Nothing beats a rainy afternoon like paint-your-own pottery studios, where you can paint the town (well, your figurine) red, blue or any other color under the sun. Your little artists-in-training will see their vision of cute animal statuary realized whether they create from clay or paint on a ready-to-go ceramic pottery. Click through our album to see our eight favorites, from Logan Square to Highland Park.

Kids Clay Room

The 411: Curious minds spiral down the rabbit hole at this children’s studio inside Park West Ceramics. Whether kids choose the tools—wheel, molds, etc.—or their hands, they’ll create their own ceramic pieces from wet clay.

Kid appeal: Your littles can put their mark on their project with everything from cookie cutters to stamps.

Extra touch: At the Memorial Day camp (from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.; $45), children will make and paint a memorable clay project.
