The Pig Turns Four

Happy Birthday, Painted Pig!

We are so excited to be celebrating fours years of fun and success at The Painted Pig. Some of our favorite accomplishments from the past years include:

- Over 263 birthday celebrations;

- 10 Girls' Nights Out a year (usually the third Thursday of every month!);

- Three summers packed full of kids' camps, including our popular Tea Party Camp;

- Bachelorette, bridal, sorority, and office parties; school, camp, and Girl Scout groups;

- Create your own Lilly Ollo silver jewelry (available for parties, by appointment, and on Girls' Night Out);

- New pottery glazes and crystal glazes (as of fall 2010) that are easy to use and give your pottery an earthy, natural look, straight out of the potter's studio;

- An array of ready to buy, ready to customize pre-painted items which make great gifts for any occasion;

- And new this month: Mosaics! We now offer a range of plaques, frames, and mirrors and all of the tessarae and necessary tools to create a unique mosaic piece.

This is already looking like an exciting year to come. In just the next month we plan on re-vamping the studio, trying a new brand of underglaze paints, and creating an efficient and easy-to-follow system for ordering custom painted pottery.

If there is one thing that the past four years have proved, it's that there is always something going on at The Painted Pig!

Make your own Silver Jewelry is a Hit!

Our New Lillo Ollo Jewelry Classes have been so fun! Thanks to all who have attended, especially for being patient with us as we learn to teach it to you!

We have decided to make the classes a bit smaller, and a bit longer. There are just so many options of what to make, we don't want anyone to feel rushed. You are always welcome to come in early to look at the books and stamps ahead of class time!

If you would like to attend any of these classes, please call and reserve a spot ASAP!

Upcoming classes:
Thurs. April 23- 6-9pm
Thurs. April 30- 6-9pm
Sat. May 2- 3-6pm
Thurs. May 7- 6-9pm

If you cannot make it to any of these classes, don't let that stop you! We can set up a time for you and your friends at another time.

DADS- Want to bring the kids in to do prints, but don't want to do the "dirty work"? We can do all the work for you, and you can pick it up the next day! $20 Finishing fee includes a cute zipper pouch and gift wrapping. Please make an appointment, so we know you are coming!

Here are some examples of what our customers have been making!




This is a Ring with her Husband's Fingerprint on it!










This one carved her initial into it instead of using a stamp! Very creative!
