Spring Break Camps Preview

Spring Break is around the corner, and that means free time! We have 3 camps that are sure to please the kiddos. They are geared toward kids that are 8-14 years old. The rest of the studio will be open to the public, so those with younger siblings don't miss out on a fun activity.

*Learn how to use the paper technique to mask your initial, and learn how to use pottery underglaze in a splatter paint fashion.

March 20: 2-4pm Fused Glass Plaque

*Learn how to make to score and cut glass to make a cool window plaque. No experience with glass necessary.

March 22: 6-8pm Mosaic Wipe-Off Board and Pizza Party

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!

Happy New Year!

It's a new year and a new start for The Painted Pig blog! The holiday rush has come and gone, and the Pig is very excited about new projects and possibilities for 2011.

Put January 20th on your calendar for our next Girls Night Out, 6-9pm. Remember to call and reserve a spot if you'd like to join the silver jewelry class that night! 501-280-0553.
