Who we are
The Pottery Spottery is a unique studio in Philadelphia where everyone, no matter their age, skill or budget, can create their own painted work of art. Our space is welcoming, playful and always judgment-free. It’s the perfect spot for a ladies night, child’s birthday party, first date or just expressing one’s creativity.
Amy, the owner and operator, has been living in Philadelphia for over 10 years. With a robust history of working in paint-your-own-pottery studios, babysitting and 20+ years of working in theater, she is combining her knowledge and flair for the dramatic into her very own studio. She has culminated her experience into The Pottery Spottery to create a warm, welcoming and user-friendly environment accessible and enjoyable for anyone.
