(Clay) Pumpkin Carving Classes!

Sun, 23 Aug 2009 08:47:00 -0700

We've been doing this for a number of years now, and it's always really fun and really popular. We give you a clay ("greenware") pumpkin. It's solid enough to scrape and cut, but still unfired. In the class you can personalize your ceramic pumpkin and then we fire them so they look like the white bisque you're more familiar with in the studio. THEN you can paint your pumpkin any way you'd like. You can probably imagine the creativity possible here. CLASS DETAILS:

The classe is available in Willow Glen, Thursdays at 6pm -- Aug 28, Sept 10, Sept 24, and Oct 1. They are $40 (and require a $10 non-refundable deposit) which gives you all the materials you need -- the pumpkin, the class, firing and your studio fee to come back and paint it. Class size is limited to 12 people, so sign up early.

We hope to this class in Roseville as well, but they aren't yet on the schedule. Call ahead to get on a waitlist and we'll get back in touch once we have the dates.

Countdown to the new website!

Wed, 17 Jun 2009 15:34:00 -0700

I'm getting excited. Petroglyph has operated a website continuously since 1996, with varying degrees of satisfaction. But this is the best we've had!!! For nostalgia, here is the old (old) Petroglyph home page back in Sept '97:

New! Petro Gift Cards

Mon, 11 May 2009 23:50:00 -0700

Petroglyph is happy to announce new Petro Gift Cards. These new cards can be 'filled' up with any amount you'd like, and they can be refilled indefinitely. While they make great gifts for that creative friend, they are also nice for kids: Set a budget for your child, fill the card up to that limit, and let them charge their Petro visits on their own "credit card." Kids love it and it helps teach them something about handling finances.

We'll also offer a range of Gift Card specials throughout the year, which we'll post here when they are coming up. So treat yourself or give the gift of Petroglyph: to your co-workers, your staff, your boyfriend (a nice hint) or kids. Available now at all Petroglyph locations!
