Staffing

Most people are unsure about their artistic talent and have a lot of questions, especially those who have never painted before.  Our companies top concerns are customer service along with the quality of the finished product. We only employ qualified artists to assist and demonstrate different techniques for your guests; this allows a more personable one on one instruction with the participant. In addition, after your guests have left and their individual pieces have dried this same team of Artists will glaze the finished pieces, load and unload the kiln, and assist with the final packing and shipping of each piece.

Our suggested breakdown: One Artist per 12 - 20 painters to assist/oversee each participant's progress.  (Artist/Staff Fees are not included in the package price.)
