We had so much fun painting pottery today! My husband (a self-proclaimed non-artist) used acrylics to paint a dish. And I used glazes to paint a planter. The staff are very helpful, explaining all the procedures, offering advice, and answering any questions. Don't expect it to be quick and easy, unless you plan on using only one color. You will need multiple coats of glaze, and probably want to make designs or decorations on your creation.
