walk-in crafts: ceramics
The art of ceramics and pottery goes back more than 30,000 years, to a time when our Stone Age ancestors discovered how to bake clay figurines or vessels in bonfires or simple kilns. Today, through the use of improved clay and glazes, it is easy for even a complete beginner to produce an outstanding piece of art.
It is easy to create a beautiful, long-lasting pottery piece:
-
Choose an item from our large selection of ceramic (bisqueware) pieces - we have more than 300 unique items from which to choose, including: mugs, kitchenware, tableware, trinket boxes, figurines, pet accessories, decorative items, frames and more.
-
Our Idea Center is stocked with stencils, stamps, sponges, and idea books for inspiration to help you design your piece.
-
Using your choice of over 60 different colors, you can brush, stencil or stamp your design onto the bisqueware.
-
We glaze and fire your completed piece and have it ready for pickup approximately five days later.
You'll find that painting ceramics offers you the chance to socialize, or to just have some quiet time. We find it very therapeutic!
Or, grab a handful of our Longhorn white clay and build your own bisque pieces? This project will require a second trip to paint after your initial bisque firing, but the end result can be something super cool.
