FAQ's (Frequently Asked Questions)
Do I need to be an artist?
No, absolutely not! We have tons of sponges, stencils, stamps and technique books to help you create your piece. The studio is also always filled with lots of finished pieces to inspire you.
Do I need reservations?
We accept reservations for groups of 6 or more. For parties smaller than that, or individuals, we seat anytime on a first come, first serve basis.
How long does it take to paint a piece?
The paint time for an adult is usually 1 or 2 hours, children usually paint in 1 hour or less. Of course, this can vary depending on the size of the piece and the level of detail. If you do not finish your piece in one sitting we will gladly store your piece in our work-in-progress area for 30 days. You will be charged ½ of studio time each time you work on it. Pieces will be ready to pick up 1 week after they are finished.
Do you have any age restrictions?
No, any age will have a great time here at Kiln Creations.
Is it safe to eat or drink out of the pieces?
Yes, all of our paints and glazes are lead-free and all finished pieces are food safe.
Do ceramics and ceramic glazes contain lead?
Yes, there are still some ceramic glazes out there that contain small amounts of lead. We, however, are proud to say that all of our paints & glazes at Kiln Creations are completely non-toxic and lead free.
Are pieces dishwasher and/or microwave safe?
Your pieces are a hand painted work of art and sometimes irreplaceable (kid handprints) so we do not recommend putting them in the dishwasher or microwave.
I live out of town, can you ship finished pottery?
Unfortunately, the pottery pieces do take a week for us to glaze and fire. We can arrange for your pottery to be shipped to you when they are finished. The shipping charge starts at $10 per address and it will usually will arrive in about 2 weeks.
