will definitely add
to the lifetime of the piece.

Q. Do you do special orders?
A. Yes, if you can't find the item you are looking for, Paint Your Own
Pottery will be more than happy to try and locate it for you. Please
give us a solid description of the piece (pictures work great) and approximate
size. We will get back to you as soon as possible with the results of
our search.

Q. Is this activity O.K. for small children?
A. Yes, it is indeed! Have your little ones express themselves. Use
of three colors is plenty. Grandparents will love this early expression
on creativity.

Q. I don't have any artistic talent, can you paint it for me?
A. Yes, we can! Contact Susanna directly via telephone or e-mail and
she'll be happy to create a commission to your specifications. See
photo gallery.

Q. I don't have time to paint in the studio. Can I take my pottery home
to paint?
A. Definitely! Simply ask our staff about our new program "Painting
On Wheels" if you are part of a group of moms who have a similar
situation. If you are not in a group and wish to work at home, no problem!
We'll get you all the supplies you need to paint in the comfort of your
own home.

Q. Can I bring
my own food and drink into the studio as refreshment while I or my group
paints?
A. You bet! In fact, for many of our bridal and baby showers we encourage
our clients to bring in their own Hor's d'ouvres and refreshments. At
Paint Your Own Pottery, we want you to feel right at home.
