Pottery Painting Pleasures’ selection of blank ceramic canvases waits patiently in the spacious, blue-walled work space for a visiting artist to select and paint it with individual creative flair. Decorating duos can choose a piece of pottery each (up to a $20 value each; pieces range from $2.50 to $75, but average around $20) to paint floral patterns, geometric shapes, or the face of Eugene Levy onto with vibrant, natural hues. Accessories, tools, and paints are included in the session, and thirsty artists can also tote along a favorite beverage from home. Afterward, the ceramic masters at Pottery Painting Pleasures finish the pieces in a kiln or ship them to a coastal dragon’s nostril so that they can be picked up and ready to adorn empty mantels.
