Let's create with Fused Glass!

We are so happy to be able to offer fused glass kits to go! First up are fused glass necklaces or key chains.  Follow along with the video below to see how easy it is to create a one of a kind work of art.

Mother's Day Madness!

4/30/2020

 
The MADness of our lives right now has made us all a little crazy! But, fear not - we are here to help you create beautiful prints of your little artists.  A simple hand print or finger prints added to our coloring book pottery to go will be just the perfect touch for all of your unique Mother's Day gifts.  Follow along and trust yourself that YOU CAN DO THIS. 

Darker colors are best for hand prints.  We do suggest a plain background as base colors tend to change the color of hand prints placed on top.  Finger prints on top of our coloring book designs?  Choose light to did town colors for the best results.  Placing a dark color on top of coloring book images may change your results.

GOOD LUCK!  Let's make this a Mother's Day to remember.

If you have any questions, please call the studio at 803-771-8080.

March into Spring with us!

3/1/2018

 
We are so excited to have our new calendar up and ready to go!  We have two exciting mud clubs on Thursday for our young artists and and a great spring door or wall hanger for your house.  This bunny door hanger would be super cute to hang in any kitchen, nursery or office when not in use on your front door!

Let us know if you want to book a private group class for our new wood plaques.  We have a great group of ladies who have already booked a private night ahead of our kick off date of March 24 - they were ready to go! 

And don't miss out - Camps are already starting to book! - we have so many great weeks of camps listed.

I've always been a landcruiser girl...

if you've driven by the studio in the last twenty years (yes, we have been open 20 years - but this is our 21st Christmas season!) you may have seen one of my two Toyota Landcruisers. I have a 1975 FJ-40 and a 1988 FJ-62 that are truly my loves right after my dog & my husband.

Built like tanks, these trucks are dreams to drive and they tend to have loyal owners who can't seem to let them go. (Yep - I'm one of them..)

When we were looking at trends for this year's holiday's ideas and the woody wagon popped up, I was so excited! Oh for the days of fj-60's, woody wagons, wagoners and a tree wrapped to your roof! Maybe a black lab or two in the back, your favorite Bean boots, a Swiss fisherman's sweater and a toboggan ready to go...

fast forward to my awesome staff coming up with THE PLATE of the season! The Wood Wagon Christmas Platter. Staff can precut a sticker stencil for you (YEP) to stencil the Wagon of your dreams right on the platter, add a hand print, foot print or paw print and VOILA! Christmas is made.

​Landcruiser style.

Did someone say hot chocolate?

2/11/2016

 

This is our nineteenth Valentines Day in the studio! (Be still, my beating heart...) If only we could count the many gifts that have been created and given by friends & family each February in the studio. We've met so many beautiful couples each year. We've shared stories of how couples have met, when or where they were married and when children came to be.

Picture

Each year we invite you, our old friends & new friends to come and join us to create a Valentine memory. This year we will be serving up hot chocolate and sweets to Valentines of all ages in the studio on Sunday. We hope you can join us!

Five things inspiring us this week 5/23

5/23/2015

 
Picture

Love this mosaics bench! We need to get back into mosaics.

Picture

This art compilation at Cabo Taco in NoDa is beautiful to explore. Each artist painted their block not knowing what the other artist would paint, yet it all fits together.

Picture

Mechanical renderings are the best.

Picture

Crayons, crayons, and more crayons.

Picture

A chalkboard frame of New Belgium beer labels & bottle caps! Brilliant.

So what has you inspired...?

Five things inspiring us this week 5/16

We love the blues and greens of this seahorse print. And the muted tones remind us of that old beach house you used to stay at once a year with your grandparents.

Picture

We love the zen doodling of this card we saw in the post office (yes, the post office!) and the fun berry colors added to it.

Picture

How about a different colored silhouette? This one caught our eye in beautiful shade of green! It really stands out against the brick wall.

Picture

It must the greens & blues again! The label of this hot sauce stood out against the yellow of the sauce. And the fish...well, that fish makes us think of Dad.

So what's inspiring you this week...?

Five things inspiring us this week 5/1

We love the pattern on this scarf! The Blues, greens and browns are perfect for a chip and dip year round.

Picture

We love this blue on blue wall paper. Our silk screen flowers help create crisp lines when painting.

Picture

Hatch Show Print never fails to inspire.

Picture

Accidental art - some lucky soul found this tardis blue crate by the studio....

Picture

We love the simplicity of the tiny blue flowers...

What's inspiring you????

Journey to Morocco

4/7/2015

 

Grab your passport...our journey to Morocco begins during Camp Van Gogh Go 2015! We start with a camel ride over the dunes of Africa bringing you amazing colors and sites..

Picture

Then we are on an Amazing Race! You never know what country we will end up in, what technique we will try or what pit stop awaits you...

Picture

But don't worry, Zombies won't be in our way! We have them safe & secure (or so we think..) in our utility closet. You'll just need to wait and see...

Picture

Thank goodness Girls Just Wanna Have Fun after all that craziness! We can't wait to kick up our heels and have some that week....

Picture

Oh, there are so many more great projects and weeks of camp to come!!!

Are you registered? Check out the Camp Page for more fun...
