Pottery & Painting Activities at Main Ideas Pottery Studio

Main Ideas Studio is a bright and fun do-it-yourself (DIY) art studio based in Newmarket, Ontario, where families, kids and adults can drop in or book sessions to get creative together. The studio provides everything you need - workspace, paints, tools, guidance - and encourages people of all ages to come, pick a project, and make something unique. ------- KIDS CLASSES AND ACTIVITIES ------- - Hand-build with Clay: Kids are guided through the basics of clay work and tools to create something both beautiful and functional. - Clay Wheel Throwing Children learn how a real potter’s wheel works, and with guidance they make their own basic bowl. - Traditional Canvas Painting This isn’t a simple “paint-along.” Kids are taught how to design one main focal point and then build an original composition around it, making each artwork unique. - Ceramic Pottery Painting Kids choose from a wide range of pre-cast ceramic pieces and paint them however they like, with some basic guidance from studio staff. - Splatter Canvas Painting The messiest and most energetic option: children design a background and then throw paint at their canvas to create dramatic splatter effects. ---------- UPCOMING ACTIVITIES ---------- ****Drop Off to Shop Short, convenient drop-off session for parents to shop Starts December 14 Kids complete 2 art projects (Lunch included) Price: $40 + tax *****Kids Night Out: Sanrio Edition Popular character-themed creative night for kids Starts January 16, 2026 Includes 2 themed art projects (Dinner included) Price: $40 + tax **** After School Art Club Focus on real art techniques & multi-material skills Starts April 8, 2026 Structured after-school weekly art sessions Price: $225 -------- BIRTHDAY PARTIES --------- Main Ideas host fun, creative birthday parties for kids of all ages!
