Paint it your way.
The Ceramic Fluid Art Animals experience at Creative Escapes Art Cafe is one of our most beloved activities — and hands down our most family-friendly. From $25, guests of all ages (2 and up!) choose from a selection of ceramic animals and bring them to life with vibrant fluid art painting techniques. Bears, dolphins, sharks, turtles, unicorns, dogs, cats, and more — each character becomes a completely unique, one-of-a-kind keepsake. Once painted, each piece is professionally coated with a clear resin finish for a gorgeous, lasting gloss. Perfect for birthday parties, family vacation days, and anyone who wants a creative experience that's accessible to even the youngest artists.

4Resin Coat & Pickup
After painting, each piece is professionally coated with a clear resin finish for a glossy, lasting look. Because of curing time, your animal will be ready for pickup in 1–2 days. We also ship — just ask!
