Yesterday, I hung out with my girlfriends, Kris and Jennifer. We went to our favorite scrapbooking store and took a class, we went out to lunch, and then we went to this sweet little shop in Fairhaven, known as "CreativiTea".
This shop utilizes a clever business concept-- provide two services under one roof. It is a pottery/glass studio and teahouse in one!
If you are there to bring out your "inner artist", you can select a ceramic piece to paint or glass shapes to turn into your own work of art. Here is one area with many ceramic pieces to choose from...
If you are going to make a fused glass piece, you can choose from many colors and shapes of glass here...
There are tables and chairs both upstairs and downstairs for creating art and/or socializing over tea and snacks...
Kris selected 2 glass squares to design, using colors that will match rooms in her house. You can choose to have them fused flat or "slumped". For an extra fee, they will take your fused creation and put it in a mold to resemble a shaped piece (ex. rimmed plate, bowl, candle holder).
Jennifer loves sea turtles and has a Hawaiian sea turtle symbol tattooed on her ankle. She brought a postcard with this Hawaiian symbol and transferred the design of the sea turtle to her own glass square.
Unlike Jennifer, I did not come prepared. I had no idea what I was going to make! I walked around and around, looking at everything before I reached a decision. I chose a 8" glass circle and glass pieces in some of my favorite colors (grape, moss green, dark turquoise) to make this:
I can hardly wait to see what it will look like next week! I think Bill and I should come back here some time... and get a little creative...:) It was a fun day!
