Let's face it: you know you have the coolest dad around, and you need the perfect Father's Day gift this year to show him just how much he means to you. At The Mad Potter, we're full of fresh ideas and helpful hints for making something that the number-one father in your life is sure to love.

Personalize a mug for his morning coffee or an ice cream bowl for his favorite after-dinner treat; paint a desk organizer to brighten up his office; design a frame to hold that great family photo of him and the kids. If Dad's a proud college alum or crazy about his favorite sports team, you can even print out and bring in a copy of their logo or jersey design and get some of our clay carbon paper to make getting the design on your pottery a piece of cake. Still stumped on what to paint? Come leaf through our design books or browse our Father's Day samples; you're bound to find a fun and creative way to make Dad feel special.

Back for Father's Day by popular demand, our Clay Handprint Disc makes another great gift option for Dad this year. Bring in your little ones and we'll help you get a fantastic hand- or footprint in a clay disc. Afterward, we'll fire the clay disc, paint it in either gold or silver, mount it in a classic black frame, and provide the matching metallic paint pens for you to embellish your frame when you pick it up -- all for just $35 (plus tax)! Or, if you'd rather, you can paint it yourself with our studio paints and have us glaze it for just $20! It's a one-of-a-kind keepsake Dad will treasure forever.

With your special creative touches, a handmade gift for Dad from The Mad Potter is guaranteed to please. To ensure that your gift is ready for Father's Day, the deadline for all ceramic, glass, and silver items is Sunday, June 14. Drop by the studio and start your piece today!

For the rest of the world, Tuesday night is little more than Monday Night: The Sequel. But at The Mad Potter, Tuesday night gets a major makeover for Diva Night – a weekly studio event catering to the faaaaaabulous diva inside each of our painting prima donnas. Every Tuesday from 6 to 9, we break out the princess tiaras and feather boas for a fun and stress-busting night of crafts and conversation. Come snack on some chocolate and popcorn; enter your name in our door-prize drawing for a piece of pottery; bring a bottle of wine and relish a few hours to catch up with your best friend, your sister, your mom, your daughter – or any gentlemen in your life who are willing to find their diva within! The Mad Potter will make Tuesday your favorite night of the week.

We are excited to announce an upcoming Specialty Diva Night on June 23rd dedicated to our increasingly popular Lily Ollo station for making your own sterling silver jewelry. We have hundreds of combinations of shapes, patterns, and sizes for the necklace, earrings, or charm of your dreams, and we'll provide step-by-step instructions on the jewelry-making process, helping to guide you through your project so you end up with a final product you'll want to wear again and again. Because this is a special event, there are a limited number of spaces available (4 spaces every half hour from 6 to 9; 24 spaces total), so call us at (859) 269-4591 or stop by the studio to reserve yours today!
