Let me introduce myself....

We are a paint your own pottery, and glass fusing studio in Houston! We opened in 2003, and just celebrated our 10th anniversary. You can come in to our studio, and paint pottery, or play with fused glass.
We started out doing paint your own pottery. We carry mugs, animals, banks, plates, bowls, platters, jewelry boxes, pitchers, picture frames, vases, and much more. You come in pick out a raw piece of bisque, paint and decorate it, using our array of brushes, stamps, and sponges. We also have dozens of idea books, and a way to trace almost anything onto the piece. Once, you are done, you leave it with us while we hand glaze and fire it, which takes a week. After it's fired, the pottery is food safe, and useable.

About 2 years ago, we added glass fusing to our offerings. This was inspired by my visit to Murano, Italy. Glass fusing is the art of cutting, and breaking colored glass, and arranging it onto a "base" in any design of the artist's choosing. It can be something copied, or something abstract. The possibilities are endless! Once the artist has decorated, and glued their glass to their base, we fire it in the kiln. Glass pieces are first fired into a full"fuse" and then "slumped into a mold. We can fuse and slump our customers pieces into dozens of shapes such as: bowls, plates, platters, clocks, crosses, neacklace pendants, vases, candy dishes, candleholders, and more!

We accept walk ins during any business hours, or you can schedule a group if it's 8 or more people. We host kids and adults birthdays, baby, and bridal showers, scout troops, women's groups, and Corporate team building. You could also join one of our classes. Every Friday night, we hold an Intro To Glass Class. Every holiday, we have kid's camps. We also do Ladies Nights every few months. We hold field trips for schools, and do dozens of projects for school auctions each year.
To help you celebrate, we allow legal adults to bring in wine and beer, and anyone can bring in, or order in food.
Come on in, and have a good time  creating. You need not to be an artist to have fun. Our friendly, and helpful staff with assist you every step of the way!
