EXPRESSIONS Duxbury

EXPRESSIONS is a paint your own pottery place and one of those places that I keep saying I’m going to bring the kids to or even go to for a Ladies Night Out.  But…I haven’t gotten my butt over there yet!  Well, I noticed on Facebook that they are having fun kids workshops Wednesday, Thursday and Friday during school vacation week.  Things like bubble painting, glass fusing and more.  You can see the whole listing of workshops here.   Everything sounds like so much fun and I think they kids would really like it.   Space is limited so you should sign up in advance.

And if I don’t get over there during vacation with the kids….I’m definitely booking a girls night there soon!
