Step 2 ~ All paint colors are preselected for your project and are non-toxic, water-soluble and food safe. 


Step 3 ~ Have Fun!… Once at the table you can sketch your design with a regular pencil (this will burn off during firing) or you can just paint.  The paints are ready to use, no water is necessary, and at least three coats are recommended to have a rich, solid color.  Just remember to let your piece dry in between coats and that light colors will not cover dark colors very well.


Step 4 ~ Ready for Glazing… Once your piece is painted, we will "glaze and bake your confection" so it will then be food, microwave and dishwasher safe.  We'll even clean up after you, so just leave your materials on the table!

Step 5 ~ Ready to see your work!?  Your finished masterpiece will later be shipped via USPS Priority Mail to the destination of your choice.  (Participants finished pieces will not be shipped until Final Payment has been received.)

PACKAGE PRICING / FINAL PAYMENT / GUARANTEE

Artists/Instruction   

Most people are unsure about their artistic talent and have a lot of questions, especially those who have never painted before.  Our top concerns at ChocoLate Soup 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 at our Firing Studio. The breakdown is one Artist per 20 painters to oversee each participants progress.
