Summer Event Schedule

Hello Everyone.....It's been awhile since we've put out a real newsletter and we're glad to hear you've missed us and want to hear about upcoming events and classes.

It has been a busy Spring so far here at TCAPC, and we've got so many new pieces of ready-to-paint bisque in stock, and more on the way each week. We have also added a lot of new paint colors for your selection while painting at TCAPC. Listed below are a wide variety of techniques we'll be teaching in the next month.

As always, if classes don't fit your schedule, just come in, pick a piece of bisque or greenware and we'll get you started on your painting project.

If you're new to TCAPC, we offer ready-to-paint-bisque, greenware, hand-built clay classes, pottery wheel classes, fused glass, PMC Jewelry, Ladies Night, Couple's/Friend's Night, *League City Senior Classes, Birthday Parties or Parties for Any Reason, paints, brushes, and supplies.

Now about our classes.......Some classes are specifically designed for adults, but most are designated as "Kid's Of All Ages". So, if you see a "KOAA" class you like, and you're between (age 5 and age ___ ) then you are definitely welcome to join the class 'cause they really do some cute things. On the First Saturday of the Month, there is also a KOAA class from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.. KOAA classes are also scheduled when the kids are on a school break (Spring, Summer, Thanksgiving, Christmas) so watch for these.

Hope to see you soon,
