FAQ

What can I do at the Art Factory?

We have open studio time where you can paint, draw, underglaze bisque-ware, or work with clay. We also have several classes, and we’re always adding more. Be sure to check out the “For the Kiddos” or “Art Explorers” if you’re looking for things to do with your kids. If you want to know what you can do as a grown-up, check out “For the Grown-Ups.”

Why do you like stripes so much and are they in the order of ROYGBIV?

The order is not in ROYGBIV. As far as the stripes go, we wanted color! The old building on Common Street allowed us to paint stripes on the outside, and we wanted to bring it with us to our new space.

Is throwing pottery easy and will you offer pottery classes?

That’s a tough one, some people take to it quickly and some not so much. But you’re in luck because we do offer pottery classes! And if you can’t commit to six weeks, we have other options for you - Throw Me Something or Come Clay with Us. Check out our “For the Grown Ups” page on our website.

What the heck is bisque-ware, and why do you underglaze it?

Bisque-ware is all the already-made clay items that are ready for you to turn into a masterpiece - cups, bowls, plates, platters, and other seasonal things. And underglaze is the ”paint” that we use on clay - it can handle the heat. We also have this super awesome, double secret technique we like to use on our smaller bisque-ware items. You’ll just have to come in to find out what it is.

Do you do parties?

We love parties! Kid parties, grown-up parties, or a mix of the two! We have lots of options that you can find on our website under the “parties” tab. If you don’t see something you want, please feel free to call us and we’ll see what we can do.
