Paint Pottery
No Studio Fees, Just Fun Painting!
When you walk in to Arts & Glass, we’ll help you select your future masterpiece from a large offering of dinnerware, figurines, boxes, banks, decorative pieces and more.
The price on your piece includes all standard paints, use of tools, studio time, glazing and firing of your piece. There is no extra fee for studio time–you can even come back to finish your work another day for no extra charge! We want you to enjoy the art of ceramics, not worry about how long it’s taking you to finish it.
“But I’m Not Artistic”
We can’t wait to help you get started in creating a great piece, no matter your artistic skill. We have lots of painted samples and inspirational idea books in the store, or you can browse through our Pinterest Page to see ideas before you even get to the studio. You can even print out a picture at home and bring it in for us to show you how to trace a design right onto your project!
We have specialized brushes, stencils, stamps, sponges, toothbrushes and other funky tools to help you execute your design–all free for you to use.
For a finishing touch, we also offer custom text personalization. Not sure about your handwriting? Let us paint in the professional lettering for you!
Finally, if you still prefer us to do the painting for you, we offer reasonably-priced custom painting. This is a great option for wedding platters, signature plates, and special gifts. Additional time is required when ordering custom painting.
When Do I Get My Artwork Back?
Good things take time, and to ensure that your pottery gets the careful handling it deserves, we require one week to glaze and fire your piece. We’ll hold finished pottery for up to 30 days in case you can’t get back in right away. For an additional fee we can ship orders, so if you’re visiting (or have family visiting) from far away, don’t worry!
What is bisque?
Bisque is pottery made in a mold from clay that has been fired (heated) in a very hot oven called a kiln. You can then create your own unique design on the pottery using special paints called underglazes. The underglazes we use are non-toxic and food safe, so you can actually eat off of and drink out of your creations once they have been fired! To ensure a long life for your pottery, we do recommend caring for your finished pieces as you would fine China: hand-wash and do not place in oven or microwave.
Fuse Glass
What Is Glass Fusion?
Glass Fusion is the process of laying pieces of glass then melting them in a kiln to create unique and beautiful designs. At Arts & Glass, you can make all sorts of fused glass projects, from coasters and suncatchers to picture frames and bowls. Just choose the base shape of your piece, make your design using our extensive collection of beautifully colored glass, and we’ll fuse it together for you! Prices generally are determined by the size of your base piece.
Great For Beginners, Too!
You don’t have to be a master artist to enjoy glass fusing. We have plenty of finished samples and a great inspiration book to get you on your way to assembling your work, or you can even browse through our Pinterest Page to see ideas before you even come in. You can even print out a design at home and bring it in to slide under your glass base as a template. To help you assemble your artwork, we have many pre-cut pieces of glass, such as strips, squares, bits, and pebbles. Our staff can also show you how to cut your own glass safely to expand the possibilities of your design. We even have a selection of specialty glass to add finishing touches to your work like millefiori and glass paint. For our younger artists, we are developing a selection of pre-fused, kid-safe glass for making designs. We generally recommend glass fusion for ages 6 and up, though younger children can work one-on-one with an adult to fuse as well.
Board Art
Brand New!
Arts & Glass now offers Wooden Board Art at our Wine & Design nights! Come try this new project–we walk you through every step. You pre-order your design and we create a custom stencil for you to aid in painting your sign. Using our acrylic-based wood stains, you’ll get to paint and finish your design so it’s ready to take home the same night!
*Due to the use of permanent paints in this class, we highly recommend wearing clothes/shoes that you don’t mind getting paint on.
