$8 for $16 Worth of Paint-Your-Own Pottery and Studio Fees at Glazed Expressions
DJ Ceramix made a name for himself by placing a slab of wet clay atop his turntable and spinning it into a beautiful vase by the end of his set. Impress the audience members of your life with today’s deal: for $8, you get $16 worth of paint-your-own pottery and studio fees at Glazed Expressions . Head to one of Glazed Expressions’ locations —Lincoln Park, Wilmette, or Downers Grove—until November 15. At Glazed Expressions, blank ceramics in inspiring shapes from bowls ($6–$48) to figurines ($10–$16) blossom into full-color blooms. The studio fee ($6 for kids under 14, $8 for adults) includes all the supplies and creative space needed to turn a blank bisque into a bowl full of acrylic cherry designs or to give a figurine a fashionable façade. With more than 250 pieces of unpainted pottery to select from, even ardent pottery individualists will find an inimitable form. Forge your own pattern freehand or use Glazed Expressions’ enormous stock of stamps and stencils as a guide. For the unglazed and confused, the trained staff will be standing at the ready to assist with the creative process or to talk paintbrushes through their first paint commitment. After the final brush stroke, leave your piece and the staff will seal the deal, finishing the patina with a professional glaze and firing; it’ll be ready for pick-up in about a week. Simplify nightly table-setting decisions by bringing the whole family to craft personalized plates, or design a scone sitter for a favorite coffee date. Blind dates at Glazed Expressions allow time for fun and creativity without the stress of batting-cage strikeouts or the pressure of holding wet clay together to build a pot from terracotta scratch.
