Can you hear the wedding bells? It's that time of the year when it seems that there is a wedding or anniversary to celebrate every other weekend.
Skip the  gift cards and get the special couple a personalized, sentimental and timeless gift: a handcrafted wedding plate! We have so many artists coming through the studio creating wedding plates, platters, and even matching mugs for newly weds. These heart warming keepsakes are so special because they are all functional (food safe, microwave, and dishwasher safe) as well as designed specially and hand painted by someone meaningful. So we collected a few of our favorite wedding designs to inspire and spark creativity for your next loved ones wedding! 

Love these designs but not feeling creative? Think they'd be perfect for you're favorite bride to be? You're in luck!  These to designs above are easily customizable with the couple's names and date of the wedding!  Hands on Pottery works with an amazing artist that creates these 2 masterpieces!  If there's something else you have in mind, our artists will work with you to create something you'll love!

Matching mug sets are a cute and unique wedding gift!

There are so many ways to design a wedding plate whether it's the newly weds last name, a picture of their engagement, a cartoon of the couple, or a classic design on a platter. The styles range from cute and quirky to clean and classy! Our studio assistants can help you every step of the way from the brainstorming process all the way to the color choosing. We have our 'print, trace, and print' technique to help with tracing specific designs and lettering, we have fun stamps, and a large selection of stencils to give you all the tools you need to make a phenomenal piece of art. We even have a writing request option. If desired, when you're done painting background and designs, one of our artists will help you with intricate writing to finish off your masterpiece. We love to help!

A great idea for bachelorette/ bachelor parties, wedding receptions, and family get-togethers.  This takes a bit of planning ahead of time, as the pieces need to be painted and fired before signing.  Then, a special paint pen can be used for all the guests to sign hassle-free.  The final step is baking this paint on in your oven at home.  It makes a great gift for the bride and groom or as a memento of a special wedding anniversary, as each person can leave a personal message on the special day.
