Artistic Gatherings unfetters inner artists with an expansive stock of ready-to-paint bisque pottery pieces and Wednesday-night workshops in sundry artistic subject matters. Customers of all ages can participate in the studio’s pottery painting, and the accommodating staff supplies painting materials and a lineup of unpainted ceramics and clay figures awaiting vibrant makeovers. After students glaze pieces, the staff fires finished pieces in a kiln to ensure a long life of sitting on desktops alongside collections of Bob Dole bobblehead dolls.

Adults can spend a Wednesday night coloring and consorting during two-hour workshops, many of which are BYOB, teaching a range of artistic skills. In the BYOB Pelican Still-Life Painting class, artists plaster acrylic paints in bird shapes across a 16”x20” canvas, and during the Mixed Media art class, students can express inner frustrations with deep reds accenting torn-up parking tickets.
