Jenny's Clay House Opens Tuesday
For nine years Jen Faber, owner of Jenny's Clay House (Paint Your Own Pottery Studio), was in the business of collections. "I graduated with a degree in marketing and business," she told me. "I started painting bisque as a hobby... and then I thought how much fun this would be to own as a business. One day I was antiquing on Hertel and I parked my car and looked over and saw this building. I had been looking for something exactly like this - a freestanding unique space. I couldn't believe it... there it was."
Jenny's Clay House will be the perfect business for anyone looking for a relaxing indoor hobby this winter. "We're going to be catering to kids' birthday parties, bridal and baby showers, couples' and ladies' night... and parties can bring their own food and drinks. We even have a room for private parties. And just think of the snowstorms... we'll be open for those when most businesses close. We want parents to think of us on rainy days. Plus, we don't want people to be afraid to come in who may not be artistic. We supply patterns and stamps and sponges to help decorate the bisque pieces."
For more info on the process of bisque pottery, check out this post. It's easy, pick out a piece, paint it, leave it for a week, and then pick it up. They're going to display the finished pieces in the front window so people can see their works of art when they come to pick them up.
Jenny's Clay House is located at 1599 Hertel Avenue in Buffalo. 716.835.4386

My Favorite Buildings
After reading a recent Buffalo News story about funding and delays in renovation of the Buffalo State Psychiatric Hospital I was reminded of how much I love that building. This structure designed by H.H. Richardson is massive and I love the whole thing. However I really love the part that no one thinks of, the 1/4 mile long wings (or should I say wing since one wing was lopped off in the 60's). This building is not considered to be one of Richardson's best buildings. But, t …

My Favorite Buildings
This house on Richmond Avenue is very unusual for Buffalo. It stands out among its wooden neighbors not only in material but also in detail and form. Buffalo is overwhelmingly constructed of wood with brick coming in a distant second as a material. Stone houses are very rare. Also rare is the Palazzo styling and shape of this house. Buffalo's Queen Anne Victorians are strong expressions of Buffalo's new money attitude in the late 1800's and early 1900's. Unlike staid Delawa …
