  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

  ✨ 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.

This firing process transforms your artwork into microwave-safe, oven-safe, and completely food-safe pottery.

We do not provide parking. 

Parking is all paid street parking and can be limited. We highly suggest using public transportation, Being prepared to park and walk a couple blocks, Or use an Uber. Our classes start 10 minutes after the prepared time. And we will not take walk-ins that are late 30 minutes or more. There is a rescheduled fee of $15 per ticket if you are late and if you would like to transfer to a different class at another time. Thank you for your understanding. We want to ensure that everyone gets the amount of class time that they are paying for and taking walk-ins after 30 minutes is not productive for anyone.

Each class is two hours. If your class starts at 5:30, please be off of the wheel or the table by 7:30. As we have another class that takes place at that time. Please feel free to contact me if you have any further questions. We truly hope you enjoy your class at color cocktail factory. IF YOU STAY PAST YOUR TIME AND YU ARE STILL ON THE WHEEL PAST THE TIME ALLOTTED AND ASKED TO LEAVE WE WILL CHARGE YOUR CARD 50$ without warning per person per hour

Please note that registration is a firm commitment to attend the class. NO REFUND NO RESCHEDULING AFTER REGISTRATION!
