Great Ideas for Your Home

Create customized place settings for your family Kirsten Obert, manager/owner of Color Me Mine in the Shops at Riverwoods, says it's not difficult to create your own custom place settings. "Your custom place settings don't have to be artistic. Even if your 3-year-old works on his or her own plate, it's OK. What they come up with is special. It's their own work," says Obert. Color Me Mine staff can offer their counsel to amateur ceramic artists. "We can help people pick out plates and colors. We also have many different types of stamps and stencils," Obert says. After your family is finished painting their own glasses and plates, Color Me Mine will take care of glazing the project and firing your new master pieces in a kiln. A few days later you can come back and pick-up your newly-created, treasured family heirloom.
