The Arkansas Times Holiday Guide

Did you happen to pick up The Arkansas Times in the past couple of weeks? The Painted Pig was featured TWICE in the special CUE holiday gift guide for local merchants!

Very cool. Did you catch that part about the jewelry special this weekend?? On Friday from 3-6pm and Saturday from 10am-1pm you can receive a discount on fingerprints in silver jewelry! Read more about our pure silver clay at PaintedPigStudio.com/SilverJewelry.

Christmas Deadline: December 8

Goodness gracious, it's that time already - the Christmas deadline to paint your own pottery or order custom pottery at The Painted Pig is THIS Thursday, December 8. What does that mean exactly?

• Painting or ordering your pottery by December 8 ensures that it will be ready for pick up by Christmas Eve.

• We DO offer the option to pay a rush fee for items painted after the deadline to be ready for pick up by Christmas Eve. 

Reindeer mugs, front and back/ Examples of custom painting available

• We have tons of awesome pre-painted pottery for sale as gifts! And almost anything can be personalized with a name and a year for a small fee. 

All pre-painted platters can be customized for $10.

We have a HUGE variety of pre-painted ornaments! Customization is $5.

• Mosaics and silver jewelry have no Christmas deadline! These projects can be taken home the day they are started in the store. You can walk in the store and make mosaics anytime. However, an appointment is necessary for making silver jewelry. December 9th and 10th we are offering a CHRISTMAS SPECIAL on silver jewelry... see here for details. 

So remember - if you want to pick up your pottery without a rush fee by Christmas Eve, come in by THIS THURSDAY, December 8 to paint. But don't worry if you don't make it in this week because there are still TONS of gifts and activities available for Christmas at The Painted Pig past the 8th! We look forward to seeing you!

Ps. We are open Monday - Saturday, 10am - 6pm. We take our last painters at 5pm. 

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!

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

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!
