The 10 Best Paint & Pottery Studios in Connecticut, United States
Connecticut is a study in attraction and contrast. In one small state, you’ll find miles of sandy oceanfront shoreline, acres of forested hiking trails, and world-class museums, art and theater. Here family-friendly adventure parks and aquariums are just minutes from dynamic casino resorts and quaint, historic small towns — offering experiences that range from culinary to cultural, luxurious to laid-back. It’s the perfect place to unwind and recharge, all at the same time.

Greenleaf Pottery features individually hand-crafted functional stoneware pottery by John Macomber.John's limited edition and custom designed pieces are richly colored, delicately designed and extremely durable. Visitors are always welcome at John's studio/retail gallery, where he also offers pottery classes. "Forty years as a studio potter has taught me a deep understanding of the pottery process. I'm glad no one told me how difficult a pottery career would be. For me, however, the process is the reward. My focus remains producing, selling and teaching. What brings you joy can bring you abundance." John Macomber

John always has new and beautiful works of art to choose from. The colors are so rich and interesting. His pieces are so functional as well. I find myself reaching for them time and time again for serving or dining. His lamps are really charming and add character to a room.

My vision was to create a place where people, families, friends, co-workers and groups could connect. A space that is elegant, comfortable, warm. relaxing and fun. By using art, specifically painting, as an icebreaker to create conversations and connections to celebrate occasions and to raise funds to give back to the community. My goal is to provide an opportunity for all ages try something new, try being creative and see how it feels. My hope is that Artique has and will continue to create for people an appreciation for the arts and leave feeling inspired! Artique offers paint events almost every day of the week for all ages! We offer fundraising, team building, after school paint events for all ages, teen events, couples events, mommy/daddy & Me and family and special events!

A neighbor invited me to a morning class. Based on my experience at a similar venue in Blue Back Square, I was reluctant to go, but thought I'd tag along. I'm so glad I did! The facility is huge and beautifully decorated--I must find out how they created the gorgeous, shiny, silvery concrete floors. They had an easy to use coffee machine with all the bells and whistles and tea, several types of coffee, creamers and all the sugars and sugar substitutes you could want. The whole space was sparkling clean and light filled. The instructor, Sam, was out of this world. Pleasant and professional, with a very solid art and art education background, she gave each of the participants the right amount of assistance based on their skills and anxiety level. Though letting us know there was no one right way to create the painting we were making she gave us detailed, clear instructions--then let us improvise to our hearts' content and with her help if asked. I referenced my earlier experience at another studio. Not only were their facilities far inferior, the instructor gave only cursory instructions and didn't add to the group's engagement or fun. I suspect he was a high school student who had an interest in art. Sam, on the other hand, made us feel like signing up right away and continuing to paint and chat for the rest of the day. I suspect she may inspire some students to continue in independent work, since this business offers open studio hours where one can do just that, provided with materials and expert guidance. A wonderful experience, very competitively priced. I expect to spend many more happy hours at this fantastic venue and recommend it without reservation!
