Party Info Part II

Party-to-go information

Want to take your pottery party home? Now you can with the Party*To*Go Box!

Box includes paints, brushes, palettes - everything you need! You select the pieces to paint - you decide the cost of the party!

Great for classroom parties, church groups, spend-the-night parties and more!

With the box you get basic instructions so you'll know everything you need to create masterpieces. Bring the items back, and we'll glaze and fire everything. You pick it up in a week.

This is a great option when you want to have an after-hours party, but don't have a group large enough to meet our after-hours requirements.

Also great for trips to the beach or lake, or when bad weather threatens us with power-outages!

Party Info Part I

Parties are scheduled for an hour and a half. You may decide younger children need less time.  On Saturdays, we schedule parties from 10:30-noon, 1-2:30 and 3:30-5 p.m. We are more flexible on other days of the week.

Types of Parties Offered

Tie-Dye T-shirts - Groovy! Fabulous, nearly-no-mess tie-dying. Shirt goes home the day of the party.  $12 per person for youth-sized t-shirts, $15 per person for adult sizes. Minimum of 10.

Mosaic -  Select a plaque to decorate, and we*ll guide you through the ancient art of mosaic. All supplies, including the grout, are included. Project goes home the day of the party. Prices begin at $16. Minimum of 8.

Paint-Your-Own Pottery - A really nice project for kids of all ages. Once items are glazed and fired in the kiln, they are food safe and dishwasher safe. Please note that since pottery must be fired in the kiln, all items must be  picked up at a later date by the birthday party coordinator. There is a minimum of 10 for all pottery parties.

Options for Paint-Your-Own Pottery parties include:

Critters & Collectibles - The birthday child picks from "top shelf" items, while his or her friends pick from the lower shelves. Great  for boys and girls, with lots of great items topick from. $12.50 each.

Ice Cream Bowl - They all scream for ICE CREAM! Everyone creates a bowl they can use! This is a great project for kids of all ages, boys and girls. $12.50 a person (these bowls are regularly $15).

Plaque with Add-On - Perfect for older kids and especially popular with "tweens." At this party each guest creates a one-of-a-kind  plaque that is personalized with an add-on the guest chooses.       $15 per person.

A $25 deposit is required at the time the party is reserved. A party is not reserved until this fee is paid. This is non-refundable.

Once you have made your reservation, you may reschedule one time. Please give a minimum of 7 days' notice. If you reschedule within 7 days, you may be charged $25. If you cancel, there is NO REFUND of your deposit. 

For after-hour parties, there is a fee of $25 PLUS there must be $100 spent for every hour you wish the store to be open, with a minimum of two hours (e.g.  2 hours = $200, 3 hours = $300, etc.). You may have 15 minutes to set up and 15 minutes to clean up, which is not included in the time charge.
