Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost?

What is this all about?                                                                                                                                           Painting your own pottery is one of the most relaxing things you can do. In our hectic world, sometimes you just need to sit down with some friends and family, have some conversation, and create something for your home, for your loved ones, or just for the shear joy of creating. We at Bisque It Studio want to do everything we can to help you have some quality time.

How long does it take?
We guarantee your piece will be finished in one week.  Sometimes we run ahead of schedule and can have pieces done in 4 or 5 days.  We will let you know what our schedule is when you check-out.  During holidays and high-volume times, rush fees will be an option to have your piece done a little quicker.

Why does is take a week?
After you paint your piece, it has to dry a full day.  Then we have to dip each piece in our clear glaze which takes another full day to dry.  Once the clear glaze is dry, we load pieces into one of our kilns on-site.  Once in the kiln, the firing & cooling takes another day and a half.

Do you make pottery on wheel?                                                                                                                       We do Not make pottery in our studio.

I'm not very creative, how can you help me?
We have all sort of tools and tricks to get your creative juices flowing.  We also have a ton of samples and idea books to copy from.  Stamps, stencils and other tools are the tricks of the trade and we will show you how to use them.

Will you call me when my piece is ready?
Unfortunately, due to the volume of pieces we are not able to call everyone when their items are done.  On your sales receipt a pick-up date is clearly noted, and you are always welcome to call us to check on your masterpiece.

I won't be able to pick up my item next week, how long will you keep it for me?                                                                                                                                                                                                   We will keep your item on the pick-up shelf for 30 days.  After that 30 day period the piece becomes property of Bisque It Studio and we will keep it for display or donate it to charity.
