Choose from Three Options

• $5 for a 5-visit studio punch card (a $35 value)
• $10 for a 10-visit studio punch card (a $70 value)
$7 for $15 worth of paint-your-own pottery

The punch card covers a studio fee of $7, which includes use of the facilities, unlimited paint and glaze, and firing. It does not include the cost of pottery. From a selection of more than 150 different ceramic bisques, visitors can paint items such as mugs and plates ($12–$15), figurines ($6–$14), and picture frames ($15+). Garnering inspiration from a stack of idea books and using stamps, stencils, sponges, and brushes, visitors can decorate their creations with any of 60 different glazes. Once pieces are finished, studio assistants will glaze and fire the ceramics, which will be ready to claim in about a week.

The Potters’ Obsession

Sponges and brushes glide across unfinished works of art beneath shelves brimming with more than 150 forms and 60 glazes at The Potters’ Obsession. Visitors thumb through inspiration books and wield stencils to color and paint mugs, bowls, and Gumby when he is going into witness protection. In the art-dappled space, warmth bleeds from a kiln, where the staff completes pieces and locks glazes into a sleek finish. The Potters’ Obsession also hosts special events, birthday parties, and painting packages to help Girl Scouts and Brownies to earn art badges.
