Paint Your Own Pottery

No appointment is needed to paint your own ceramics at our central Mississippi studio, just walk in & paint. Our table seat up to 6 people total, please call ahead to reserve our large table or book one of our event rooms. No separate studio, paint or firing fees for our large selection of ready to paint pottery bisque priced as marked.  Prices start at $1 for our fridge magnet sized earthenware ceramics.  Many beautiful ornaments, mugs, plates and figurines for $10, $15 & $20. See our Menu for more pricing information.
 

HOW IT WORKS
 You pick out a ceramic, we seat you at a table then you use our brushes, glazes and tools to make your design come to life!  We put your name and the year on the base of your artwork, dry it, apply a clear glaze, dry it again then and fire it in our kilns to 1835f.      

This process takes about a week. You may paint your pottery with our acrylics instead and take it home the same day. 
Cats are in residence at the Flowood studio!
