• 🎨 Pottery Painting & Glazing Class – Let’s Get Fired Up! 🔥

   

  Ready to turn plain pottery into colorful, glossy, food-safe masterpieces? In our Pottery Painting & Glazing Class, you get to pick your favorite bisque-fired piece from our collection and bring it to life with bold colors, fine detail, and your own creative flair!

   

  🖌️ What to Expect
  Our friendly and experienced instructors will walk you through techniques for layering colors, adding patterns, and mastering the magic of glaze. You don’t need any prior experience—just a love for creativity and a willingness to get a little messy!

   

  ✨ Why Glaze?
  Glazing isn’t just about looks—it transforms your pottery into a glossy, durable, microwave-safe, oven-safe, and fully food-safe piece of art! Once you’re done painting, we’ll fire your piece at a blazing 2,000°F to lock in your design permanently.

   

  📅 Pick-Up Policy
  Your finished masterpiece will be ready for pick-up three weeks after your class. We’ll hold your piece for 60 days—after that, any unclaimed works may be recycled or donated to make room for new creations.

   

  🚨 Please Note: Registration is final. No refunds or reschedules after signing up.
