Good Questions, Real Answers

Frequently asked questions

Everything you might want to know before your first visit to our Park City studio — prices, firing, pick-up, parties and more. Can't find your answer? Call us, we love to talk.

Visiting the studio
Where is Paint Fusion located?+

We're in Junction Commons Mall at 6699 N Landmark Dr, Ste M105, Park City, Utah 84098 — an open-air, outdoor shopping center right off I-80, with free storefront parking right outside our front door.

What are your hours?+

Monday through Saturday we're open 11 AM – 7 PM, and Sundays noon – 6 PM. Morning and closing times can shift, as well as holiday closures, so please call the studio beforehand at 435-575-6463.

Do I need a reservation?+

Nope — walk in whenever we're open and start creating. Reservations are only needed for parties and groups, which you can book right here on the site.

How long does a visit take?+

Most people spend an hour or two painting a piece. There's no time limit and no rush — stay as long as you like while we're open.

Do I need any art experience?+

Not a bit. Most of our guests have never painted pottery before. Our staff will walk you through everything, and our Creativity Center is stacked with stencils, sponges, stamps and finished samples for inspiration.

Is it fun for adults, or just kids?+

Both — and everyone in between. On any given day you'll find toddlers painting their first mug, date-night couples, teens, and grown-ups glazing dinnerware for their own kitchens.

Pottery painting
How much does it cost?+

There's a studio fee of $10 for adults (13 and older) and $6 for kids 12 and under, plus the price of the pottery piece you pick — pieces start at just $3 and go up from there. No hidden charges for paint, tools or firing.

What can I paint?+

Our shelves hold more than 100 ready-to-paint ceramic pieces: mugs, plates and bowls, kid's themes, figurines, trinket boxes, kitchen items, home décor and giftable pieces.

What happens after I paint?+

Leave your piece with us and we'll dip it in clear glaze and fire it in our kiln. That's what turns it into a glossy, bright, one-of-a-kind ceramic piece — the magic happens at a temperature no home oven can reach.

When can I pick up my finished piece?+

Pieces are kiln-fired in-house and ready to pick up in a few days — or the next day as a rush fire if you ask. Staying at a hotel without a car? We bag everything up for Uber Courier or the courier of your choice. We hold everything for 30 days from the date on your receipt (or longer if you ask); after that we may choose to donate unclaimed pieces to charity.

Is the finished pottery food safe?+

Yes. Once your piece is glazed and kiln-fired, plates, mugs and bowls are completely food safe — use and enjoy them every day.

Are the paints safe for kids?+

Absolutely. Our glazes are non-toxic and water based, so they're safe for even the smallest artists. For tiny hands we suggest simple pieces with plenty of grown-up help.

What if I don't like how it turns out?+

Don't stress — it's nearly impossible to ruin a piece. Our staff happily share technique tips as you go, and finished pieces always look brighter and bolder after glazing and firing than they do wet.

Glass fusing
How is glass fusing different from pottery painting?+

With pottery you add color to the surface of an already-formed piece. With glass fusing you build the piece itself — cutting and layering colored glass, which we melt together in the kiln, then slump into a shape like a bowl or plate in a second firing.

How much does a glass fusing class cost?+

The class fee is $35 per person and covers both firings — the first firing that fuses your design into a solid piece, and the second slumping firing that shapes it into a bowl, plate or platter should you choose. The cost of the glass you use is separate and added on top of the $35 class fee.

What can I make?+

Popular projects include pendants, platters, plates, sushi dishes, coasters and suncatchers. You'll design with sheet glass in a rainbow of colors and opacities, plus stringers, frit, pebbles and iridescent glass.

When will my glass piece be ready?+

Glass pieces are kiln-fired after your class and are typically ready to pick up within one to two weeks — unless you came with a larger group, which can take a little longer.

Is glass fusing safe for kids?+

Yes, with adult supervision, but it's typically suited to older children, teens, and adults. Because glass fusing involves scoring tools and handling cut glass, younger children are welcome to participate when working directly alongside an adult, or they can enjoy painting pottery instead.

Parties & groups
How do I book a party?+

Use the Book Now button to pick your day and a 90-minute time window, pay the deposit, and you're set. You can also call 435-575-6463 and we'll help you plan.

Do I need a reservation to paint pottery?+

Nope — walk-ins are always welcome! If you'd like a table guaranteed when you arrive, you can reserve one online for $25. It goes toward your final total, there's no time limit during open hours, and it's fully refundable with at least 24 hours' notice — just call the studio at 435-575-6463 to cancel or reschedule.

How does the deposit work?+

Birthday and group parties require a $25 deposit and corporate events $100. Deposits are fully refundable up to 72 hours (3 days) before your event — unless we've already pre-purchased special goodies you asked us to grab for your party — and are applied to your final purchase on the day of your event. If you need to change your plans, you're more than welcome to move your reservation to a new date and time — your original deposit will still apply to that change.

How do I cancel or reschedule a booking?+

Please call the studio at 435-575-6463. Bookings can't be canceled online, by email, or through the website chat — calling makes sure we actually catch it and can handle your deposit right away.

How many people can you host?+

We can accommodate groups of up to 50 guests — great for birthdays, team celebrations, showers, scout troops and office outings.

When can parties be held?+

Parties run in 90-minute windows: 11 AM through 7 PM Monday to Saturday, and noon through 6 PM on Sundays. We leave a 30-minute gap between events so your group never feels crowded. If you need more than 90 minutes, just call us at 435-575-6463 and we'll do our best to extend your time if the schedule allows.

What should we budget per guest?+

Every guest simply pays the regular studio fee ($10 adults 13 and older, $6 kids 12 and under) plus whatever piece they choose, starting at $3. Your deposit comes off the group's total.

Is there a party fee?+

Parties have no big studio rental fees that can run hundreds of dollars — just a 10% party fee on the group's total purchase — and it's the best money you'll spend. Our team takes care of all the mess: food, gift wrappings, tables, floors and more, so you never clean up after your celebration.

Paint at home & the store
Can I paint pottery at home?+

Coming soon! Our paint-at-home kits are on the way — you'll be able to paint on your own couch, then bring the piece back for glazing and firing. Call 435-575-6463 and we'll let you know the moment they're available.

Do you sell finished ceramics?+

We do. Alongside the paint-your-own studio, we carry finished pottery and ceramics that are ready to take home the same day — perfect for gifts.

Can I buy a gift for a painter?+

Of course. Gift certificates are available to purchase — call 435-575-6463 and we'll help you put something together.
