This is located on Classon at Lincoln, in the same row of storefronts as thenew barbershop, Benny's
There is a similar "paint your own custom pottery" place in Park Slope, on 7th Av near 10th St.
nice! thanks for sharing
The owner is in the store today, setting things up.
It looks like it could open as early as next weekend.
Now open.
Walked past maybe 2 weeks ago. There were 3 families painting. A young, white family. A young, African American family, and a young Hasidic Jewish family. Pottery painting brings the neighborhood together.
It took about a year, but the last of the store fronts in this new strip are now being rented out.
So far we have a realty office, ^this pottery place^, and barber shop.
Soon we will get a boutique clothing shop.
The clothing shop arrived over the weekend:
about a year ago, this strip looked like this:
May 5, 2013: Pottery place (Colour Me Silly) now gone.
This place opened on May 1 2012, so they may have had a 1 year lease, and decided to leave after words .
Or perhaps they found the market for do-it-yourself pottery in CH lacking?
...I suspect it was both.
However, the store on Franklin Ave for baby clothing, Stork, seems to be doing ok.
I suspect that is because we have a lot of relatively wealthy people with young (under age 6) children, but not that enough who want (and are able to...) to celebrate their birthday by making pottery.
Yet?
The market must not have been there. I lived in that building till February, and by the time I left the potters had been gone for at least 1 month. While they were around, I rarely saw people in there.
A paint-your-own pottery place always reminds me of a former neighbor who spent an inordinate amount of time doing that after her divorce. She seemed rather proud of her creations, and, hey, whatever helps, but I couldn't help but feel a little sorry for her. She soon moved away. Wherever she landed, I hope there's a pottery place nearby!
taruca-
It wouldn't surprise me if the pottery place has been closed for a few months. I can't say of it was of much interest....
