Favorite New Places

One of the best surprises about Cincinnati is how much there is to do here with kids. It’s really great to have so many options on any given day. Hands down, one of my favorite places is a place called Happen Inc. It’s a non-profit art space geared towards families and children. When I first read that they have open studio sessions where you can come in sculpt and paint your own ceramics and pottery and then have it fired for free I was a little skeptical. But it’s true–this place is great and it’s F-R-E-E! Check it…

I dig the chandeliers and red velvet curtains.

I made the cup while Beanie was in charge of painting.

She is a very serious artist.

Since the paints were underglazes we didn’t have to wait for the clay to dry first. Our cup should be fired and ready for pick up in about 2 weeks….I’m sure we’ll be back before then. I really love that I can expose Beanie to this kind of art and medium at such a young age. Hooray for Happen Inc!
