Paint Crumbles Trees

If you haven't seen this yet, prepare to be amazed. Have you ever wondered what happens to all of the leftover paint in your palette after painting at The Painted Pig? Sometimes, we scoop it back into the bottle. But if there are colors that have mixed together, then those palettes are dumped onto a special plate of leftover paint to dry and harden into crumbles. 

We then use those paint crumbles to create incredible, one-of-a-kind pieces. After fired, crumbles have a thick, glassy, marbleized look - and you never know what colors you are going to get! 

 

Isn't the transformation amazing? We have pre-painted and available at the store right now! $45 for the platters, $10 to add personalization. 

Paint crumbles are also available for your own projects... the only requirements are that the piece be flat and that you paint the entire piece of pottery before using the crumbles. Easy enough!

Starting the holidays...

Can you believe it's already December?! We started the holiday season out right with the Holidays in the Heights open house on November 13. We had hot apple cider (well, it was about 70 degrees outside so we improvised an iced apple cider punch!), Christmas cookies and the shop DECKED out in holiday decor and pottery ideas! Plus, everyone who came in the store that day was registered to win a $50 gift card. We had a blast - thanks to everyone who came by to start their holiday shopping at The Painted Pig!
