Last Saturday was an exciting day, this Saturday meant my friend Jenna and I were meeting up after a long few months apart, sob sob. I'm sure if you imagine what two girls are like when they haven't seen each for a while, the talking doesn't stop, usually to the point where you are the last ones standing and people ask you to leave!
We always try and do something a bit different when meeting up and this time we decided to go to the Emma Bridgewater Factory in Stoke on Trent to do some creative painting. I should probably point out at this point that neither of us are fantastic painters so we had already set ourselves up for an interesting adventure..
When we first walked in to the factory we were greeted by two lovely ladies who asked us what we fancied doing and showed us where all the goodies were hiding for us to paint. There was everything you could imagine, many different bowls, mugs galore, plates everywhere, jugs, pots, you name it and it was there on the magical shelves. Having traipsed through everything, we both went for mugs, Jenna for a breakfast mug and me a coca mug.
Sitting down at our table the next questions were firstly what on earth do we paint on to these mugs, luckily there was the most gigantic stamps collection ever, from bees to sandcastles and secondly colours, there was so many colours to wrap our heads around! Luckily on each table is an already glazed plate showing what all the colours looked like once the paint had been placed in the kiln. This was it, picking our chosen colours from the biggest paint table ever.
