Hi Friends! Come paint tonight 12/15 we're open 10-8. We still have lots of ornaments and Xmas pottery and tons of other fun, new stuff to paint! Plus, the Factory at Franklin is mixing festive cocktails in the lobby from 4-7. Look for the Jolly Bar Cart next to the Giant Tree!

Y'all this is truly vintage. My good friend painted it back in 1999 for our annual Xmas party. I'm the one on the left in the one-piece. 😂 It's also the year I opened at the Factory. I'm happy to say we still have the party every year and bring out the Christmas platter! I'd love to see your annual Xmas traditions! Post them and tag us!

We always guarantee a 7-day turnaround time for picking up pottery but at Christmas 🎄 we like to add a few days to that just in case anything happens to our kilns. 🔥 This hasn't happened in 22 years but better safe than sorry! Paint by Wed 12/14 if you want to make sure you have pieces back in a week. That's just around the corner! We're open an extra hour on Thursday's through December to help you out. Mon-Wed 10-7, Thurs-Sat 10-8, Sun 1-6. Gifts from the heart ❤️ are the best gifts. 🎁

Funny story. This family was painting pottery with their cousin whose life dream was to be bitten by a shark. 😳 They took her to the Atlanta Aquarium where she got to swim with sharks but alas, none bit her. So they decided to paint her this piece called "shark bite!" It's not the real thing but it's pretty cute and a lot tamer!

I want to take a minute to thank you all for letting us be a part of your special occasions and family traditions year after year. I have watched your families grow and it warms my heart to see familiar faces (like Brilee here) and lots of new faces coming in to make memories. Special thanks to my wonderful team of spunky mermaids who make sure you're having an experience worth repeating. Enjoy your Thanksgiving. We'll see you soon! ❤️❤️❤️

Recipe for a Thanksgiving dish: paint a tree, take it home with some fun fall colored paints and decorate the tree with fingerprint leaves! Start a tradition of holiday plates from your own home! If you don't want to paint the tree yourself, we can paint one for you for $25 with custom lettering. We can do Xmas tree plates too!

Brilee was our first official at the Coast! Her Aunt Sara and her mom Melissa both worked at the Coast when they were in high school. Brilee brought pics of herself as a baby and as 4-year old wearing one of our signature aprons which we still wear today! Thanks for sharing your memories with us and creating another one with your besties and family. Maybe you’ll work here too one day! ❤️

That’s right! We are taking a long weekend. Doesn’t happen often but after a long, hot, busy summer this team deserves it! Happy Labor Day!!

Fun fact: The traditional eighth anniversary gifts are bronze and pottery. Bronze is formed by combining copper and tin, which are stronger when paired together—just like a loving couple. Meanwhile, pottery is crafted with soft clay that molds together to form a sturdy foundation. These 2 adorable sisters painted pottery gifts from Mom to give to Dad. 🥰

Our shelves were embarrassingly bare this past weekend. The week before school starts is always busy with friends celebrating the end of summer. We are stocking back up this week and will have more fun stuff to paint like this magical unicorn pumpkin. Halloween pottery is in and it’s fun! Yay fall. Thank you for a wonderful summer.

Loving these new big pitchers! Even if you don’t use them as pitchers, they make great vases and art objects. This one is just black on white. Pop in some colorful zinnias or sunflowers and brighten up your kitchen! We have several different styles and sizes.

Artist uses magazine paper to depict ‘best small town in America’

Local artist paints some of our favorite Franklin locations with paper! Check out her work of the Factory at Franklin!

Carolyn Beehler’s art often looks like an impressionist-style oil painting. But with a closer look, the true character of the artwork is unveiled: it’s made with tiny pieces of magazine
