It’s a well known fact that no matter what your age or how creatively stunted you may be, your mother with always, ALWAYS cherish a hand-made crafts project from her perfect little angel. I have discovered a place you can go that will cover all manner of creative inadequacies and will afford you, precious angels, the ability to give your mother the greatest gift ever. It is called All Fired Up, “Richmond’s Original Paint Your Own Ceramics Studio.” getallfiredup.com
You can select from one of its many pre-made ceramic pieces or craft your own in the wet clay studio. Next, you choose your paint colors. And finally, you create the best Mother’s Day present ever. The glazing process takes about a week, and the final products are food safe and (I think) dishwasher safe.
I am, to put it lightly, hopelessly incompetent in the art department. I can construct a grammatically correct sentence faster than you can say “eats, shoots and leaves,” but painting and drawing have never been my strong suits. The pressure was on, but I was quickly engrossed.
It was fun, therapeutic and well worth the reasonable cost. The only thing that would have made it more enjoyable is if there had been wine involved. But I suppose alcohol in a ceramics studio is never a good idea.
