Liam and London Paint the Town

Keeping kids entertained at home during the coronavirus outbreak can be challenging, which is why I'm excited to share that Paint the Town at University Village is now offering a special Pottery to Go service. This is a fun and easy way for kids who love art to get their creative fix while also getting a break from screen time. We tried out the curbside Pottery to Go service last week and my kids are already asking to do it again.

The assortment of pieces that are available to paint include picture frames, plates, mugs, animal figurines, and more. There are a variety of price points available and pricing includes the finishing glaze and firing. You can order individual items to paint or full kits that include brushes and pre-selected paint colors. Individual paint colors are available for $1 each and brush sets are $5. We had more than enough paint for multiple projects and the brushes can be reused, which is excellent because I have a feeling painting ceramics is going to become a regular thing at my house.

The Pottery To Go process is quick and easy. You simply pick the items you want to paint and make an appointment to pick-up at U Village. After completion of your project and once the paint has fully dried, you carefully wrap the items back up and schedule an appointment to have them fired in the studio. Once the items are done, you'll book an appointment for pick-up and receive your items back with a beautiful, shiny glaze.

I come from a long line of artists who express themselves creatively through writing, painting, and drawing. Turns out, that we also have a knack for painting ceramics. The process was fun and the experience was therapeutic for my kids who were bored with their usual art activities and wanted to try something new.

Pottery to Go is great for virtual zoom dates, book clubs, mommy meet-ups (with wine!), and of course, kids who want to try something new for their homeschool art class. Gift certificates are also available for purchase if you want to gift a Pottery To Go experience to a friend.
