Nooks and crannies

Sunfire Ceramics, 1002 New Hampshire St., allows even the most artistically challenged to beautifully decorate a piece of pottery. The store has a variety of pottery to choose from, including plates, bowls, cups and vases, and prices range from $4-$12. There is also a $4 studio fee that allows you to use more than 50 paint colors. Owner Cheryl Roth says mugs and plates are the most popular choices.

“People like to have a good coffee mug,” she says. “The nice thing is they all can go in the dishwasher.”

Painting the pottery might even be easier than choosing your design. Roth says you don’t have to be a skilled artist because the process is simple and straightforward. The studio provides stencils for easy tracing and has samples to copy from. Or, you can design your own picture. “If someone wants to bring in an idea as a spring board, we can help them choose colors,” Roth says.

You can also get a group of friends together for a pottery party. Roth says their party room accommodates up to 30 people. Bring food and drinks to enjoy while painting your pottery. There is no additional charge to use the party room.
