Frequently Asked Questions

What should I wear?

Please wear comfortable clothes which can be machine washed. You will be provided with an apron, however, you may still get paint or other materials on you so it’s a good idea to wear something you are ok with getting a bit messy!
Please note, some of the acrylic paints do not wash as easily, please do not wear any nice clothing.
The studio floor can be cold, please bring indoor shoes with hard soles, for glass classes, closed-toed shoes must be worn for your safety.

How do I enter the studio?

The studio is located in the basement level of my home in Southeast Calgary, when you arrive, ring the door bell and we will escort you down to start creating!
Note: there are pets in the home, although they are not allowed in the studio, if you have allergies or sensitivities, please let me know so we can make arrangements.

What is the minimum/maximum number of people for the studio and parties?

Studio - no minimum (one-on-ones are available!), maximum 10 people, depending on the activity.

Are we able to bring our own food & beverages?

We have a full kitchen at the studio which can be used for catering or snacks, alcohol is not permitted in the studio without a liqueur license.
For events and home parties, we encourage you to make a night of it with food and drinks! Please note, all people consuming alcohol must be 18+, for events held in public spaces, liquor licenses and applicable permits must be presented.

How long are the classes/activities?

Our activities range in time from 1.5 hours to 3 hours. If you have a tight schedule to keep for your event, let us know and we can plan accordingly!

Is there a time limit for parties and events?

There is no time limit, the key is to have fun and unleash your creative side!
For events taking place in the studio, please note the studio closes at 11:00 pm, exceptions may be made, contact us for more details.

What happens if I run out of time and don't finish my project?

Studio fees are included in the price so please schedule another time to come back and complete your project. I’m happy to create with you!
Some projects require more than one visit to the studio, for example pottery wheel and hand-building classes require two separate visits. The first visit is when you create the piece from clay. The piece will need time to air dry (1-2 weeks), then it will be bisque fired and the second visit is when the glazing (coloring) takes place.
You have up to 90 days after your class to come back to glaze your piece. Please call to schedule your glazing session. Arrangements can be made to glaze your pottery, additional charges will apply. But to be clear, glazing is fun and you’ll miss out on the full experience!

Do I need previous experience?

Absolutely not! We will provide you with step by step instructions for all services and offer assistance when needed.

How long does it take to get my art once I have created it?

How do I pick up my art?

You can drop in anytime for pick up provided you let me know ahead of time. I will have a pick up box out front or will be home to greet you with your special project personally.
The studio has very limited space, so if your piece has not picked up after 90 days from the time you are notified, it will find a new “home”. Please call if you have special circumstances.
Arrangements can be made for delivery at an extra cost.
