WHAT DO GUESTS PAINT? CAN THEY PAINT ANY PIECE?
This depends on your budget. Some groups prefer to do the same piece, some pick from a smaller selection of pottery (ie: by themes - mugs & plates, animals, sweets, etc), while others pick their favorites (a la carte pricing). See specific sections (Kids Events vs Adult/Corporate Event) for additional details.

Why are there no xx:30 time slots?
We strongly don't recommend parties starting other than the top of the hour because when people start parties in between the hour (i.e. 12:30PM), we've noticed that more guests end up arriving late, which delays the party. It's overall much easier for everyone when parties start on the hour (i.e. 12:00PM).
Nonprofit organizations / schools please include a copy of your tax exempt certificate❗
