Baked Goods Pottery

We wanted to take the kids to a paint your own pottery place. After looking up a few online we found one that would let us have a private room. You just have to spend at least $100. (We are taking 7 kids, do you think spending $100.00 is going to be a problem? Of course not!)

Even better? We can bring food! We ordered a huge party platter of Jimmy John's sandwiches and a bucket of their delicious deli pickles to pick up on our way. We put together a platter of Girl Scout cookies for dessert and packed up some drinks and chips. We turned our adventure into a real party.



Shelf-full of paint and a one year old; what could go wrong?



The pottery studio was really nice inside, the people were friendly, and the private party was a hoot. We had a lot of fun. Everett was a small challenge at first but once he learned his boundaries he settled in just fine. I was pleasantly surprised that even I got to relax and paint in peace without his daddy needing to pry him off of me. If we hadn't been in a private room there is no way I could have kept him out of the pottery shelves in the main customer area. Also, the tables and chairs are really high in the regular area. In the private area the tables and chairs are normal size. The staff was friendly and treated us nicely. Will do business again!
