A visit to Petroglyph

"A"'s friend told her about this place called "Petroglyph". and "A" had been telling me for about a month that she wanted to go to the place. We got the opportunity to visit it during the kid's spring break.

Petroglyph, in Willow Glen-San Jose, is an art studio for kids as well as the grown-ups. You pick the ceramic items that you would like to paint. The paints, brushes, sponges, stencils, stamps, stickers are provided so you can let your imagination run loose and create your own masterpiece. You are charged for the sitting fee and the ceramic item and you can work on your art as long as you want. Your item is then put in the kiln for the colors to fasten and brighten up.(Science behind it: The paints contain sand and when heated the sand turns to glass and becomes shiny and glossy). It can be picked up after 2-3 days.

"A" and "I" picked a dolphin and a cup with butterfly respectively. They spent about 1hr to 1:15 hrs in painting. It was a fun activity for the afternoon, but a little expensive too(I felt the ceramic base items were a little overly priced)!
