Ready for some much needed self care or art therapy with friends and family? You probably have some questions, so here is some basic information to get you started.
COST – The cost of your pottery adventure will be the studio fee $8/per painter along with the cost of the pieces. Pieces range in price from around $17 and up. Please note - a gratuity of 15% is added to groups of 6 or more painters.
PARKING - Thompson's Point lots are private pay to park lots that charge a small fee. You will need to use the pay and display system or the passport parking app. You can start with an hour and add more time as needed. We highly recommend the app so you can add more time from your table! We do not own or operate these lots so any questions can be directed to Thompson's Point.
TIME – The time it takes to paint depends largely on piece and design choice. We recommend allowing around an hour for children and between an hour and a half to two hours for adults.
RESERVATIONS - while we do not accept reservations for 4 or less, they are recommended for groups of 5 or more painters by calling ahead to (207) 536-4848 or booking online. You can also try your luck at finding tables together if you decide to drop in.
PARTIES/GROUPS - Any organized painting events can be booked by clicking on our "book a party" tab.
WALK-IN PAINTING - We are always OPEN for all walk-in painters!
NON-PAINTERS? Please note we cannot accommodate more than 1 or 2 non painters per group. Our studio gets fairly busy at times so it's not possible to accommodate many bystanders.
PLEASE NOTE IT TAKES 7 DAYS FOR US TO GLAZE AND FIRE YOUR CREATIONS. WE CAN HOLD PIECES UP TO 1 MONTH ONLY! AFTER THAT (AND A REMINDER CALL), ALL ITEMS WILL BE DISCARDED UNLESS AN EXTENSION OR SHIPPING ARRANGEMENTS HAVE BEEN MADE.
******************************
FOOD/BEVERAGE ETIQUETTE - You are welcome to bring in snacks/drinks (alcoholic & non) but PLEASE DO NOT BRING IN LUNCHES/DINNERS unless it's already been cleared as part of a party booking.
