Located in the city of Flowood, serving Hinds, Rankin, Madison counties and beyond since 2007! We are a great place for date nights, play groups, family time and taking a break to relax and spend quality time with your people. Enjoy petting the 3 sweet studio Cats in residence. Just don't pick them up! They are all health rescues some with hidden disabilities so they are most comfortable walking the studio on their own.

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 up to a week.
The ready date is posted on our wall and will also be on your receipt.
You may paint your pottery with our acrylics instead and take it home the same day.
