Story ‘n’ Paint

A guided, step-by-step pottery painting project inspired by a children’s story, for little ones and their grown-ups.

Every Story 'n' Paint party is a guided, step-by-step pottery painting project inspired by a children's story: each child paints a salad plate or cereal bowl, and halfway through we pause for story time. With help from a parent or caregiver, children use brushes, sponges, Q-tips and their own fingerprints, and our artists add the finishing details and personalization.
