Pottery Painting
Come in, sit back, and create a delightful masterpiece
Step
1
Choose the piece of pottery that you would like to paint. We have over 700 different items to choose from including cups, plates, bowls, useful household/kitchen items and a great range of fun kids pieces.
Step
2
Decide on the design. We have painted exmples all around the studio plus stencils, stamps and idea books.
Step
3
Select your paint. We have over 50 colors to choose from and we do not limit you to the number of colors you may use. We also have some specialty glazes, which can be purchased separately, if you are looking for something even more unique.
Step
4
Paint your piece, relax and let life’s pressures disappear for a while. We do not charge an hourly studio fee so take as much time as you like.
Step
5
Leave your piece with us and we will overglaze it and fire it in our kilns. This will make it food, microwave and dishwasher safe.
Step

A week later come back and pick up your finished masterpiece. The pick up times may vary dependent on how busy the studios have been. Pick up information is always displayed on the front counter in each studio at time of checkout.
Make it in Clay!
AFU is now offering hand building from wet clay in studio sessions.
- We have several project samples to choose from, including stamped or carved plaques, ornaments, clay critters, vases, pots, and hand or footprint impressions.
- AFU team members will give you basic instruction and design tools to get you started. You will then complete the project on your own. This is not a taught class. You come in and create on our own.
- Cost is $30 per project which includes one pound of clay, use of tools, paint, bisque firing, and glaze firing.
Extra clay may be purchased for $10/pound. - You can make and paint your clay project the same day or make your project, we fire to bisque, then you come back to paint it at a later date. We will then fire it for you to come back and pick up approximately 2 weeks later.
- We suggest making a reservation, but you may come in any time to get your hands in the mud and play in the clay! If you have a group of 6 or more wanting to do clay, please call the studio to book.
- We do not offer clay party packages or clay classes at this time. Our clay option is on your own. If you are interested in a taught class or party, please contact the studio for more information.
