More About Us
At Crock A Doodle, we bring people together to create, laugh, share and grow... transforming ready-to-paint pottery pieces into their own colourful creations. Painted pieces are professionally glazed and kiln-fired to become functional serving pieces, unique gifts and precious keepsakes.
Our bright and cheerful pottery painting studio welcomes people of all kinds:
- The on-site party room is a big hit for birthdays and special events, plus we offer a calendar of classes, workshops and seasonal events to keep people coming back again and again.
- For women, Crock A Doodle offers pottery-painting workshops and classes, as well as creative activities for girls' nights, bridal showers and special occasions.
- For children, we offer birthday parties, seasonal events, camps and classes, as well as creative programming for schools, teams and clubs.
- The opportunity extends throughout the community to corporate teambuilders, fundraisers and recreational programs for groups of every kind.
We're Catching ON! Crock A Doodle has been featured regularly in the media including TV segments on CBC Newsworld as a "Made in Canada" business success, Breakfast Television and many local stations. We've had stories in Mompreneur Magazine, Biz Magazine and Franchise Canada, as well as numerous community newspapers. We've earned some prestigious awards through the Canadian Franchise Association. Suffice it to say...the buzz is quickly building and Crock A Doodle is catching on!
