The changes keep on coming – September 2020 update
2020 has been quite a year. Bit of an understatement, don’t you think? We have made a few more updates to how things are happening at DIYC. We’ve got a system in place for how we’re handling parties and reservations for the remainder of 2020, and we hope it will make it easier for everyone […]
Read MoreHealth and Safety Precautions at DIYC
We have re-opened, but of course there are limitations and we want to tell you what we are doing for the safety of our staff and customers.

Did you know that your child’s school could have me come to visit? And that I can help with fundraising when I do? Every year starting in September, I travel to preschools and daycares in Birmingham to start the Christmas pottery. It’s a tradition we’ve been doing for years, and we’d love to add your […]
Read MoreNot just for kiddos…
