The
Greater Sandpoint Chamber of Commerce is excited to welcome The Pottery Bug. The
Pottery Bug is a "paint your own pottery" studio owned by Gena
Gibson in the heart of Sandpoint’s downtown core. The Pottery Bug is located at
101 N 2nd Avenue, Sandpoint, on the corner of 2nd and Pine in the Bonner
Building and has available parking.
Gena
is an Idaho native and moved to Sandpoint from Boise in 2003. She was in
the mortgage lending industry since 1991 and most recently was with Mountain
West Bank as a Loan Processor/Closer since 2003. After a long career in
the mortgage industry, she was ready for a more creative career
change.
‘My
sister opened The Pottery Bug studio in Otis Orchards, WA in May
2012,’ explained Gena. ‘The studio has been very successful and well
received in her community. The Pottery Bug in Sandpoint is now
our second location.’
The
Pottery Bug offers affordable fun which you create. At The Pottery
Bug studio, you will find hundreds of pieces to choose from and have
additional fun with stickers, fun writers and bumpy paints. The only cost
is the piece you choose. The process is simple: you pick a piece, create
your own artwork and leave it to be glazed and fire in their
kiln.
‘We'll
have your finished keepsake or gift to you in 3-5 days. We are open seven
days a week.’
The
Pottery Bug is affordable fun for everyone. They have a private party room
for kids' birthday parties, baby or bridal showers or any special
occasion. They would like to invite everyone to visit their large and
bright studio. They are a great destination for school groups, youth
groups, reunions or family outings.
‘We
have many projects available for Mother's Day coming in May and a special mug
created for Sandpoint High School Bulldog supporters. Graduation is
approaching and we can help create a great memento for your favorite graduating
senior.’
Please help the Greater Sandpoint Chamber
of Commerce welcome The Pottery Bug to the Chamber and wish them success. For more information,
