Your session at a glance
Before you get started
Choose your ceramic
The name of the item and the price are highlighted. Check the item for chips before you make your decision.
Pick up the pallet and apron
Take a palette from the table and go to the paint wall. Try to avoid oily products like hand creams, as they can significantly affect the paint's adhesion.
Pay attention to the color samples
The small samples under each bottle show you the fired color with 1, 2, or 3 layers. This is your guide to the final result after firing.
Unpainted areas
Any areas you leave blank will emerge from the firing process with a glossy, creamy white finish. So be sure to plan your design with these areas in mind.
Mixing colors
You can mix colors however you like. Since the color changes during firing, the result may turn out slightly different than expected.
Primer
Some pieces need to be primed first. You can tell which ones they are by the label on the shelf.
While you're painting
Apply layers
Apply the paint in 1–3 thin coats. Let each coat dry before applying the next one. Three even coats provide the best coverage and depth of color.
Sketch it out first
Use the pencils on the table to sketch out your design. The lines will burn off in the kiln, so you won't see them on the finished piece.
Would you like a gold or
silver rim?
If you'd like a gold or silver border, please let our team know before you drop off your item.
Take what you need
Adhesive tape, extra brushes, and all the materials you need are laid out by the window. Help yourself—everything you need is right there so you can paint your dream ceramic piece.
Before you go
Label the item
Write your name and the date of your visit on the bottom. Use a pen, not a pencil. This will help us identify your piece after it’s been fired.
Register via QR code
Scan the code on the shelf and follow the instructions. This will allow us to clearly identify your pottery as yours after it has been fired.
Drop off an item
Place your finished pieces in the designated area below the paint wall.
Pay at the bar
Stop by our bar to pay. We'll check together to make sure your address is entered correctly.
We'll deliver it to you
We fire, glaze, and deliver to your home in about 2–3 weeks. Shipping is included for one address per table; each additional address costs CHF 10.
