What an exciting summer it has been at the Studio!!!  We are finally settling in to our new space.  It is so open, airy and colorful, we are really pleased with how it is coming along.  As you may know, when I first started "Big Dog Pots" I was creating pieces from my property, attending area fine art shows and donating my proceeds to 2 local animal rescue groups.  I was not able to volunteer at that time due to an illness in the family, so my donations were my way of supporting my community.

As a way to say thank you to all those who have supported Big Dog Pots since we opened in 2014 we are offering a FREE PARTY for up to 30 of your friends, family, co-workers, or whom ever else you might choose.  This will be a party where you can all come in and paint pottery mugs ON US!!!!!

In order to be considered in the ultimate drawing for the FREE PARTY the winner must meet these qualifications:

- Must volunteer or contribute to a local not for profit.
- Must be nominated by someone other than themselves or a family member.
- Must live in either Fauquier, Loudoun, Prince William,  or Rappahannock counties.
- Nominator MUST LIKE Big Dog Pots Pottery Facebook Page
- Nominator MUST give a brief reason why their nominee is incredibly AWESOME and deserves this FREE PARTY.
- Nominator MUST LIKE and SHARE the corresponding post on our Facebook Page.
-All persons attending the party must be willing to be photographed for publication.

That's it!

We wanted to say THANK YOU and we hope to have a LOT of nominees.  Who are you going to nominate???  NOMINATE your special candidate below!!!!

So WHAT is ALL this construction about anyway????

We get asked that all the time, and it is a good thing for sure.

Big Dog Pots opened its doors in March of 2014.  Since then the art making center has been well received in the community and has become a destination for travelers from the greater Northern Virginia region and beyond.

In response to demand, we are adding 3,000 square feet to the Studio.  In addition to Walk-in Pottery Painting we will be adding Fused Glass to our roster of Walk-In art making choices.

When the construction is complete we will have SEATING for 50.  Think parties, events, bridal showers, off-site team building, and more. Our Pottery Painting will be greatly expanded, and we will be adding many new EVENTS for children, adults and families.

We are thrilled with our construction to date and in the coming weeks you will see a NEW ROOF going on and our doors and windows being installed.

Stay tuned for more news on our new offerings (some are still top secret), and on the progress of the construction.
