“Pottery on Wheels”, or pottery at your location is where we bring the pottery, paint, idea’s and staff to your location.  The holiday season is approaching and it is a great time to paint pottery for Christmas and holiday gifts!  We have everything from holiday ornaments, ice cream sundae bowls, and even mugs that are perfect for hot chocolate and coffee.

 

Where have we had “Pottery on wheels” events??

We have currently worked with over 20 different Guilford county schools including, Jesse Wharton Elementary, Western Guilford High School, Brookes Global, etc. In addition we have worked with private schools including Greensboro Day School, Caldwell academy, Montessori, etc. Also 100’s of day cares and even retirement centers!!

 

How it works!

• We schedule about 1-2½  hours at your location.
• We send appropriate amount of staff based on number of painters. Min. 20 painters required. Average groups range from 40-300 painters. No limit maximum.
• We supply the pottery (ornaments, ice cream bowls, tiles, plates) brushes, and the paint.
• We bring the pottery back to our studio to be glazed and fired in our kiln. You can either pick it up at our location, or it can be delivered back to you for a $15 fee.

Why work with the Mad Platter?

Painting pottery allows children an opportunity to creatively express themselves while making something that will last forever.

Inexpensive art project that kids and adults love to do! PARENTS LOVE IT TOO!!!

 

When is the best time to book a party?

Holiday Season—October thru December- to make ornaments for the family (it isn’t JUST Christmas related) they can make a little keepsake that they can give as a gift. Hot chocolate mugs are perfect for the winter!!

Mother’s Day and Father’s Day- Very popular time to have Mad Platter come to your school. Plates, bowls and mugs are great keepsakes for a child to decorate for mom and dad. We can even add HAND or FOOTPRINTS!!

Earth Day- an Innovative and new way to allow children to work with clay and bring mother nature back to the classroom in an artistic way.

Grandparents Day-perfect way to thank grandma and grandpa for being so loving!

Teacher Appreciation Day- Thank a teacher by giving them a platter that has all of the children’s thumbprints turned into little bugs with the child’s name next to it!!
