You can purchase handmade pottery on site, or learn to make it yourself through a class. You can also book the space for private events. They proudly serve only local coffee roasters, including Dr. Beans, JBrooks, and Vice & Virtue.

Paul and Lisa Miller have been combining their talent for over 12 years as they spread their love of the arts and teaching within the Memphis community. Originally operated out of their home studio, Easel Town was created with the purpose of providing unique, fine art instruction for children -- especially  in an environment that encouraged problem solving and a willingness to make mistakes. Easel Town recently opened their first brick & mortar location, offering art classes for pre-school age through high school. In addition to art, they offer sewing classes, computer animation, after-school tutoring services, and most recently, birthday parties. Watch out for their summer camp schedule as well!

While technically located in MS, we'll give them a pass because we love them so much!

Originally from Iowa, Lance David White is a local artist with a flair for color. Bold and bright, Lance paints images that sometimes reflect nature, sometimes still objects and sometimes his love of New Orleans. Known for his comical gnomes (and sometimes his no-no gnomes!), Lance's sense of humor shines through his art. In addition to commission pieces, you can admire Lance's work in area galleries. Lance enjoys selling his artwork at local craft fairs and art festivals. He soon plans to expand his talent to painting [birthday] parties and home-school group lessons.
