Looking to paint pottery? It’s the perfect activity to do with kids and in the cold winter months when you’re about to go stir-crazy if you don’t leave your house 😉
How does pottery painting work?
- Pick the piece you want to paint
- Choose the colors you’d like to use
- Grab a brush
- Paint until your heart’s content
- Pick your piece up at a later date after it’s been glazed & fired in the kiln
And the best part, there’s no experience necessary.
Check out these local pottery painting studios that have open-studio hours and paint party options:
Designing Dish

At Designing Dish, you can come in anytime during their open studio hours, pick out your piece and start painting. If you’d rather paint at home, they offer a “pottery to go” option, where you pick out your supplies, paint your piece at home, and then bring the piece back to get fired in the kiln

Personal Notes:
Mariah: I’ve personally been to Designing Dish quite a few times and always have a blast. My nieces (ages 8 & 11) really love going too! We were there when there was a birthday party going on and it looked like an awesome idea for kids.
