DIY Pottery Painting

We’re on the hunt for Rhody Gems! Every neighborhood has that secret, hidden, cool and unusual, or hole-in-the-wall spot that locals love. Email or tag us on social media using #RhodyGem to suggest yours, and we might just feature it!

What it is:

A studio and shop filled with everything you need to paint your own pottery, no appointment necessary.

Where to find it:

Nestled in Barrington, find the studio at the corner of Kent and Sowams Road. If you’re traveling from New Meadow, turn at the Hampton Meadows Elementary School and follow Kent Street to the end.

What makes it a Rhody Gem?

Looking for something fun to do or want to make a customized keepsake? “Art by You at Weirdgirl is a place to relax, reset, and get creative,” says Meg Jones, owner and sole proprietor. Jones has filled the expansive space with organized shelves of unglazed bisque and work tables ready with paint swatches, brushes, and more. Once your piece is painted, Jones fires it in the kiln and schedules a pick-up time for your objet d’art. Sister company In God We Trust Ceramics provides hand and footprint impressions in-studio or by kit, pet paw prints, custom signs, and house numbers, all in ceramics. “The Studio is honestly like a child to me. We have been through many ups and downs, weathered growing pains, disappointments, celebrations, corrections and redirections. But through it all, I have loved Weirdgirl and continue to enjoy bringing art through ceramics to the community,” says Jones.
