All of our prices include paints, glazes, and firing. The price for the pottery wheel also includes 1 pound of clay, which is enough clay to make a coffee cup, cereal bowl, a 6” or 7” plate or a small vase. Additional clay for making larger pieces is $6.00 per pound, including paints and firing. 

When you come to paint or glaze a piece of pottery or ceramics, you can expect to pick it up in about a week to ten days. We will apply a clear, shiny overglaze to your piece and fire it.  

When you have used the wheel or hand-built pieces, you may expect to pick it up in about two weeks. 

 

We always make a courtesy call to you when your pieces are ready for pick up. You will arrive to find your pieces wrapped and in a bag, to prevent their breaking. Please feel free to unwrap them and take a look before you leave. We love to hear the ooohs and aaahs.

Please understand that we only operate our kilns when we have full loads of glazed or clay products, due to the tremendous amount of electricity it uses. This condition accounts for the time it takes for us to return your pieces to you.

We hope you will find the joy and peace that comes from working with clay, one of mankind’s oldest endeavors.
