Crazy Glaze Ceramic, Fuquay Varina

Crazy Glaze Ceramic Studio is a rare breed of paint-your-own pottery studio—the kind where you don't have to paint your own pottery. You can, of course. Pick one of the more than 300 bisque pieces, paint it with a design of your own creation, and the staff will kiln-fire it into a microwave- and food-safe finished product in 10 days. However, visitors can also emblazon their ceramic charges with someone else's design via stencils and transfer paper. What's more, they can abandon pottery altogether, harnessing their creativity through canvas painting.
