Vase Painting

HERE’S HOW IT WORKS

CREATE FUNCTIONAL ART!

STEP 1

PICK A PIECE OF POTTERY

There is so much to choose from at The Painted Potter, so this may be the most challenging part of your visit!

Prices are marked on each piece and includes paint and firing.

​

STEP 3

Choose your Colors

You only need to start with a little bit of paint so as not to waste any.

If you like a more solid finish, 3 coats of paint should come out without streaks. Anything less will be more transparent and streaky if you prefer that effect.

STEP 2

Decide on a Design

Plan your design or choose from some of our design binders. Use stencils and stamps or browse through our “technique
tiles.”

There’s lots of help at Clay Café with the creative process!

Use carbon paper and pencil very lightly to trace your image onto your piece or your piece may require 2 firings.

STEP 4

Now comes the fun part

Now is the fun part – you can sit down, relax, have fun, and paint away! Remember we are here to help, so if you need any suggestions or have questions about the effect of certain paint, or how many coats are needed, then call us over and we’re happy to assist. We also offer a variety of snacks and beverages for your visit.

STEP 5

We will fire em' up for you!

All done? Leave everything on the table. We will take care of the rest. Stop by the checkout desk and we will get your info so we can text you when they are ready for pick up. 

Running out of time? You don’t have to finish your piece in one sitting. We will hold your unfinished piece for 7 days. 

​

Just visiting? Be sure to ask us about shipping.

 

Then be sure to come back and paint again (it’s a healthy addiction, promise!). If you prefer to have a painting pottery activity at your home, office or school, ask us about a take Home Kit.
