Branching Out: Time for an Artistic Adventure

So you've seen restaurants and cafés from all over the city (offering incredible deals by the way) joining the Passport initiative, but today I thought I'd draw your attention to our latest, one-of-a-kind destination.

Starting immediately, you can bus on down to the Kool Klay (Paint Your Own Pottery) Studio, where you and your friends or family can paint their own clay creations, or paint pre-crafted pottery available in-store.

Here's an excerpt from their website:

"Drop in on your own, with friends, or with your kids to paint a piece of ceramic bisque. Feel free to bring a coffee or we'll make one for you, relax and you are ready to begin your artistic adventure. Choose a piece of bisque, check out our Ideas Book, choose from a wide variety of colours and start painting. Your masterpiece will be ready for pick up in about one week, after we have clear glazed and fired it.

We stock a selection of over 200 different items - everything from dinnerware to dragons, which you can paint in our studio or take home to finish. Our staff is continuously learning different methods of painting and trying out new products. Only the most interesting and successful methods are offered to our customers, as we want to keep your stress level low."

Why not make the Kool Klay one stop on an Art Themed Adventure Day! Grab a bus from home headed downtown, and spend a couple hours, at the Art Gallery of Hamilton, then once you've seen how the pros do it, hop on the Number 5 Bus and take it into Downtown Dundas to create your own Masterpiece at the Kool Klay.
