Painting Session
Do I need to have any artistic skills or experience?
Not at all! The most important part of the session is for you to just relax, and enjoy the painting experience and the company you’re with, while creating a unique piece of work!
PotteryPlease! welcomes all skill-level artists of all ages, our friendly staff will be right there to assist and guide you in the process, ensuring a fun and stress-free painting experience!
What are underglazes?
Underglaze is a method of painting ceramic pottery pieces with the desired design before sealing the design with a transparent ceramic glaze and firing at a high temperature in a kiln.
Our studio uses non-toxic, water-based underglazes that are specifically used for ceramic pieces, it is not regular paint.
We have a selection of 24 underglazes and you're free to mix your own colours (with the existing colours) if you'd like!
Your experience at the studio will be using the underglazes, the firing will be done by us!
How long does it take to paint a pottery piece?
On average, painting a pottery piece takes around 1-1.5 hours, the time required varies depending on the size and the complexity of your chosen design.
Each of our studio sessions go for 1.5 hours. If you require more time, you may opt to extend your session for $5 per half an hour. Extensions are subjected to next slot's availability, our staff will advise accordingly.
What happens after I finish painting?
Once you have completed painting your pottery piece, you will leave your masterpieces with our friendly staff. We will glaze and fire the pottery over 1200 degrees in our kiln! After firing your masterpieces, they will be durable, functional, food-safe and vibrant in colour! It will also be dishwasher-safe.
When can I collect my fired pottery?
Every piece of pottery has to be fired at extremely high heat over 6-10 hours and require a full day to cool down before removing them from the kiln. The entire process for a batch takes about 27 hours!
Your finished masterpieces will be ready to collect in about 1-2 months, depending on the studio’s schedule. We will send you a WhatsApp message once it’s ready for collection.
