Customers choose a blank piece of pottery to paint. After firing in the kiln, it becomes “a one-of-a-kind masterpiece,” she said.
“As an educator, I have seen the role art plays in the community,” Noga said. “Art overcomes the boundaries of socio-economic status, allowing all students to stimulate their imagination no matter their background. Children learn important skills such as problem-solving, focus, and perseverance through art. As art in schools is declining, it is my hope that The Studio helps to fill this void.”
As a mother, the long-time Hamilton resident said she has “noticed a need for affordable, family-oriented activities” in the city.
“ The Studio hopes to offer this with a new and unique activity,” Noga said.
The Studio plans to eventually offer art classes and a private paint-your-own-pottery space for special occasions, like birthday celebrations, retirement parties and corporate outings, according to Noga.
“We welcome the community’s ideas on creating masterpieces and memories,” she said.
