WELCOME TO THE KILTED KILN

We are a family owned business which opened our doors in November 2016.

We had previously owned a studio for four years in the early 2000’s and missed working with people in a calm and relaxing artistic environment. Every Kilted Kiln customer is greeted with an enthusiastic “hello” when they enter our studio and are provided with an explanation of the creative tools at their disposal to ensure that their visit is a worthwhile one.

We offer over 160 different pieces of Bisqueware with prices ranging from $4 to $105 per piece. Our Studio Fee is $6 per adult painter and $4 per child painter. This is a flat fee, not per hour or per item, like some studio’s. Customers have over 60 colors to choose from. All items are dipped in overglaze and kilned at 1800 degrees for 24 hours. All completed items are food, microwave, oven and dishwasher safe and ready to pick up no longer than 7 days after completion. NO RESERVATIONS are required and children of all ages are welcomed.
​
We specialize in all kinds of events. From Birthday Parties, Mobile events, and even Fundraisers!  Please view this information on our page above or call us at 814-807-1907 to discuss your next event!

LET'S START WITH SOME BASIC INFORMATION | 

• We are open 7 days a week
• Reservations are never required unless you are interested in scheduling a group or event of 7 or more people.

• All new painters and those in need of a refresher are presented with “Tips and Tricks” which allows for “everyone to be an artist”. 95% of our painters are new to this and they create incredible pieces just by listening to a few key tips.

• Once you are finished, all completed pieces are dipped in overglaze, think of it as liquid glass, and fired in a kiln for 24 hours so they are ready for pickup no later than 7 days.

• Your completed piece will be food, microwave, dishwasher, oven, animal, and garden safe so you can use them

• There is a $6 Studio Fee for adults and a $4 Studio Fee for Children ages 12 and under. Our studio fee is a flat fee. It is not per hour, per item, or per paint like most places. This covers paints, materials, and kilning labor/materials.

• We have 65 colors to choose from and always have over 160 pieces in stock.
• You can browse our updated inventory here - INVENTORY

• If you do not like what you see in our existing inventory we are more than happy to provide you with the websites of where we order from and we can make a custom order for you.

• PLEASE READ REGARDING HOURS: Since projects typically take longer than an hour to complete, we request that you arrive no earlier than one hour prior to closing. The exception is for groups or events which have been scheduled with us ahead of time. You can always take your item home and bring it back for completion at no additional charge or do a Bisque in a Box!

EVENTS & BIRTHDAY PARTIES

• In over 6 years of business, we have hosted over 500 events and parties. We have a party room which is separate from the studio that can seat 26 people comfortably in addition to two large tables for food, drinks, presents, whatever you would like to use them for. You can learn more about that here!

KIDS CLUB

The Kilted Kiln is pleased to offer The Kilted Kiln Kids Club. If kids (age newborn to 17) paint from 3:00 to close Monday-Friday they will receive half-off studio fees. We will be issuing Kids Club cards so when they paint five times they will receive the next studio fee free of charge and receive a new card.

If they have already taken advantage of our Palette Painting offer (See Below), they will receive a free studio fee every time they paint during those hours!  Studio Fees are normally $6 for ages 13+ and $4 for ages 12 and under so if you take advantage of this offer you can certainly save some money!

We hope to see you and your kids soon!

Palette Painting

If anyone ages 12 and under paints a Palette at The Kilted Kiln they receive half off studio fees every time they come in to paint. We can keep the palette at the studio or you can take it home to use for projects.

OUR POTTERY IN REAL LIFE

One of the greatest things about the items you create at The Kilted Kiln is the practicality of the completed piece. When you are finished painting with our underglazes, we dip your item in overglaze which is like liquid glass, and, then cook it in the Kiln for 24 hours at 1800 degrees. Overglaze makes your piece food, microwave, dishwasher and oven safe so you can actually use your items.
