Paint Your Own Pottery

a fun, creative experience!

Stop by our campus today and enjoy the Paint-Your-Own-Pottery studio! We have a dedicated studio with tons of options for you to create with and have fun.

Walk-ins welcome and there are No Studio Fees!

Paint Your Own Pottery (PYOP) is a fun, creative experience for everyone–no matter age, ability, or artistic talent! We supply all the materials you will need and offer a wide range of ceramic items for you to choose from. How does it work? Choose your item, paint your unique design with our underglazes, and pick it up once we fire it for you in our kilns!

The PYOP studio is open Monday through Saturday, from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm, with the last seating at 3:30 pm. We do ask that you please call ahead if making reservations for parties of 4 or more people. All ages are welcome, but adult supervision is required for ages 12 and under. The cost of the session is simply the cost of the pieces you choose to paint, plus tax. Pottery pieces range from $5 to $80, most items being in the $15-$20 range. Once painted, your one-of-a-kind pottery piece will be ready in 7 to 10 business days!

Pottery painting is a great way to spend quality time with family and friends. It’s also ideal for birthday parties, corporate events, baby or bridal showers.
