Paint Your Own Pottery

The Bare Bowl

What to Expect

With over 20 years of pottery experience and more than a decade of teaching, our owner has built our approach around everything she’s learned—creating a supportive, confidence-building environment that works well for all ages.

When You Arrive
Our staff will greet you and ask if you have a reservation. You don’t need one, but just like a restaurant, there may be a short wait during busy times.

When You’re Seated
We’ll guide you through how everything works: painting tips, where to find supplies, which items have special instructions, and what to do when you’re finished.

When You’re Finished
Place your paint palettes, brushes, and water cups in the designated areas—our team takes it from there. Bring your items to the checkout counter, and we’ll gather your information for pickup.

Items are typically ready in about two weeks. You’ll receive a text with a photo link when your pieces are finished. Please check the photo to make sure the items are yours.

Please note: By providing your phone number when you visit Delaware Pottery Studios or The Bare Bowl, you consent to receive text messages related only to your pottery items. These texts are strictly for order updates, firing status, and pickup notifications.

We do not send promotional or marketing messages.

FAQ

  • Our costs are all-inclusive. Choose your perfect piece, and the price you see covers everything except for tax. No hidden fees, no surprises—just pure creative enjoyment!

  • For those living out of town or with busy schedules, we've got you covered! If you're unable to pick up your finished pottery at our studios, we offer a convenient shipping option for an additional fee. Sit back, relax, and we'll deliver your masterpiece right to your doorstep when it's ready!

  • If you're using our Mayco Stroke and Coats paints to create your masterpiece, you can use the painted pieces for their intended purpose. Sip from that beautifully painted mug or savor a meal in your hand-painted bowl. However, please note that for our "Make and Take" events, we use acrylic paint and seal it with a glossy finish. As these items are not glazed, they are meant for decorative purposes only and should not be used for functional activities.
