ceramic dreams.

i spent last sunday with my friend anna for her birthday. we had big plans of going to the zoo, but the weather was less than perfect, so we decided to do an inside activity instead. i found a little gem in broad ripple that i am so excited about called Ceramic Dreams.

it's an independent paint-your-own pottery place with a gift shop full of locally handmade items. i immediately fell in love with its charming interior and local small business feel. the owner, tanya, was really helpful and nice -- she even let us stay almost an hour past closing time (on a sunday!) to finish painting.

here we are with our finished products (pre-kiln).

today i went back to the shop to pick up our bowls and also to meet with tanya about adding Hair Treasures to the Ceramic Dreams Gift Gallery. i am very happy to announce that some of my items will be available for sale by the end of the month! i am excited to be represented as a part of the local arts and crafts community in a venue that truly honors the independent spirit. can't wait! i will give another update later about when you can find Hair Treasures there.

why you will <3 Ceramic Dreams:

-they are open on sundays! (this came in handy since anna's birthday was on a sunday.)

-the prices are really great, and there are daily discounts. you pay a flat fee to paint, not hourly like some places.

-they offer classes like glass fusing, mosaics, and pinch pot / coil pot, fine jewelry, acrylic painting, and more.

-they are green! look here to see the ways they focus on reducing, reusing, and recycling.

that's all for now. i am slowly but surely getting back into hair treasures mode. on a personal note, i took the GRE on monday and scored high enough to apply/be accepted into grad school. now i just have to wait and hope that that's what happens!

i have some more fun hair treasures updates, but i'll be back with those soon. have a lovely day, and check out Ceramic Dreams if you are in the indy area (and beyond). you'll love it!
