Located on Columbia Street in downtown New Westminster, BC, Palette Art is a pottery painting studio that welcomes all ages and skill levels. You can drop in anytime during open hours to choose a pottery or ceramic piece and paint it. There’s no time limit, so you can take as long as you need. All paints are non-toxic, and if you choose dinnerware like a mug or plate, it’s food safe and dishwasher friendly after firing. They also run pottery wheel and hand-building classes, canvas painting, and workshops. Booking ahead for weekends is recommended, as the studio is often reserved for events and birthday parties.
