Art as Relaxation
Lately I have taken to painting ceramics. I go to a place called "Ceramics by You". On Tuesday nights they have adult night and every week there is a different food theme. This evening I went and it was "family favorite". I made me yummy "Just Like Stuffed Potatoes" dish. It was a fantabulous hit!! I gave the directions/recipe out to everyone.
The owner's name is Nan and she and I talked the most we've ever talked tonight. Her husband, Grey, was there, too and he was so cool. He showed me a few tricks to use that I will benefit from greatly in the future.
I've been taking the kids there the past couple weeks. They are making ornaments as gifts for grandparents, godparents and friends. They love it and the studio is very kid friendly with an area for them to take "breaks" in. It's cool. I'm planning on taking both Mikey and Olivia to Kid's night sometime in the new year. Kid's Night Out includes $15 worth of ceramics to paint, pizza, a movie and just overall fun for them! I think M&L would really dig it. Nan seems like the type of person that kids would love!
I'm planning on painting a coffee mug next. I picked the style of mug I want and Grey said he would get working on it for me. YAY!! I plan on giving it to Jodi, for Christmas, with some bags of Starbucks coffee, a Tazo tea sampler and some flavored Coffeemates.
I honestly cannot wait to go back next week!! Pictures to come soon, I'm sure.
