Holiday gift giving calls for creativity when budgets are tightened, and local businesses make it affordable and easy to do just that.   Art Attack, the area’s largest paint-your-own-pottery and glass fusing studio located in Flemington, offers many unique options for personalized and affordable gifts. 

At prices ranging from just $7-20, customers can walk in to Art Attack’s retail studio and paint unique and personal ceramic gifts.   The most popular items are ceramic mugs that say I Love You Mom,  handprint plates made by grandkids, funky margarita glasses and glass-fused picture frames and jewelry.  According to Mary Jane Custy, co-owner, ”When budgets are tight handmade and personalized gifts provide a finished product that gives beyond its physical presence.  Giving a keepsake- a functional work of art that truly gives the creator and recipient joy is a much more unique option than giving the latest technology for an i-phone!”   And since personalization is so popular, Art Attack artists are personalizing gifts for free this year.  

A popular gift this year is the Art Attack People Plate.  This platter has 3-dimensional ceramic people affixed to it that look like your family!  This unique keepsake will surely silence a room upon opening!  Or if schedules are tight the Quickprints is a popular solution.  Just stop at the studio, place your childâ s handprints on a plate, and Art Attack will do the rest, all for $16!   All works of art are food safe after being glazed and kiln-fired.

Because Art Attack knows that the act of making gifts is as memorable as receiving them there are also many fun events at the studio for kids and adults alike such as Girls Night Out Holiday Workshop & Shopping on November 12, a Paint With Santa on December 6 and several Kids Night Out gift making workshops.  Schools, Scouts and groups of all sizes can also schedule one hour Ornament Parties for $7-$14 per person.  ”We’ve scheduled these events because we realize the act of making memories during the process of creating a functional work of art far outweighs the limited time thrill of opening an electronic gadget” quotes Lisa Bill, co-owner of Art Attack.  Events require pre-registration by calling 908-284-0587.

Event schedules, online gift certificates and project photos are available at their website.  There is no appointment needed to walk in and make projects.  Art Attack is located at 14 Commerce Street in Flemington across from the ShopRite and Dutch Country Farmers Market and is open Wednesday through Sunday.  To learn more and view projects visit their website or call 908-284-0587.
