FAQ’s

  • Our studio is located in the beautiful downtown area of Bellbrook. The studio entrance is right off W Walnut St. (Behind the Bellbrook Museum) We have a variety of parking options that are only a quick 30 seconds from our front door. Click here to view options

  • Probably the most asked and the hardest to answer as cost depends on projects picked. Pottery projects start at $12. We find that $26 will allow you to choose from a wide range from our projects such as plates, bowls and mugs to figurines, banks, and boxes. We then have large options from serving trats or season that can reach close to $100.

  • There is no studio fee during our Open Studio hours. Any appointment or table reservation outside of these hours will be charged a flat fee of $10 reservation fee.

  • This all varies from person to person, on the detail of design, & so many other variables! We always think it is a good idea to give yourself at least an hour to an hour and a half to complete most pottery painting projects.

  • Short answer: 1-4 weeks
    Long answer: It all depends on what you have made! Some of our workshops have projects that can be taken home the day of and others may need to be fired in a kiln multiple times and take up to 4 weeks to pick up. For clarification on a workshop’s project timeline, check the event details or contact us!

  • Ceramics is all about trial and error. If your pottery breaks in the firing process, we will contact you and offer different ways to make it right. (Remake your piece, choosing in-store credit, ex.) But don’t stress, most projects make it through the firing process without a hitch!

  • We hold work for 30 days after we contact you that it is ready for pick up. At the end of your 30-day timeframe, we contact you one last time as a reminder. However, it is always good to call and see if your work is still hiding about’ our studio.

  • Unfortunately, we cannot offer shipping at this time.

  • Most classes and workshops are required to pay in full at the time of booking. This reserves your spot and allows us to collect the materials needed to instruct your event!

    The only events not required to pay in full when booking are private lessons and parties, however a down deposit is always required.
