Tradition ... Tradition!

okay so whenever anybody starts talking about holiday traditions it gets me thinking about Fiddler on the Roof (confession: that is my favorite play - I have seen it 4 times live on stage)  Though I love the traditions in my family and think that they are what makes the holidays all the more special to us.  We as a family play tons of games on Thanksgiving (football, board games, we even sometimes throw in some floor hockey).  This year I have seen lots of different types of turkey platters made for grandma or for the start of a new tradition in the family, and I love it. (I would also love to see pictures of these platters being used, please send them to me at fultonpottery@gmail.com).  Here is to being thankful for the traditions that we have and for the ability to make new ones.  Wishing everyone a very wonderful Thanksgiving. 

PS. One of the Studio at Fulton's traditions is the ornament giveaway on Black Friday (we open at 11am) to the the first 30 people in.  Lots of fun!

Creative Holidays

Someone told me that Christmas is in under 6 weeks, they were excited about this, for me it got me thinking of all the gifts I need to get working on.  I will be teaching a class this coming Ladies' Night, December 4th 6-9pm and showing everyone how to make this beautiful, personalized platter (that if you really creative you could give with cookies, though just as nice without the extra baking)  I invite you to come relax, and make something wonderful for a friend or family member that it tricky to shop for.  This is really so easy and it will cause you no stress!  Who doesn't want less stress this holiday season.

masked fun

If you didn't know we love teaching classes here and seeing the creative talent of others as they take an idea and make it their own.  We do this in Kids club every Thursday afternoon from 4:30 - 6pm, and these kids (who really are artist!) make beautiful, wonderful, amazing things every week.  Here is a a pictures of some masks they made out of clay during our Halloween themed fun.
