One of my boys’ favourite activities is to paint pottery and the best place in town to do this is at Gotta Paint. We’ve been several times and have fun each time we go. I really enjoy doing something creative and love picking paint colours, creating something beautiful, and having the opportunity to really talk to the boys while having fun.
Gotta Paint is a paint it yourself ceramic and glass fusing studio located at 352 Kirkwood Ave in Westboro. Their studio provides a relaxing environment to create memories with your family and friends. No experience is necessary, since their friendly and trained staff is able to answer all your questions.
My boys and I have painted mugs, tiles, dragons, and ice cream cone containers and we now have an array of colourful and practical pieces. You simply arrive, select your item and your colours and paint your piece, and leave it for the staff to fire in the kiln. You pick up your finished piece a few days later. There are no studio fees and the prices range from $10 and up and include your piece, design tools, and kiln firing. (HST is extra). All the glazes are all non toxic and water based, making for easy clean up. Once kiln fired the ceramic pieces are food safe.
Gotta Paint has some great family-friendly fun including their weekly Kids Night Out every Friday night from 6:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. For kids aged 7- 13, you can drop off the kids to do a project with an instructor and have a snack. ($22 plus tax, call to reserve a spot).
Another great idea for kids is to have Gotta Paint at Home. This is an amazing idea for birthday parties, sleepovers, or hanging out with friends. You pick your ceramic pieces, pick up a paint box filled with 10 pre-selected colours, design tools & instructions and take it home and create. When you’re done, you return the paint box and the pieces to Gotta Paint. Your pieces will be kiln fired and ready for pick up within a week.
