Third Coast Clay Ceramic Studio has gone beyond the idea of paint-it-yourself pottery by offering custom painting services for the bride who doesn't have time to paint it herself! Artists on staff will design and paint your ideas on plates, goblets and serving pieces. A popular idea right now is taking a hand-painted platter with a likeness of the bride and groom to a wedding shower or rehearsal dinner that guests can sign with a special pen. The signatures are baked on later and the platter becomes a timeless serving piece that is food-safe and functional as well as being a decorative keepsake. Other popular ideas are personalizing ring boxes and hand-painted toasting goblets.

All items can be ordered directly from Third Coast Clay 's studio in the Factory of Franklin. 615-599-2200 or Contact Deborah Brannan
