AQUARIUS (January 20 – February 18)

🎶 Aquarius, Aquariuuuus 🎶 – You are a deep thinker with a love for getting things done.

PISCES (February 19 – March 20)

Dreamy Pisces, you are wise, empathetic, and fiercely creative. Treat yourself to some people watching and retrospection. Then dive into creativity and self-care and paint an abstract flower vase with a meaningful message, just like Be Kind Vase. Later on, treat yourself to a bouquet of flowers before you pick your fired piece. You deserve it!

ARIES (March 21 – April 19)

Watch out, Aries is coming in hot! Courageous, confident and FUN makes up a typical Aries day. Roll into a studio on a spontaneous adventure one afternoon to paint a Roller Skate Bank that is as bold and trendy as your personality.

TAURUS (April 20 – May 20)

Taurus is an earth sign with love for the arts and a gift for nesting – so we couldn’t not include a colorful planter on their list. Throw a pottery party with some friends or stop in for peaceful afternoon of creativity. Our Abstract Planters add some color to your space that doubles as Instagram gold.

GEMINI (May 21 – June 20)

CANCER (June 21 – July 22)

Cancers are loyal and sympathetic before anything else, making them the ultimate dog’s best friend.

Paint a paw print design with you favorite furry friend plate or dog bowl that will make you smile every time you see it!

LEO (July 23 – August 22)

The trailblazers of the zodiac, you are bold, ambitious and proud to be exactly who you are.

VIRGO (August 23 – September 22)

There are so many words to describe the practical Virgo: analytical, smart, and hardworking to name a few! Your natural kindness and attention to detail make you the perfect match for a design that requires sophistication and precision. The Mosaic Mandala takes a lot of effort, but the finished product is so rewarding!

LIBRA (September 23 – October 22)

Libra, you are a peace and harmony focused air sign. All throughout the histories of several cultures, lemons have symbolized the awakening of positive energy and the repelling of negative energy. A bright and cheerful Lemon Wedge plate reflects your social and sensitive nature.

SCORPIO (October 23 – November 21)

Scorpio, oh, Scorpio! Powerful, valiant, and passionate, you possess a wayward intensity for everything and everyone you love – just like a magical unicorn. Bring in your friends or even a date, and paint a Unicorn design as gorgeous as you are.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 – December 21)

If you’re not living a life of creativity and imagination, are you really living? You, Sagittarius, are a generous soul whose optimistic and forthright attitude are as refreshing as a slice of watermelon on a hot summer day. 🎶 Watermelon sugar 🎶 your way into a studio and paint your own set of Watermelon Bowls in colors as bright as you!

CAPRICORN (December 22 – January 19)

The Capricorn personality is independent, disciplined, steadfast and resourceful. Capricorns assess the situation, make a plan and stick to it – which is why a more complex design suits you to perfection. The Leafy Charcuterie Board doubles as a work of art AND serving platter, but will require patience and persistence to paint this piece of pottery.
