However, we have several different projects ready for you to paint for all your art entertainment needs. Starting each October, Distractions will do clay handprint impressions for the little ones. Finally, during camps or homeschool groups, we can arrange clay handbuilding. Call or message the studio directly for more information.

Absolutely! All of our ceramic paints are non-toxic and food safe as long as you use our glazes to paint them. After the firing process, your completed ceramic pieces are both food safe and dishwasher safe, although hand washing is recommended. The only exception is if you paint using our acrylic paints, then those items would not be considered food safe. Acrylic-painted items are only for show. Don't worry, we make sure you use the correct materials!
