Paint in
the studio
It's easy as 1, 2, 3...
1. Pick an item to paint from our collection of preformed, ready-to-paint pottery (ceramic) items.
2. We provide the paint/glaze and the brushes and you get creative! We provide a variety of tools to use including stencils, silk screens, sponges, writer bottles and more!
3. Leave your painted item with us and we glaze and fire it in our kiln. A minimum of 3 days is required for firing; we fire 1-2 times per week depending on demand. (Use acrylic paints and take it home with you the same day! NOTE: acrylic paint is not food safe; mugs and plates should be fired if you are using them.)
4. Pick up your hand-painted ceramics after they're fired (varies, min three days).
Our studio is the perfect sit-down activity after a morning of hiking or on a rainy day. Make your own souvenirs as you make memories. Bring your snacks and drinks, and make it a party! BYOB welcome, too.
Are you visiting Estes Park and leaving before the ceramics are ready for pick up? No worries! We can ship your items to you.
Non-ceramic
projects
Not into painting ceramics or don't want to wait or ship?
We have other projects that can be finished and taken same day in addition to painting ceramics with acrylic paint.
-
Paint a tote bag.
-
Personalize a glass or insulated mug with permanent vinyl.
-
Personalize a glass with glass etching.
-
Paint a wood board.
-
Paint on canvas.
Clay
We have low fire clay for hand building and slab rolling projects.
Clay requires 1-2 weeks to dry and be bisque fired.
-
At that point, you can come back to paint it with glaze to fire again.
-
You can also paint your piece with acrylic paint after it is dried and bisque fired, so it is ready on your second visit. (Acrylic paint is not food safe.)
-
Or we can ship your bisque piece to you and you can paint it at home.
