Get ready to paint, create, and make it your own!

Join us for a fun and creative Paint Your Own Pottery experience where every Girl Scout gets to be the artist! Girls will choose their own ceramic piece and then let their imaginations take over—selecting their colors, creating their design, and painting their piece however they like.

No artistic experience needed! Friendly instructors will be available throughout the program to offer tips, answer questions, and help bring each Girl Scout’s creative vision to life.

Once the masterpieces are complete, the studio will glaze and fire each piece to give it that beautiful finished shine. Pottery will not go home the day of the event and will be ready approximately 7 days later. Finished pieces may be picked up individually at the studio or arrangements can be made to have them picked up at our local GSCCC Program Center.

Come ready to get creative, try something new, and create a one-of-a-kind keepsake that’s completely YOU!

Please note – there is limited space in the studio so parents may need to wait outside or in their cars – no tagalongs.

Cost $35 includes fun patch
