We recently discovered a paint-your-own-pottery studio here in Berkeley’s “Potter’s Ghetto.” Brushstrokes is a great place to go on a rainy day – or in our case, a Monday evening, when it’s pretty quiet and they waive the studio fee if you bring contributions to the Alameda County Food Bank. The delayed gratification of painting a piece in dusty un-revealed colors, waiting a week, and then meeting your new now-shiny creation makes the whole experience very satisfying.
If you have any hand-painted creations you’re proud of, we’d love to see some other favorite cereal bowls and coffee mugs out there! Just send us pictures here – we’re looking forward to it!
