Plaster Cottage of Clermont | Spots About Town | Orlando Area Business Feature

Yes, I am posting Spots About Town a day late. Valentine's Day was a little crazy around here!  Happy Thursday Friday, and Happy Valentine's Day (a day late)!  Welcome to my new feature here on the Lynda Payne Photography blog... Spots About Town.  I'll be blogging about all the great spots to shop, eat, have fun, be entertained, or just take some time for you.  I'll be featuring a business every other Thursday here on the blog so come back to learn about some of the great local businesses in and around Clermont, Orlando, and everywhere in between.

This week I'm featuring Plaster Cottage of Clermont located at 1203 West Highway 50, Suite E in the Emerald Lakes Shopping Plaza.  This spot offers a great place to have some fun and get creative.   Read on to find out more!

Plaster Cottage is a "do-it-yourself" art studio.  You can paint plaster or ceramics, or create your own mosaic or unique piece of jewelry.

Plaster pieces are painted with acrylic paints and a spray sealer can be applied.  Glitter can be added too!  These pieces don't get fired, so you can take them home with you the same day, and the prices start at only $1 each!

 

Prices include all paint, finish, and firing, so there is never a studio or firing fee.  Here are just a few of the colors available to use on the plaster items.

Booster seats and a play area with toys and a TV are available, so feel free to bring your little ones!  My son absolutely LOVES this place!  When we get out of the car, he knows where we are, and he can't wait to get inside.  He's always very anxious to get started, and he likes to use a lot of color as you can see.  Oh, and that paint comes off of him easily with a wipe or a little soap and water!

 

These are some of the ceramic items that can be painted.  These are fired, and unless it's a busy time of year, pieces can typically be picked up in one week.

Just a few of the color options for the fired ceramic pieces.

Want to plan a girls' night out?  Just call or email ahead of time, and you can make arrangements for an evening event.  You can bring in food, and there are group discounts available.  Check out the FAQ page on the Plaster Cottage website for more details.

 
Plaster Cottage hosts birthday parties as well.  They are great!  I know because I've been to one.  Parties include reserved tables, a party table, you can bring in whatever you'd like for refreshments, and they even have a freezer to keep ice cream cold for you too!  The birthday boy or girl's name will be displayed on a paper banner in the window, they receive a gift certificate, and Plaster Cottage staff provides assistance with projects as needed.  More details can be found here on their website.

Friday nights are Kids Nights at Plaster Cottage and are very popular.  Bring your kids over at 6:00 pm for plaster painting, pizza, and fun!  Each child may choose two plaster pieces to paint.  Also included is pizza from Spiros next door and juice, water, or soda to drink.  Parents may sign in and drop off if children are "school age" or stay and hang out with the kids.  Pick up is 8:00 pm.  The cost is $12 per child.  If your child wishes to paint ceramics, create a mosaic or design a piece of jewelry, the cost is the price of the project plus $3 for pizza and a drink.

You can keep up to date with Plaster Cottage of Clermont on their facebook page here and visit their website here.
