Rainy Day
Two decades of rainy afternoons turned into fridge art in West Van: paint pottery, fuse glass, or grab a sip-and-paint.
Dundarave (Marine Drive)
More infoBella Ceramica on Dundarave's Marine Drive has been turning rainy North Shore afternoons into fridge-worthy art for two decades, and the secret is the options: paint pottery, fuse glass, splash a canvas, or steady your brush hand at a sip-and-paint. No appointment, no experience, no judgement. Pick a different craft each and trade critiques. Pieces need about five days to fire, so the date quietly extends by a happy week.
No appointment needed, just walk in and pick your weapon: paint pottery, fuse glass, splash a canvas, or do a sip-and-paint if you'd like a drink steadying your brush hand. The fun is each tackling a different project and trading critiques while the North Shore weather rages. Budget about two hours, and remember pieces fire in roughly five days, so you'll come back to collect. A relaxed Dundarave stroll or coffee makes the natural next move.
