Recently visited this pottery place where you, well, paint your pottery. Very cool concept and something different. You pick out a piece of pottery and then you paint it. I visited with my friend and her daughter and her daughter’s friend (both 10).

Pottery pieces start at $7.99. There is a wide range of pottery to choose from. The $7.99 will get you a small square tile. It would had been great if they had small square magnets, or something to the sort that was cheaper than $7.99. $9.99 will get you a bigger square tile, and from there everything else starts at $14.99. The paint is free!

My friend felt like the young ladies working there could had been more helpful with the kids when they were trying to choose their paint. After a little mass confusion of choosing the pottery piece and getting the paint we were well on our way to expressing our creative selves.

I picked the $7.99 tile and painted it with what they called “football orange”, the colors of the University of Texas at Austin (my alma mater). They had stencils and stickers available. It took me forever to paint around my Bevo stencil!

I have to return in a few days to pick up my piece. They glaze and bake it (I am sure there is a name for this process!) and so your piece is smooth and shiny when it is all over with. Waiting for your piece is a downside.

Paint Yer Pottery is located in a suite (same parking lot as Krogers) and the suite is a little cramped, but it’s cozy. If you go with children make sure to remind them to look with their eyes and not hands. They have a Coke fridge in order to buy drinks but you can also bring your own drink.

The choice was to go to the movies or go paint pottery and I’m glad we made the choice to paint pottery! Great place to take kids, but I think it would also work well as a place to take a date. Or girlfriends.
