What is the age limit?                               
There is no age limit.  We welcome kids of all ages, especially adults who are kids at heart!   Lots of  parents like to capture their children's  and infant's prints on pottery. These make great gifts for family and friends! We do ask that all children under the age of 13 be supervised.

Paints are non-toxic, safe for painting on skin and easy to wash off!

What does it cost to make something at Studio 12?
Our prices are all inclusive, this means that the prices marked on the pottery and mosaics include the cost of all materials including firing.   Prices vary depending on the size of the pottery. There are a lot of   projects to choose from in the $15.00 to $35.00 price range.

How long does it take to do a project at Studio 12?
With young children it depends on their attention span, but we find that the average person spends about an hour and a half painting one piece of pottery and about the same time or less to do a mosaic.  You are welcome to take your piece home with you and bring it back the next day to finish, we have take  home kits available which comes complete with brushes and colors so you can paint anywhere!

Do we need reservations?  If you have a group of 8 or more then we do recommend reservations.  On rainy days it is a good ideal to come early or to call ahead to reserve a time slot.

Are the dishes safe to eat from?
After the pieces have been fired they are completely safe to eat from.  The under-glaze colors and glazes are non-toxic.

Are the dishes microwave and dishwasher safe?
Yes, All our pottery is dishwasher and microwave safe.  We recommend hand washing.

Can I take my pottery home that day?
 No. All ceramic and glass projects must be fired in the kiln. This process takes about two -three days.  Mosaics can be taken home the same day.

What if I am leaving town before my pottery is done with firing?
We are happy to ship via priority mail.  The shipping prices depends on the cost of the pottery and does include insurance. 

What is Bisque pottery and Under-glazes?
Bisque is the term used to refer to pottery that is used in contemporary ceramic studios, as opposed to greenware which is the kind of pottery you would see on a potters wheel, before it was fired.  Bisque is white since it has been fired once to prepare it for the under-glaze colors.

Under-Glazes are the "paints" used to decorate the pottery.  For accuracy we refer to these colors as under-glazes since they are distinct from water color or oil paints that painters use.
