What to Expect
Our pricing is per ceramic item, and includes the whole experience.
Price ranges are listed below in our FAQ section.
That means the time you spend, the item you choose, your paints, materials, the glazing and firing of your piece is all included in the listed cost of the ceramic item.
(plus HST and if you choose to add gratuity to reward our helpful staff)
Reservations are highly recommended. On weekends and holidays we are very likely to be fully booked, so be sure to book a spot to avoid disappointment!
Please expect a very loud, busy environment during our peak times.
Walk ins are welcome when possible. During the week before 4pm we usually have space, as long as it's not during March Break or Reading Week!

How long is a visit?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.
-
Do I need a Reservation?It's strongly recommended! Although we did just move to a larger location in October 2023, we still find ourselves fully booked during popular times such as evenings, weekends, PD days and holidays. It's best to book ahead to avoid disappointment, though we are happy to accept walk ins when available. Please visit our reservation page here to book your spot.
-
When can I pick up my finished item?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.
-
Is your location Accessible?Yes! Our location is fully accessible. We have a power door, tables that are set at the correct height for wheelchairs, and a brand spankin' new fully accessible washroom.
-
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 sell Gift Cards?Gift Cards are available for purchase online and in store. All Gift Cards are Final Sale.
-
I'm not an artist... Will I enjoy 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. Some folks find it helpful to browse Pinterest or Instagram for inspiration. We also have stencils, idea books and many different techniques that require no special training to execute. We also have a lot of items that are detailed, so that you just need to pick your favourite colours and paint them in!
-
Do you serve Food & Drinks?We have a drink fridge with a small assortment of non-alcoholic refreshments for sale on site. You are also 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.
-
I'd like to bring a large group in to paintGot a group of 10+ people you want to bring? Check out our large group booking page here. Be sure to book ahead for any size of larger groups as well. We do fill up fast on weekends and evenings!
-
Do you offer Kiln Rental services or Repair services?We do not offer any kiln rental services or ceramic repair services. We are too busy with our current offerings and our kilns run around the clock to get your in-store painted items back to you as quickly as possible.
