Chilly days remind us the holidays are just around the corner. Now's the best time to paint your gifts since we have more time to help with any special techniques you want to try.

Christmas ornaments have arrived and are waiting for your favorite colors. They look great with kids' thumbprints, or add some sparkle with our rhinestones (the "diamonds" as one little guy put it.) Bring in the family and take advantage of the coupon below for a FREE ornament!

October is baby month at Color Clay Cafe. We'll do hand or footprints in soft clay, on an oval, round, square or rectangular plaque for $25 (regularly $30). After the clay is fired, you can return to paint and we'll glaze and fire to finish.

Price includes all materials and firings, so don't forget to purchase extras for the grandparents. Call for an appointment.

We also do FREE painted footprints on a 4x4 inch tile for babies up to six months. As always, we're glad to help with hand and footprints. Weekdays are the easiest time for these as Saturdays tend to be quite busy.

WORKSHOPS

Our next canvas class will be Palmetto Pride, on October 24 or 25. Elizabet will show you how to paint your favorite team colors in an abstract design with the South Carolina palmetto and crescent. Choose an 11x14" canvas for $25, or 16x20" for $35.

And we'll offer the Holy Family in clay for $35 during our workshop on November 1. Price includes all studio fees. Home Schoolers can do the Holy Family on October 31 for $25. Check details at Home School Days.

Glass workshops are available on several dates, offering tips on techniques in cutting and layout. Choose from a variety of designs or create your own!

All workshops require advance registration with payment. Check the full schedule at Workshops and call to reserve your place.

Join us on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons when we do simple glass projects on a walk-in basis, e.g. ornaments, coasters, jewelry and small dishes. This "basket weave" dish is so easy and doesn't involve much cutting.
