No Kiln Needed

How’s this for a feel-good activity: Paint Your Own Pottery Day. To encourage folks to get creative, Paint Glaze & Fire Ceramics & Coffee House (12683 Metcalf in Overland Park, 913-661-2529) lets customers decorate ceramic works free today. The first 50 people who show up get to paint a coffee mug or a piggy bank. When those run out, studio fees will still be waived for those who purchase pottery to paint. And novices need not worry about the difficulty of the task. “We can make it real easy for them,” shop co-owner Debbie Wright promises. Doors open at 7 a.m. The day’s activities also include a raffle for a $100 gift certifi­cate. Raffle proceeds bene­fit the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.
