Socializing, creating, connecting, relaxing…whatever you would envision your “perfect place to be”. You can do that with our Pottery Painting Concept.

Pottery Painting offers a “fun casual experience” for all ages to enjoy!
Someone`s bowl is always empty – as an owner of a Pottery Painting Studio, a great way to participate is via an “Empty Bowl Event“. This is where ceramic bowls are painted by community members to sell, soup is donated by local chefs and restaurants and communities come together to purchase the bowls and enjoy a meal. All proceeds from the event got to local food banks to fight hunger in your community.
Your studio space needs to be changed often in order to create the experience that brings your customers back again and again. As the owner, it is your job to keep your studio looking fresh and new, enticing customers to create by being inspired by all your fabulous products. Finding your “Oceanfront Property” in your retail space is vital to providing good flow and to control the shoppers journey through your store. Our comprehensive training program shows you how to find that “Oceanfront Property” and properly layout your store for success!
Is there a difference in getting a “Hand Crafted Coffee Roaster” – featuring coffees that are Direct Trade, locally produced, roasted in small batches?
The answer is Yes! This is a big deal when you’re talking about freshness and sustainability.
QUALITY ROASTER
No mass-scale production and no super-automatics for Smile Tiger thank-you very much 🙂 Smile Tiger coffees are roasted in small batches right here in Ontario and Smile Tiger doesn’t just pick up the phone to place an order for their beans, they make regular visits to their suppliers and work closely with their roaster to get the sweetest profiles possible from the beans.
SMELLS THAT ENCOURAGE YOUR CUSTOMER TO RELAX AND CREATE
You walk in the door and that coffee house smell invites you to “stay for a while” – paint some pottery and have a coffee, latte, espresso -” this is your time to relax and create”.
SEASONAL BLENDS
Seasonal blends are the perfect opportunity to add a layer of festivity to your studio by enhancing your environment with the smell of the season.
RETAIL OPPORTUNITY
Smile Tiger also offers 12 oz bags of several of their blends for home use – a great “retail sale” that blends perfectly with Pottery Painting.
TRAINING
We will be offering training to Pottery Painting Cafe’s so don’t worry, you will be creating the perfect cup that everyone will be talking about.
Adding Smile Tiger “Hand Roasted Coffee” to your studio offers a different kind of experience for your customer and gives your studio that “Hand Crafted Vibe” that pairs so well with Pottery Painting – allowing people to “Unplug, Create and Socialize” with an amazing cup of “Hand Roasted Coffee”.
Researchers have found that experiences—as fleeting as they may be—deliver more-lasting happiness than things. Here’s why:
Experiences become a part of our identity. We are not our possessions, but we are the accumulation of everything we’ve seen, the things we’ve done, and the places we’ve been. Buying an Apple Watch isn’t going to change who you are; taking a break from work to hike the Appalachian Trail from start to finish most certainly will.
Pottery Painting with friends and family allows meaningful connections to those you are with and for your own inner creative soul.
The average Pottery Painting Studio in Canada stocks anywhere from 225 to 400 pieces of pottery. Large volume studios can stock up to 1000 different shapes. The pottery shapes are actually called Ceramic Bisque and are blank canvases for your customers imagination for colour and design! There are thousands of different ceramic bisque shapes and always new pieces being designed to keep your stock fresh and exciting for your customers.
Many entrepreneurs love the idea that in building their business, they can give back to the communities they operate in the form of the products and services they offer, by donating to charities and especially the ability to create jobs, which is particularly important these days. Starting your own Pottery Painting business will allow you give back to your local community and also provide a place to create, socialize and unplug with family and friends! Does your community have a business like this? If not, why not open one!
Everyone is attached to their devices and this can be very unhealthy for your brain and social skills. Digital Detox and Technology Fasts are becoming popular so that people can re-connect with other human beings, reduce stress, and enhance creativity.
Even a few hours “off the grid” makes a huge difference. Like a muscle, the brain needs recovery time in order to develop and grow. Even brief activities such as taking a short walk (sans phone, of course), spending time in nature, or daydreaming can help the brain reboot.
Pottery Painting Studio’s offer a great place to be creative, unplug and be social with family and friends…..and it is fun too!
