About the Studio:

Kil’n Time is a paint-your-own-pottery studio. Visitors can paint a variety of ceramics and staff then glaze and fire it in a kiln. You then pick your completed project up in a week.

They offer hundreds of pieces to paint – from kid’s piggy banks and figurines to sophisticated dinnerware. Their self-serve paint bar has every color you’ll need to complete your masterpiece. Need some inspiration? They have stamps, stencils, idea books and special glazes to help you out. No reservation is needed, except for groups of 10 or more.

In addition to painting pottery, they offer a fused glass studio where you can create glass pendants, nightlights and more. A resident artist gives you tutorial and then you can let your inner artist loose. Adult fused glass classes are held Thursday from 6-8 p.m.

If you and a group of friends are searching for something to do, try a canvas class. Create your painting masterpiece while sipping your favorite bottle of wine (byob). Classes happen every Thursday and Friday night from 6-9 p.m.

They also offer birthday parties and field trips, kid’s art classes and more. Kid’s classes, including canvas, fused glass and pottery painting, are held Saturdays from 1:30-3:30 p.m.

All the display pieces in the store are available for sale.

Cost: Items begin at $5 (plus $15 studio fee).
