Mobile Paint Your Own Pottery / Clay Art / Mosaics
Our philosophy: We believe all people are inherently creative and want to create a welcoming environment for people with various levels of experience to collaborate, get new ideas & be inspired. We love the idea of mixing media including hand-built pottery with already made ceramics (paint your own pottery) and mixing clay with glass. We look forward to implementing new projects ideas inspired by the mixed media approach. We are also excited about opening a store front where you can walk in and paint pottery, work with warm glass or sign up to take a wheel throwing or hand-building clay art class! Until then come visit us at "The Basement Studio" in Columbia City!
