Walk-ins are more than welcome at any time! Calling ahead for groups bigger than 6 is greatly appreciated!

1.) Pick out a piece of pottery. All pottery is marked with price on the bottom of the piece, th

at price will include everything except for taxes.
2.) Pick out paint colors from the numbered color chart at the painting station. Paint is much lighter before it is fired.
3.) You are welcome to take paint bottles, brushes, trays, idea books, stamps, and stencils back to your table.
4.) We recommend that you paint each color three times and use a blow dryer in between coats. Because of this process we recommend giving yourself at least two hours to paint your piece.
5.) After finishing painting, bring your piece to the counter and pay. We will get a description of your piece, your name, and phone number. The firing process takes one week for your piece to be completed.
6.) We will call you when the pottery is finished, or you can come back the following week on the same day that you came the week prior. Please bring back your yellow copy of your receipt. Pick up your pottery within 30 days of firing. FAQS

Hello everyone!

We would first like to thank you all…
It has been twenty years this year since we opened our doors.
As many of you know, our owner unexpectedly passed away and we have closed. She loved and had a great passion for River City Pottery.

We have so enjoyed and loved you all coming into the shop to paint your sweet creations over the years. Bringing your children in and capturing little handprints and footprints. Painting Christmas ornaments each year as a family tradition. Creating a gift for someone special.
All the birthday parties we were able to help celebrate.
Painting and making memories that will last a lifetime. We are so thankful and grateful to have been a part of that.

Thank you to all of our customers. Thank you for your business, your support and for your friendship.

We love you all and we will miss you so very much…

Love always,
Your friends at River City Pottery
