We charge a flat studio fee of $8 per day for adults and $6 per day for teens and younger.  The studio fee includes unlimited studio time and access to all of our paints, sponges, brushes, glues, stencils, stamps, books and other decorative material.  It also includes glazing and firing of the piece(s).  The price of the bisque or glass fusion pieces are seperate and range from $5 to $8 (with an average around $15)

You bet!  We use only non-toxic glazes.  Although we do recommend hand-washing the larger platters.  Also you may warm things in the micorwave, but they are not meant for "cooking" or oven use.

It depends on you! Most medium size pieces take about an hour to paint, but there is no time limit - stay all day if you wish! 

No.  Our main studio room is for walk-ins.  No appointment neccessary.  Rservation are only required for parties or large groups.

We will try to have all pieces ready for pick-up withing 4-6 working days.  During busy holidays it may take a little longer.  If needed,  a $5 RUSH fee per piece is available for a 48 hour turn.  Cafe Art will not be held responsible for pieces held longer than 30 days.

There are no age requirements! Everyone is welcome!  You can be youg, old or in between.  Paents or Grandparents can bring little ones in to do footprints or handprints (we've had them a young as days old! - makes a great gift or momento)  Young children love to express their artistic talent and we have plenty of pieces that kids like to paint  Our paints are all able and non-toxic.  We even have a small area with some toys to keep the little ones entertained if they finish before the adults.

Definately!  An art degree is not required! Cafe Art has many design books, stamps, samples and pictures to give you ideas and inspire you.  For Glass Fusion it would be best to go to a glass fusion technique class first at Cafe Art to learn the basics.
