Whether you can stencil and sketch with the best of them or struggle drawing stick figures, everyone is an artist (okay, maybe not everyone, but finger painting sure is fun). Express your creativity with today’s WagJag from The Painted Turtle Pottery Studio:

• $12 for $25 towards ready-to-paint pottery pieces
• $69 for a birthday party for up to eight children (a $144 value)

The Painted Turtle Pottery Studio in St. Catharines is a brand spankin’ new arts and crafts facility that encourages people to dig deep down and find their inner artist. It doesn’t matter if you’re a newbie or a regular Picasso: the studio offers a creatively fun experience for all. Choose from hundreds of pieces to be decorated, use your imagination (don’t be afraid to think outside of the proverbial box) and away you go. Once you’re done with your dazzling work of art, let the pros at the studio professionally fire and glaze the pottery piece to perfection. Pick it up a week later and admire it for years to come (or until the dog accidentally knocks it over).

Opt for the second option and choose from five different party packages such as the T-Shirt Tie Dye Party, Pillow Case Tie Dye Party, What’s In a Name Party, Ceramic Party Pals or Ceramic Plated Passion. With each party package, the art virtuosos at the studio provide the supplies and techniques necessary to complete a project. At the end of the session, each child goes home with a goodie bag packed with, well, goodies. The studio also welcomes walk-ins, but asks that if you’re bringing a larger group with you, to please make a reservation.
