Party policy & information


Thank you for choosing Art Signals Studio as your party destination!  We are delighted to be part of your special celebration and hope that your child and all guests will enjoy a fun and memorable party.  All customers hosting a party at our studio need to be aware of and agree to the policies below:

Parties are typically booked for 90 minutes which allows guests to choose a pottery piece, paint, studio staff to clean up, and food to be served.  We have found that timing for our parties work well for most people.  However, an additional half hour can be purchased for $30.  Also, please let us know if you would like us to decorate the room with balloons and streamers for an additional $20.  Finally, please let us know before your event if you would like us to make you a signature Party Plate with fingerprints and names of all party guests for an additional $30. This makes a unique keepsake from your party celebration!

You are welcome to bring in food and cake to serve at the party.  Please make sure to also bring any needed materials including plates, cups, cutlery, napkins, and drinks. Unfortunately, we do not have a freezer, so we recommend a small cooler for ice cream or anything frozen.

In order to ensure that we can efficiently help all guests during the party and clean up, we ask that parents of the party guests not be in the party room during the event (unless there are any special circumstances that are agreed upon prior to the booking).  Parents and siblings of guests are welcome to wait in our general store area where they can shop for books or movies or in our drop-in studio area where they can paint their own pottery during the party at a discounted rate of no sitting fee.  Otherwise, they can enjoy some of the shops or restaurants that downtown Maynard has to offer.

Parties generally work very well and without incident.  Occasionally, very active children find it difficult to remain seated.  Since pottery is breakable and we generally have custom pieces in process, it is unacceptable to have children running in the party room or studio. Our staff will try to control this, but it will be up to the party parents to ultimately discourage this type of behavior.  We will have to charge you for any broken items due to uncontrolled children.  

We require a one week notice for any changes to the time or date and a 72-hour notice for any cancellation to receive store credit.

We very much look forward to hosting your special event. Please let us know if there is anything else you need or that we can do to make your party special!
