This Saturday I had the pleasure of attending my girl friend Jill's Birthday Party. She wanted to do something different so she organized a session at a "paint-it-yourself ceramic" studio. The studio, The Clay Room (http://www.theclayroom.ca), is located on the Danforth (under 5 minutes from the Chester Subway Station). You simply drop in, pick a ceramic item and paint it. Then they glaze it and fire it in their kiln. You come back a week later and voila you have a new plate, cookie jar, vase, etc.
I decided to do a deal they offer where you purchase three ceramic items and you pay a flat fee for your studio time. It allows you to visit as often as you like to finish off the three items! For my three ceramics, I chose a vase (featured below), a set of coasters and a condiment tray.
The birthday party was wicked and we couldn't believe how much fun we had. We reminisced about how we felt like we were 12 again! The birthday girl was kind enough to supply us with party sandwiches and non-alcoholic beverages ( some non-alcoholic champagne which was delicious!) and us girls surprised the birthday girl with some cupcakes from Dlish (http://www.dlishcupcakes.com/). I ate the Coconut cupcakes (super tasty!) and the ladies enjoyed the Salty Caramel flavour. All and all, it was a great afternoon - probably the most fun I have had at a birthday party lately. We shared laughs, caught up on each others' lives and got to try something different.
I highly recommend this activity for a date, a chill afternoon, a birthday party, quality time with your kid(s), etc.

My vase which will look different after it has been glazed and fired - I will upload a picture of the finished product later
Cheers'ing with our non-alcoholic champagne!
