Saturday June 6th from 10:30- 12:30pm

This is a drop in class for student of any age! Students under the age of 6 must be accompanied by an adult. Please note that this is more of an activity than a class, you can drop in at any point during the two hour time slot and learn how to paint your ceramic object using colorful underglaze. Depending on the age of your child, you may not need the whole two hour time slot, this is totally chill, our baby paints a mug in a few minutes and it ends up being the one we always reach for. It has her little hands prints, and unique marking style and we treasure it.

How does it work?

You choose an object (mug or bowl) you would like to paint for the Fathers, Grandfathers, Uncles, God Fathers in your life, and come by and paint that object to gift them for Father’s day!

All Ceramics were handmade from stoneware clay by Danielle Clare Pomorski to create a more heightened quality than classic paint your own pottery piece (they are great too though!) . Once you have painted your piece it will be glazed clear, fired again, and ready to pick up before Father’s Day!
