As the Christmas season draws closer most students will be fretting over essays and finals, rather than presents and holidays. And considering that most students will procure the same tool box, or snow globe for their respective parents, I thought it would be a good idea to offer another, creative and relatively cheap idea for a present. This week I will be headed to The Clay Place in Sicklerville, NJ. The Clay Place offers an array of pre-made ceramics which you can paint and design with any colors you want.
Expectations: I don’t know much about the place, but my girlfriend works at a similar store back home, and I thought they were always interesting. The only problem is, I lack pretty much all artistic ability when it comes to painting and drawing. But on the upside, this will probably be a present for my mom or another family member, so either way I’m making it up on the fridge!

Tuesday-Friday 1:00 p.m -8:30 p.m
Saturday 11:00 a.m – 5:00 p.m
Sunday 12:00 p.m – 4:00 p.m (Starting in October)

Stumble It!
what a nice fun blog — I wish you lived in Kentucky — then I could rely on your reviews of local places here to take my family! This is great — you should try to link up with the NJ AAA or other travel agent web sites and then you could get cross promotional advertising and good exposure. Just a thought.
I love reading stuff like this!

I have worked at a porcelain doll shop where we started to offer these classes a while ago and everybody loved them. And we now have a shop in our city for this activity. I haven’t actually been to it.
I like your page your page. Visit mine sometime, make sure you laugh today!
But it sounds like fun. I would rather make the item first and them paint it myself. I like to make stuff from scratch myself
