2 reviews for Hands On Art Studio
What's one to do on Black Friday in Door County? Well, Hands On is the place for entertainment and fun. I came here with my fam during one of their Adult Nights. It's pottery painting meets music meets BYOB. My parents had been here before a couple of Thanksgivings ago, but I missed it. This time around, I was determined not to miss out on the fun.
I painted two medium sized bowls. My fam painted a gnome picking his nose and a Packer themed bowl. The bf painted a man sitting on a couch remote control holder. At the end of the night, the pieces are arranged for firing in one of their many kilns. They also ship them out if you leave Door County before your piece of art is ready. The remote control guys and bowls were delivered in about a week to us looking beautiful and shiny.
While painting and relaxing, a local band played music and we were served pizza. Since I had some leftover pumpkin spice cake balls, I shared them with the group of pottery enthuaists. The owners loved the cake balls and were extremely helpful. It was such a laid back experience mixed with pottery and beer. My Dad and bf checked out the other converted barns which included glass blowing and metal working. My bf promised that next time, he'll do the metal working. I had a fun and memorable night at Hands On that I'm definitely returning.
This is a paint-your-own-pottery studio that I absolutely fell in love with on my most recent trip to Door County!
The studios themselves are actually in a converted barn. The top level is filled with tables and chairs for you to work at. The entire back wall is covered with different pieces you can paint, starting at around $3 a pop. The staff was wonderful and answered all of our stupid questions with a smile. When they found out we had planned to eat there (the kitchen was closed for renovations) they even made us a pizza because they felt bad.
Friday nights are "Adult Nights", where you pay a $6 studio fee for the whole night plus whatever the price is for each piece that you paint. They pipe in music and encourage you to bring wine and beer to enjoy while you are painting. It was a ton of fun and this will surely be a destination for me to return to.
