Paint Your Own Pottery (at Book Nest)

Paint Your Own Pottery (at Book Nest)

About

Toys • $

A family-owned pottery studio inside Book Nest Toy Store on Steves Boulevard, and it's been doing its thing for 21 years. Your kids pick a piece, paint it however they want, and the studio glazes and fires it for you — ready for pickup about a week later. A hands-on activity that doubles as a keepsake, and a great rainy-day or downtime option. Parking and restrooms are on site, and the studio is wheelchair- and stroller-accessible. Hours match the toy store: Monday through Saturday 10am to 5:30pm, closed Sunday, so this isn't a last-minute Sunday plan. The week-long firing wait is the honest catch — you won't walk out with the finished piece, which matters if you're only in town for the weekend. Toddlers through tweens can paint; it's art, an activity, and a little education in one sitting. You're inside a toy store, so budget extra time on the way out.
