The Painted Pot

We are a paint your own pottery and glass fusing studio located in the historic downtown. We carry earthenware (ceramics) that is cleaned, fired, and ready for you to paint! All of our paints and glazes are lead free and non-toxic. Finished pieces are dinnerware safe, so you can create usable art. Paints, brushes, creative supplies, and instruction are included every time you come in. We also have all the glass necessary to create a beautiful piece.

Our customers come in all sizes and ages. Kids are old enough when they can hold a paint brush (we have high chairs) and adults are never too old. No experience with painting or art is necessary because our friendly staff is always here with creative ideas and the tools to make your project a success.

The Painted Pot is a great place to create unique, personalized gifts for any occasion, including

  • Birthdays
  • Weddings
  • Anniversaries
  • Graduation
  • Baby showers
  • Mother’s/Father’s/Grandparents’ Day
  • Holidays (Christmas, Easter, Valentine’s, St. Patty’s, Flag Day, etc.)
