Polka Dot Pot — Local services in Winchester

This place is honestly a blast! To say I got lost in time would be an understatement. Polka Dot Pot's selection of paintable items was vast compared to many similar places. So vast, in fact, it took me over 20 minutes just to decide on a piece to paint. They have pieces perfect for young children and pieces so detailed that you can easily get lost in the process for hours.

Brought the kids here for Father's Day. It worked out really well. The variety of pottery to paint is huge. Some functional, some silly, all wonderful.
