Make Meaning551

With two locations around Manhattan - the other is inside FAO Schwarz - Make Meaning is a great spot to play and create.

The shops offer rainbows of paints and glazes, stencils, sponges, and an engaging helpful staff to guide kids - and adults - through the creative process. Candle-making and soap making are also options, with the added incentive of being ready to go the same day.

The half-hour/per person studio charge includes all paints, materials, and instruction. What's not included in that fee is the bisque (pre-fab pottery) to be worked on. After your session, the pottery items have to be overglazed and kiln fired and are ready for pick up in a week. The result is dishwasher and microwave safe one-of-a-kind functional pottery.

Make Meaning also serves as a crafts store. It carries a wide selection of creativity kits for kids, as well as an array of unique finished pottery and candles handmade by the in-house staff.

Party packages for small or large groups include all paper goods, balloons, invitations, and a complimentary party plate for all to sign and decorate. Make Meaning can also add on party gift bags and custom pottery or jewelry to commemorate the date.

Or look into the possibility of having Make Meaning bring the party to you.
