Kiln & Kettle

“"It was just the best experience ever!!" - Me, texting my husband after leaving the studio 💞 I had my eye on Kiln & Kettle since a friend told me that a ceramic painting studio was opening nearby. I had been wanting to go for MONTHS and yesterday I finally got to experience the magic. ✨ Shireen is a person who can only be described as abundance in motion. The warm vibe she puts out may as well be creative cat nip when you're staring at a blank clay canvas. I was with my talented artist friend who had a concept in mind. I sat there staring at my piece and just felt an influx of joy and comfort which allowed me to easily get into flow with my project. All the tools you could wish for are at the table: sponges, water, all the brushes you could need, personal paints, and even samples so you know how it will look once your creation is baked. Speaking of baked: THE CAKE!! 🍰 We have to talk about the cake. We had the chocolate, carrot, gold dusted cake. It was unlike any chocolate cake I've had in the Netherlands and what I have often dreamed the cake from the movie Matilda to taste like. 🪄 Magical. The studio environment is airy and bright. Shireen had on a banging playlist and was available at all times for questions or just to chat. As a homesick Canadian, I would describe this experience as a heart-opening remedy for all that ails you. Feel like playing like a (or with your) child? ✅ Want to spend some phone-free time? ✅ Feeling disconnected and need some nurturing? ✅ Need some me-time to create with your hands? ✅ Seeking a gift for a friend and want it to make something meaningful? ✅ Like cake? ✅ The studio has it all! I see myself cozying up at Kiln & Kettle again and again this season. Thank you!!!! 💜”
