The last day to paint to have items ready in time for Mother's Day is May 3rd!
Paint at Home Kits
Prefer to paint at home? Want to bring a fun activity to the cottage, team building group at the office, girls weekend, birthday party, picnic at the park?
Come pick up your ceramics and paint, and just return the items to us afterwards to be fired in one of our kilns.
Book a 15 minute consultation reservation by email or phone to come in, choose your items and pick out your colours for your project. Not recommended for weekends or holidays as we are extremely busy, and you may have to wait 10-20 minutes for service.
​
We provide you with detailed written instructions on how to complete your project, but we're also happy to give you the paint explanation in person in store before you head home to paint as well.
​
We do not lend out brushes or other painting materials, but we have some inexpensive kits for sale in store.
We sell 1oz paint pots for $1 each, so you can select as many colours as you'd like.
​
Please take the following precautions when painting outside the studio:
-
Select an area that is free from oils and food. Oils from hand cream and food can prevent the paint from sticking to the ceramics during the firing process, causing a defect called "shivering" where the glaze sheers off.
-
Wash your hands before touching your ceramics.
-
Use any brushes that you have at home, as long as they are not used with Oil paint (see above!)
Do not use any other paints or materials on your ceramics, except for the ones provided by us.
Do not use Sharpies, nail polish, pencil crayons, crayons, acrylic paint or glitter on your pieces.
​
Using any materials not provided by our studio may cause us to not be able to fire your items in our kiln. Please take great care to follow this important direction.
​
​
BRING YOUR PIECES BACK TO BE FIRED IN OUR KILN
Return your items to us, and we'll glaze and fire your pieces. Once fired, they are fully functional. (Dishwasher, Microwave and Food Safe)
Our turnaround time is ~7-10 days, depending on how busy we are.
We'll notify you by email once your piece is ready.
​
LARGE GROUPS
Do you plan to host a party with 6 or more participants?
You can rent a kit with materials for your group activity (for 6 or more participants)
A non-refundable rental cost of $20 per kit includes brushes, paint pallets and 10 large paint bottle colours. Additional colours can be added for $2 each.
You're welcome to choose the colours, or just request a rainbow palette that we are happy to put together for you.
​​
The borrowed materials must be returned to us complete and in the same condition it left our studio.
​
We do request that you leave a credit card number on file, and we reserve the right to charge you a $50 replacement fee if the paints, brushes or other materials are not returned to us intact in a timely manner (within 7 days)
