Dad's Day!


Hand prints are a great way to make your gift personal!
 Can you believe it’s summer already? Father’s Day is just around the corner (June 19th), but there’s still plenty of time to paint! A personalized dinner plate, frame, and change dish are all fun ideas that dad will appreciate.
Hot Pots has I Heart Dad Mugs and Plates for you to create your own design!

Here are some themes to get your creativity going:
Daddy’s Little Caddy (for the golf enthusiast)
You Mean the World to Us
Wild About Daddy
Our Dad’s outta this world!
“Grill Master” platter


Plus! If you come in with dad to paint on Father’s Day, your Dad’s studio fee is on us!
