This was a laid back indoor activity that was nice to do on a heat advisory day. We were greeted right away by a sweet lady named Pam. Kolorful Kiln has varying sizes and price points for ceramic items on either side of the front entrance starting at $10. You pay up front at the desk. They accept cash or card. Cash seems best for a small business if you are able.
Pam told us we could sit anywhere we'd like & brought out two ceramic color charts showing what each color looks like with 1, 2, & possibly 3 coats after being fired. You can choose as many colors as you want for your creation.
We were each given paper towel to set our items on after she dipped them in water. We also received slips of paper on which to write our names, our item description, and our color choices. She also brought us our glaze colors in little plastic pots with lids and cups of water for our brushes.
It's nice you can return for up to three months to keep working on your project if you don't finish in one go. They keep your slip of paper and your receipt with your item. It takes about two weeks for your fired and finished piece to be ready for pickup, and they will call when it's ready.
Fun and relaxing for all ages and all skill levels. It's also helpful that they offer a restroom if you need it. A lot of businesses in the area will not allow customers you use their facilities. It was hospitable of Pam to also ask us if we were comfortable with the indoor temperature. She also provided handheld fans to dry out projects in between coats and handling.
I can't wait to return to finish my project that is in progress. The owner wasn't there, but we heard great things about her while we chatted with Pam. Finally, an interesting shop in Peru. I've found it difficult to find things to do around here.
I'll definitely be going back. I'll also update once I complete and finish my little project. I love art and don't do it nearly enough in adult life. It's fun to be creative and feel like a kid again if only for the time I was within the confines of this cute shop/studio.
Also, they appear to be open 10-5 during the week and 10-2 on Saturdays. I believe they are closed on Monday or Tuesday but with the possibility of being open if you make an appointment. I saw conflicting hours online and didn't think to check in person. I'm not sure if they do special events, but it would be a good spot for that. I am also not certain whether the building is wheelchair accessible as I only recall steps. There may be another way to enter that I didn't notice. read more
