Nick was super meticulous to attain the drippy look along the rim of his cup.
Alli’s teacup went through several phases during our hour and a half session. She loved being there with just the three of us doing what she loves to do—paint. The final stages of her cup were completed using a mixed palette –as in she mixed all the colors on her palette.
I had fun experimenting with the different techniques they had displayed—mixing paint with soap and water and then blowing bubbles, combined with taping off sections to get a clean striped look.
We highly recommend this activity as it is appealing to such a wide audience and it allows for time spent with one another talking and creating something beautiful and memorable.

All of your teacups turned out so very cute! I like the little heart handles on each of them. I've never been to that particular place before, but something similar. We made stuff with the YW in our laurel class a couple years ago. I made a santa candy dish that turned out to look like crap, because I'm just not artistic. It was still lots of fun though!
Looks like you guys had fun! :) They look darling.

What a fun family activity! I love all of your teacups - all so creative. And now you have a tea party to look forward to :)
Those look great! So fun.
I LOVE Alli's teacup! I think I might have to try mixed palette myself. We have a place here by the old Kim Jew studio now on the westside.
And I recommend a tea party at dinner time. We did a dress up tea party once and even Ryan put on suspenders and a hat and I had my boa. Monica put on makeup and her princess dress. She LOVED it! I think we all had a pretty good time.
But great cups. I love all the designs!
What a fun activity! I tried the store t-cups that you paint (no firing, no advice) but later read the fine print...can't use them for food. This looks much better.
