How to paint your own pottery at home: introducing our take-home Party in a Box

In Coeur d’Alene Idaho, Hands to Art Paint Your Own Pottery studio is ready to send your family home with a curated box of professional painting supplies so you can paint in the comfort of your own home!

At Hands to Art, we believe in bringing the studio experience home without limits. We were the first local studio to offer this incredible service — you get the same premium materials we use in-house, including the detail bottle that we were the first to allow outside the studio. This level of flexibility and value began with us!

 

Pricing: $25 fee due at the time of booking for up to 3 days

Timeline: Checkout is for 3 days at a time, and you can book 1-2 months in advance if you’d like!

 

The Party in a Box is perfect for anyone wanting to host an at-home pottery painting party. Whether you have 5 painters or 35+, this option gives you everything you need to create your own painting experience wherever you are!

 

Each box includes:

  • 23 eight-ounce bottles of glaze paint colors

  • 1 black detail bottle for fine lines, details, and writing — this is the only time we allow a detail bottle to be taken outside of the studio!

  • 1 large cup full of variety brushes

  • Paper plates for holding paint

  • Napkins

  • Q-tips and toothpicks

  • Extra pins for the detail bottle

  • Several water cups

  • Step-by-step instructions for beginners or anyone who needs a refresher

  • A painted sample tile showing all colors after firing


When you choose the Party in a Box, you’ll have more creative freedom than ever! Regular take-home kits include just 10 colors, but the Party Box gives you 23 colors and that special black detail bottle. With 184 ounces of glaze, you can paint large projects or host big groups, all at your own pace for up to 3 days.

At Hands to Art, we believe in bringing the studio experience home without limits. Our Party in a Box is unique — you get the same premium materials we use in the studio, including the detail bottle that we normally keep in-house. No other local studio offers this level of flexibility and value.

After your at-home party, you’ll have beautiful, custom-painted pottery, plus memories made with friends and family. Once you bring your pieces back for firing, you’ll have durable keepsakes that remind you of that special time.

To book your Party in a Box, simply call the studio and speak with our friendly staff. The $25 fee is due at the time of your reservation, and you can book as far as 1-2 months in advance to secure your spot.
