A couple weeks ago Emilee won a gift certificate to a pottery shop here in town. I'd heard of this shop, but really had no idea what they offered. But, on Sunday, we decided to venture out & see what kind of fun we could have. And boy did we have fun!
It turned out to be a nice little studio where you can pick out your own pottery...they have everything from little trinket boxes, piggy banks & small figurines to small cups, bowls and plates...all the way up to huge platters & vases! (My first thought was...what perfect gifts these would make!) It took forever for the girls to decided what they should make! After quite some time Emilee settled on a standing puppy and Amanda decided on a salad plate. Emilee decided her puppy should be black with white spots & a green collar, while Amanda chose a sunny yellow for her plate...with purple, green & blue swirls. Both turned out really good for their first time. We'll go back in Friday to pick up the finished product...after it's been glazed & fired. I know Amanda can't wait to use her plate! I'm sure we'll be back for more soon! (I have my eye on a cute little bank in the shape of an elephant...too cute!)
Looks like fun!
ReplyDeleteI tagged you, so come to my blog to see what you're supposed to do now.
Great job! I love the puppy and the plate.
ReplyDeleteSo fun! We use to have a place like this in our town and my boys loved it...ok...so did I!! The best thing I ever did was a big platter for Thanksgiving. I made a turkey out of my boys handprints!!
