Paint Your Own Pottery: Bubble Painting
"Painting" bisque is a fun and relaxing activity that can be done solo or with a group of friends. This process is sort of like blowing bubbles when you were a kid, but we do it with a straw and paint. The popped bubbles show up and make interesting patterns on the finished pieces. Studio fee is $4 for ISU and $5 for public to attend plus the cost of the bisque you select.
