Q. Where is Half Baked Pottery located?

A. We’re located at 918 Broad Ripple Avenue, between Brother’s bar and the Union Jack's. We are directly across from La Jolla, which is a bright yellow Mexican Restaurant.

Q. Where can I park? 

A. We share the parking lot with Union Jack's Pub (behind Union Jack's). You may park in any available space in the lot. If the lot is full, you street parking is conveniently located in front of the store. 

Q. How much does it cost?

A. Not a lot, and unlike going to the movies or the amusement park, after your visit you'll have something that you'll cherish the rest of your life. Studio time is regularly $8 or $6 for children 13 and under plus the cost of the piece. The prices of the pieces range from $4 to $50. You can find many wonderful items in the $12-$20 range.

Q. Do I need to be an artist?
A. No, absolutely not! We have tons of sponges, stencils, stamps and technique books to help you create your piece. The studio is also always filled with lots of finished pieces to inspire you. 

Q. How long does it take to paint a piece?
A. The paint time for an adult is usually 1 or 2 hours, children usually paint in 30 minutes to an hour. Of course, this can vary depending on the size of the piece and the level of detail. If you do not finish your piece in one sitting we will gladly store your piece in our work-in-progress area for 30 days. You will be charged a $4 return studio fee each time you work on it. Pieces will be ready to pick up 1 week after they are finished. 

Q. Do ceramics and ceramic glazes contain lead?
A. Yes, there are still some ceramic glazes out there that contain small amounts of lead; however we are proud to say that all of our paints & glazes are completely non-toxic and lead free. They are also made in the USA!

Q. Are pieces dishwasher and/or microwave safe?
A. Our manufacturers have assured us that all the pieces are dishwasher and microwave safe; however, please use your best judgement. Your piece is a hand painted work of art and may be irreplaceable (kid handprints). 

Q. I live out of town, can you ship finished pottery?
A. We can arrange for your pottery to be shipped to you when they are finished. The shipping charge starts at $12 per address and usually arrive in 2-3 weeks.

A. Yes, we can fire items and have them ready in 3 days. Half Baked Pottery will add a surcharge of $5.00 per piece for this service.

A. Yes, all of our glazes are lead free and nontoxic.

Q. Is this activity appropriate for small children?
A. Yes, it is indeed! Have your little ones express themselves. Many of our projects are easy to learn and simple to finish. Many parents and grandparents love projects that feature the children's handprints.
