Summer is fast approaching, and kids will no longer be in school all the time. With school ending, you may be at a loss for how to entertain the kids! Well, there is no need to go searching far. Mount Pleasant Village is filled with businesses your kids will love!
Creative Clay Studios
Creative Clay Studios is a fantastic activity to do with the whole family. The pottery studio is welcoming to all, from beginners to experts! There are three ways to get started if you are interested in trying pottery. You can purchase a pass, where you can do your own thing; attend classes where teachers will provide demonstrations and guidance; or purchase an open studio six-month package with weekend access (previous experience is required for this package).
You can also contact Creative Clay Studios here to book an appointment to shop handmade pottery!
