What’s on your heart?

This sweet couple, Tim & Mariana, painted this “heart with wings” plaque to display at their upcoming wedding.     So, what’s on YOUR heart?   Bring in family and friends or paint with a sweetie this month…or paint FOR a sweetie this month.     Our ceramic keepsakes are memories you can sign, date, incorporate a personal design, or just cover with specialty glazes which don’t need design work to them.

Pottery painting is completely beginner-friendly and kid-safe.

Our glazes are non-toxic and lead-free.  Handprints, anyone?

On Valentine’s Day, we hold an annual event that is always quite popular.   It seems people want to make memories and are looking for an interactive, creative way to do that…  therefore: PIcassoZ.   Mosaics are popular that day also, since they go home with you.   So plan to join us on Tuesday, 2/14, as all the tables in our building…upstairs in the Party Loft too, will be available for painters, making chunky candles, clay jewelry & mosaic’ing.    We dont accept reservations, its walk-in only.

Mother’s Day painting deadline is May 3rd

Paint a keepsake for Mom through Tuesday, May 3rd and it will be completed and ready for pick up no later than Saturday, May 7th.   Handprints, footprints, special memories, names…we know Mom, and she’s just happy you thought ahead and took the time to make her something special this year.    No art experience needed, we have stamps, stencils, sponges, and crystal glazes which are easy to use and just as fun!

FIRING UPDATE:  We had a crazy spring break and our firing took longer than normal because we had to relocate our kiln room to another part of our building!    Yep!  Tea Largo, our contemporary tea & coffee bar, has grown at an insane pace this past year and needed our kiln room for expansion in a hurry!   (Got to love the timing.)   So, we have 2 ceramic kilns now, back in business and turning pottery around in about 4-7 days or so, depending on what time of the week it is!    If you need it rushed sooner, just ask.

If you’d like to bring Mom for a memorable Mother’s Day 2016, join us for pottery painting, mosaic or candle making May 7-8, with extended hours and open seating in all 4 of our spaces on Sunday!   We always have a little gift we give Moms who paint or make mosaics with us Mother’s Day weekend every year.      **Chunky candles & mosaics go home same day.

Sincerely,

Kristin
