Frequently asked questions
How does a visit work?

What does it cost?
See examples of prices and objects under “Prices“.
How long do I have to pick up my finished item?
We are often short of space so please collect your items as soon as possible. However, we will save your items for at least 3 months from the time they were fired, after which we consider them abandoned and they may not be saved.
What happens if I don’t have time to finish painting?
If you don’t have time to finish painting your item, you can come back and finish it another day. We will then charge a fee of 50 SEK/person. If you when you return choose to paint another item as well, you don’t have to pay the fee.
How old do you have to be to come?
We have no age limit, but we want everyone to have a peaceful and enjoyable experience, so we ask that adults be responsible for their children’s behavior when they are in our studio. By doing so, we can maintain a friendly and welcoming environment for everyone.
Do you need to be good at painting?
Absolutely not! We have tools and fun techniques that you can use to get amazing results without having any artistic ability at all. Also, feel free to check out our Pinterest for inspiration!
When is it busiest and when is there less people in the studio?
On Saturdays we are often fully booked in the afternoon, but often less people in the morning.
Early afternoon on weekdays are generelly the best time to come if you want to enjoy a quiet painting session.
Can I use the items for food and drink? Can I put them in the microwave and dishwasher?
Most of our glazes allow contact with food and drinks, but some of our specialty glazes are not recommended for this due to the surface structure.
The objects you paint are earthenware and will last longest if they are hand-washed and not heated in the microwave.
