Located in the beautiful and historic town of Stillwater, Kari's Create & Paint hosts walk-in classes and parties for all levels of expertise. Programs are especially designed for certain age groups so kids can also spend some time learning how to master the art of painting clay. They even offer supplies to take home to work on your project if you need a different setting for your creativity to flow. The best part is that they offer the option to use acrylic paint, a form that doesn't require firing the piece and having to wait to pick it up. Tired of painting pottery? Kari's has a canvas available to work on as well.
