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.

Penguin Foot Pottery

The 411: Kids are in the driver’s seat at Penguin Foot Pottery, where they can create with their hand or take the wheel during drop-in time. Although the wheel can be challenging, with a little practice, you’re little one will be throwing clay like an expert. The studio will fire and glaze piece that you can pick up later.

Kid appeal: Did we mention the kids take a turn at the wheel?

Extra touch: There’s always an instructor to help kids or newbie parents during drop-in hours.
