Food and drinks are always welcome in the studio! While we don’t have a public freezer or refrigerator, you’re welcome to bring a cooler to store ice cream or other treats. We recommend painting first and then enjoying your food to avoid mixing food-covered fingers with unglazed pottery.
Please note: Alcoholic beverages are not allowed in the studio at this time.
