Upcoming Events

Hi - Just wanted to put a bug in your ear about the clay workshop and kids summer camp.

I have decided to teach a month long intensive clay workshop in June and another in August . I will cover everything I know about handbuilding and we will meet once a week on thursday nights. This class is for adults only - ages 20 and up. The summer camp is an opportunity for kids and this is the opportunity for adults.

Speaking of camp - Taylor Parrish is very excited to be your camp instructor this summer and we have the content and details down - we just need to put it in a pretty format and get it xeroxed. Eight weeks in the summer June and July on Fridays from 10 until noon.

More details to follow soon....

April and May Painting Specials

Mother's Day painting deadline is April 30 - the last Saturday of this month. With new styles of pottery and newly stocked shelves - now is the best time to get Mother's Day gifts done. Come see the new ladybug "cheek" print that we have in store now.

Here is a totally new special for moms. On Saturday, May 7 it will be Mom's Night Out. Come on a paint date with your friends or your husband or be on a date with yourself! Make it a kid free zone - and paint your cares away. I will have cheescake and chocolate on hand. You bring your favorite beverage and get a little quality "you" time. Paint from 5:00pm until 9:00pm for six dollars plus pottery.

WEEKLY SPECIALS UNTIL THE END OF MAY

Ladies' Night - Every Tuesday from 5:00pm until 9:00pm paint for a flat six dollar studio fee. This has been our tuesday night tradition. It is a great night for new people to come because you can truly take your time painting and you get great tips and tricks from the regulars in the studio. If you see someone painting in a technique you are not familiar with just ask - all of my regulars are very friendly ;) - they don't bite. (hi-girls)

Wednesday night is Livin' Large Night - Paint any ONE item in the store that is over $20 and pay no studio fee.

Thursday is Family Dinner Hours. Anytime after 5:00pm on Thursdays just until the end of May. Bring the family in, bring dinner in or get pizza delivered, and paint for two hours for two dollars. Each person that paints will be two dollars for two hours. Nothing like a little family bonding before the wacky weekend. It would be a great opportunity for each person in the family to paint their own dinner plate - don't you think?

Saturday Date Night - MAY SPECIAL ONLY - From 5:00 - 9:00pm (noticing a trend here??) painting couples will get a deal even Monty wouldn't pass up. Dating Couples will get buy one get one free status on the paint time. Friend or family couples will get a $4/painting hour status.

How about a daytime special? - Tuesday through Friday, from now until the end of May clock in before 3:00pm and paint at a $4/hour rate. Adult or child.
