Progess is being made

It is hard to believe that we only have 5 days left before we open. We still have a lot to do, but as you can see, we have made HUGE progess.

Go Gators!!!

I thought I would post some Georgia/Florida pieces since this weekend is the big game, but for some reason we don't get too many Georgia pieces. This is a great Gator plate! I love when people draw their own designs, it makes it look so much more personalized.

Getting into the spirit

These are some great holiday pieces that people have done in the last few weeks. I love the holidays and love when people start to get in the spirit, it makes me more motivated!

and the walls came down

Now we have some paint on the walls, what is left of them, and things are really starting to come along. I will post more pictures tomorrow.

Work in progress

What a great husband I have. Brian came straight from work and started tearing down walls. It sure has opened up the place.

Ladies Night is this Thursday

Please join us for our famous Ladies Night. It is this Thursday, Oct. 23rd, and we still have spots available. The event starts at 7pm and we usually roll out of there about 9ish. We will have snacks, door prizes and a very special suprise for those who attend. Please call the studio if you would like to reserve your space. 730-3729

Yep, I have lost my mind!

It's true, I have lost my mind, but in a good way. I haven't had time to post lately, because I was in the process of buying another studio. We are now officially a chain! Two weeks ago, I learned that Achy Breaky Ceramics was closing and I approached them regarding selling their assetts to me and reopening it as Doing Dishes. Well, a few weeks later, a lot of sleepless nights and a wing and a prayer, we are now the proud owners of 2 pottery studios. The new studio will reopen as Doing Dishes on November 4th. We will be having a Grand Opening and I hope you can all come. Our 1st 100 customers will be given a 4 inch tile to paint for our front counter. I am so excited about this new challenge and I hope you all contiune to grow and learn with us. Here are some pictures of the studio "before" and I will post pictures of our progess as we make some.

Piece of the week

Here is the piece of the week from last week, an awesome footprint and handprint piece. The small grapes around the edges are the older children and the footprint was taken soon after the family adopted their newest addition. What a great way to celebrate the addition to the family.

This piece is from this week and was painted by Danielle, who was one of our summer campers from a few years ago. She painted this for her big sister, Brooke. She used our new pink foundations glaze and also a plate from our new Circles Dinnerware line. I love the look of this plate!

Happy Hour all week

We are having a Happy Hour Special. Don't worry, kids are allowed!!!!

This week only, Tuesday - Friday, from 4pm - 6pm. Come paint with us and receive 1/2 off your studio fee. As long as you get here between 4-6, you will get our Happy Hour special rate. Grab dinner at one of our awesome restaurants in the shopping center, then sit down and paint a piece.
