So what is one to do when watching a friends 11 year old daughter on a Friday night? (they were visiting from the UK and I let them have a date night) I decided to take her to the As You Wish Pottery Painting Place for a creative outlet and some girl time...(Hannah Montana wasn't in town this weekend) I had passed As You Wish Pottery Painting Place often when going to the yardhouse and to the movies, but have never ventured in...I now know why...This place was FULL of screaming kids having a birthday party in the back and making an absolute mess...But my young friend and I had a blast.
She choose to paint a picture frame and add on cowboy boot for a cost of $18.00 and I choose a Vase that also cost $18.00. Paint, brushes, studio fee and glazing was all included in the $7.50 for adult. $5.50 for children fee. (go onto their website and get the 1/2 off fee coupon).
My young friend and I spent about 2 hours painting and chatting (about our favorite Hannah songs). When we were done painting our pottery, we left it behind for the glazing and firing of our pieces which were to be completed in a few days.
I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised to see how talented we were when I picked up our pieces...they came out great.
So if you are looking for a creative outlet, a fun outing with the kiddies, or an evening alone to listen to screaming children, I would recommend As You Wish Pottery Painting Place. The staff is friendly and it is a fun and creative way to spend a few hours.
