A Creative Rainy-Day Activity Near Cape May

When rain interrupts your beach plans—or you simply need a break from the sun—pottery painting offers an enjoyable indoor activity for children, teenagers and adults.

Choose from our studio selection of mugs, bowls, plates, figurines, banks, coastal designs, seasonal pieces and other pottery. We provide the paints, brushes and supplies you need to decorate your piece at your own pace.

After you finish painting, our studio will glaze and kiln-fire your pottery to give it a beautiful, lasting finish.

Visiting Cape May on Vacation?

You do not need to be a local to paint at Island Studio. We welcome Cape May vacationers, weekend visitors and seasonal residents looking for a memorable Jersey Shore experience.

Since fired pottery takes approximately one week to complete, we can ship your group’s finished pieces to one address after firing. Additional shipping addresses may be arranged for an extra charge.

Instead of trying to fit another pickup into your vacation schedule, you can enjoy painting and have your finished Cape May vacation keepsake delivered after you return home.

Paint-your-own pottery is a flexible activity that works well for:

• Families visiting Cape May
• Children and teenagers
• Adults and couples
• Girls’ weekends
• Bachelorette parties
• Birthday celebrations
• Family reunions
• Wedding groups
• Grandparents and grandchildren
• Rainy-day vacation activities

Everyone may select and paint a different pottery piece, so each guest can create something that reflects their own interests and style.

Advance reservations are strongly recommended for groups so we can prepare appropriate seating and supplies.
