-----CHRISTMAS CERAMIC PAINTING-----
Come by The Big Willow Ceramic Painting Chapel, at 716 King and do some pre-Christmas ceramic painting with your kids.
We have a large selection of everyday ceramics as well as festive pieces to choose from. Young people love painting tree ornaments and these make lovely Christmas gifts that last for years.
When: Just call to book a time to come and do ceramic painting.
Thank you to everyone who partook in this summer's camps. It was a wonderful summer and fun was had by all!
Also thanks to everyone who made donations to send kids to camp. You funded 16 children to attend Y.A.K. Camps this summer from Holy Family School in Rideau Heights , and The Boys and Girls Club.
THE BIG WILLOW CERAMIC PAINTING STUDIO
The Big Willow Creative Studio:
Hours of operation:
Open by appointment
Come and paint a ceramic piece to be glazed and fired.
Choose from a large variety of dishes, bowls, cups, platters, and dozens more!
Paint on the weekend and come back and pick it up 5 days later.
This is a great idea for children and grownups. Bring your baby by and print his/her hands and feet on a plate or bowl or mug.
How it works:
A) You choose a bisque piece (unglazed ceramic piece) which could be anything from a mug, bowl, plate, spoon rest, vases, jewelry box, tea pot, etc. The price on the bottom of the piece includes the price of the bisque piece, your first 6 colours of underglaze
paint, glazing, firing, and studio time. Additional underglaze colours are 25. cents each.
B) You sit down and choose your colours and plan your design.
C) Buy your self an organic free trade coffee, tea or hot chocolate to steady your nerves whilst painting!
D) You paint the wonderful mug you always wanted to have.
E) If your child is done before you, he/she may choose to have there face painted by Carrie Whalen. $5. half face or $8. full face.
F) You leave it with us to glaze and fire for you, and you come and pick it up the next Friday!
This is a great way to spend a bit of time in lovely Portsmouth Village with the kids or just by yourself on the weekend. Go for an enchanting walk afterwords down on the nicest waterfront walkway Kingston has to offer. Grab an ice cream cone at the Crazy Portsmouth hardware and video store and walk around the village and check out some of
the prettiest gardens in Kingston.
We will be doing the Ceramic Painting Cafe all summer and if the turnout is good throughout June we may do it during the daytime in July and Aug.
CERAMIC PAINTING WEDDING SHOWERS
Come in and choose the pieces from our catalogue that you would like your guests to paint. We will order them in and you can pick a date and time to have your friends all come and have a ceramic painting wedding shower party.
