Spring BREAK week features mosaics, of course
Yes, we at PicassoZ love a good play on words. So, we’re playing up the “break” and loaded up promotions in our Breakables Mosaic Studio. If you haven’t visited yet, its really grown in popularity as a nice, relaxing environment to create in. It has a different vibe than PicassoZ, and is a little more sophisticated, but not much, LOL. It’s still walk-in, and still DIY. But with mosaics, you can take your creation home with you! Our hours are a little different in Breakables, 10-6 and this Spring Break week, we’re open Monday-Friday 10-6pm Saturday 10-10pm Easter Sunday all our shops are closed. See…

500 kids needed to paint tiles for PicassoZ Art Cafe’s tile wall
UPDATE: Our tile vouchers are now all claimed…all 1300 of them!!!! I’ll have to wait til the 3/13 & 3/25 painting deadlines to see how many tiles were actually painted. If I need more for the wall, I will post on Facebook. I assume I will need extras but to keep it fair, I would put out another numbered voucher., unless someone has another way to keep it fair! However, I will offer ANOTHER community participation project for kids later this year, painting pavers for our courtyard. I will announce it to my newsletter subscribers first.

Coffee Jellies are back!
Tea Largo‘s iced toddies (a smooth cold-brew iced coffee) are pretty much amazing. They have a following. So much so, I (Kristin) decided to bring back one of my personal favorites…the coffee jelly. Yes, they are coffee flavored jellies you SCHLURP up through a fat straw! It’s Florida. We drink ALOT of iced beverages. I think our boba & jellies are particularly popular here because we get bored and are looking for something to DO with our drinks rather than just mindlessly sipping. So, here you go, Lakeland. You love our iced toddies, you love our boba teas. Now, you’ve got coffee-flavored candy in a cup. Hey, if you have…

Tattoos for Pottery
We told you you don’t need to be an artist. You can select a special printed design and “silk screen”, and we will apply it for you on your painted ceramic surface with a unique concoction we mix up. So, if you just want to paint a background light blue, then put a ship tattoo on it, boom…you’re an artist. Just like a tattoo…for your pottery. Sea theme, woodland theme, basic swirls, etc. And vintage theme coming in later this month.
