Painted Plate
Painted Plate’s pottery rates include paints, supplies, studio time, glazing, and the returning of your work for firing. To create your own masterpiece one has to pick their pottery piece from a selection of locally made pots. Painting comes next with the use of various glazes and art materials the studio would readily provide. To be a perfect piece it has to be fired up in a kiln with a temperature of 1800 degrees. The fun part comes where you can finally see your creative output. Finally, a functional pot is made that is guaranteed to be dishwasher, microwave, and food safe.

“I love bringing my 8 yr old daughter here to paint together, but I also love coming when the kids are in school and painting in peace & quiet. It honestly is very relaxing. It took a while to paint this doxie flower pot, but I loved every minute of it.” –June Duke
Just Pots
Just Pots’ founding was influenced by the family owner’s love for exquisite pottery pieces. They used to collect pots of various colors and styles but then came a day that triggered the establishment of Just Pots. Unhappy with the inability to find the perfect pottery piece they want that time, this inspired them to open their own pottery shop. It is a store that carries a wide assortment of pottery items that suit the indoor areas and outdoor spaces perfectly. They made sure to stock up various sizes, colors, and shapes of frost-proof Vietnamese glazed and terra cotta pottery.
