What you need to know

Claying Around is a paint-your-own pottery studio at 1378 Hendersonville Road in South Asheville, open Tuesday through Sunday. Pick a mug, plate or figurine off the shelf, paint it however you like, and they fire it for you. It goes well past pottery painting, too. You can try glass fusing, canvas painting, hand building with clay, silver clay and pottery wheel lessons. Walk-ins are welcome for everything except the wheel, which needs a reservation.

Local's Tip

Call ahead if you're bringing 8 or more, and book the pottery wheel before you go. Weekday afternoons are the calmest time to settle in for a long paint.

What the locals say

Parents here know it as the rainy-day save and the easy birthday party. Couples come for low-key date nights, and plenty of people who swear they can't draw leave proud of a lopsided mug they actually made.
