Look around your home – chances are there’s a piece of handpainted ceramic pottery made by your mom or grandmother that conjures up warm memories of simpler times. A new business in Florence, Ky., is tapping into that nostalgia and giving it a modern-day twist. Elements Create It Studio, located at 5900 Centennial Circle, Florence, Ky., has only been open for about a month, but they’re already turning the DIY art world on its head with their creative approach. “We offer paint-yourown pottery, canvas painting and glass fusing for every member of your family,” said business owners and sistersin-law Teejay and Amy Arvin. “We have Cupcakes and Canvas parties for kids during the day and Corks and Canvas parties for adults from 7 to 9 p.m., where

we supply the hors d’oeurves and music and you bring your own wine.” These parties are perfect for girls’ night out or a date night with your special someone. The unique thing about Elements is artistic talent is not needed. “It’s designed for people who aren’t artists,” explained Teejay. “We provide step-by-step instructions so it’s fun for everyone.” Glass fusing is perfect for making jewelry, coasters and bowls, and pottery wheels are coming soon so you can throw your own pottery, “just like in the movie ‘Ghost,’ ” said Teejay. And first-time visitors can take advantage of this great introductory offer – no studio fees. The sisters-in-law’s motivation to start the business was a combination of Teejay growing up around her aunt’s pottery shop and Amy, a mother of five, looking for a fun but affordable way for families like hers to create memories to be cherished for years to come. “We decided to do this so a new generation of people can have those same memories, and we want to keep our prices low so families can experience it together.” Elements Create It Studio is located just behind Tractor Supply on Rt. 18.
