Pricing

How we charge is the piece + studio fee. Each piece is marked with a number, and the studio fee is half of that number. The studio fee covers paint, glazing, and firing.

Prices of our pieces range from $6 to $60, with our most popular pieces (mugs, plates, bowls, kids pieces) ranging around $12 to $16. Those prices are for the pieces before the studio fee.
