Pottery Painting Experience
How It Works
Enjoy painting ceramics with friends and family in a fun, creative environment. Pottery pieces start at $18 each, plus a modest $20 per hour studio fee for your group (not per person) that covers all supplies, instruction, table use, cleanup, glazing, firing, and free shipping or local delivery to Stone Harbor and Avalon. This activity is perfect for almost any age.
Your finished pottery will be shipped within two weeks at no extra charge to one address (each additional address would cost $10). Payment is due during your visit, except for Paint and Sip Events which require payment at reservation.
We need a credit card to hold your spot (no charge unless you miss your appointment). Please cancel at least 48 hours before your appointment if needed. If you're more than 15 minutes late without notice, your appointment will be canceled with a modest $20 administrative fee.
We have aprons available to borrow for all activities.

My family had a wonderful time creating their pieces of pottery. My grandchildren are 11 years old, 9 years old and 3 years old. They enjoyed all the choices and had trouble choosing one piece but they did! We had a choice of colors and they loved choosing them. The three year old did a lovely mermaid. We were all pleasant surprised, at how carefully she did her piece and how lovely it came out. All the pieces looked beautiful and we will definitely make this a stop for the next time, we visit.
