Today, I went to the Clay Cafe, which is located in the Grand Island Plaza, to paint pottery. During their open studio hours, which are Wednesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., anyone can come and paint pottery. You buy a pottery piece. In the photograph above are some of the pottery pieces that are available. Below, there are cookie jars! They are big! You buy the object that you are going to paint and you pay a painting fee. The painting fee is per object that you paint. For adults, the fee is $6 and, for children, the fee is $4.
The Clay Cafe also offers clay classes. Those are available for groups and they must be scheduled in advance. Another service available is a birthday party package. The maximum size group that can be accommodated is 20. |
I'm not sure there is a business like that where I live in the Binghamton area anymore. Back in the 1970's I painted a few pieces at the local Air Force base when my husband was in the Air Force. It was a lot of fun. I still have a couple of them. Your post brought back memories-thank you.
