That Painting Spot

A Do-It-Yourself Art Studio for Everyone! Paint Your Own Pottery-Canvas Painting-Glass Fusion-Clay

At That Painting Spot, we like to keep things simple. The price on the shelf is the complete price you pay — no studio fees.

Here’s how easy it is to create your own masterpiece:

1. Pick out a piece of preformed unglazed pottery (called bisque) that you would like to paint. Prices are marked on the shelf and typically run from about $7 up to $60 (maybe a little more for a giant platter). We have lots to choose from — from useful cups and large platters to all kinds of animals and fantasy figures.

2. Go to the the Paint Bar and pick out your colors. We have Vanilla Dip (white) and Tuxedo (black) and almost every color in between, so go wild. Also, pick the brushes you will need from our large assortment.

3. Get to work. One of our Studio Consultants will help you get comfortable at a table. Fee free to ask for any advice or how to use or stencils, sponges, writers or other special techniques. We also have paper and pencil available if you want to sketch out your design before starting to paint.

4. When you are finished painting, let us know and we will move your artwork to a safe drying area.

5. When your painted bisque is completely dry, we still have work to do. We will glaze your artwork and then let it dry again. Next we will load it in our kiln and fire it. Temperatures in our kilns reach nearly 2000 degrees Fahrenheit. It will take at least another day to cool off after firing. Your masterpiece will be ready to be picked up in about a week.

Pick a piece of pottery from our huge selection of fun and beautiful bisque. And if you have a special request, just let us know and we’ll work hard to get it for you.

Our Art Studio Assistants will help you with creative ideas and tips and you are welcome to use our large assortment of design aids like stencils, sponges and stamps.

Leave your masterpiece with us and we’ll glaze it and fire it in our kilns. It will be ready to go home with you in about a week.
