Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
- Can I book The Clay Studio for a private event?
-
Yes. The Clay Studio is occasionally available to rent for birthday parties and special occasions for $95 per hour. If you wish to paint pottery, a per item/per-person fee is also applied.
- Can I learn to make my own pottery?
-
Yes. Our resident Clay Artist offers instruction in clay hand building and wheel throwing. Sessions are one hour long and you will learn several techniques. Call 251-981-ARTS (2787) for more details.
- Can I paint already finished pieces of pottery?
-
Yes. We offer Pick-n-Paint for $35 and up, per item. Call for a reservation at 251-981-ARTS (2787).
- How long does a piece of pottery take to complete?
-
If you paint an already finished piece, you may retrieve your item within 24 to 48 hours.
If you sculpt your own piece, it will take between 1 to 3 days to dry, then it takes 1 to 2 days to fire it in the kiln; you can return to glaze your piece at this point. It is then fired in the kiln for a second time (which also takes 1 to 2 days). You may pick up the finished product after approximately 7 to 10 business days from your start date. We can also ship your pieces to you.
- When is the Clay Studio open?
-
The Clay Studio is open Monday through Friday from 9 am to 4 pm.
