Nothing beats a rainy afternoon like paint-your-own pottery studios, where you can paint the town (well, your figurine) red, blue or any other color under the sun. Your little artists-in-training will see their vision of cute animal statuary realized whether they create from clay or paint on a ready-to-go ceramic pottery. Click through our album to see our eight favorites, from Logan Square to Highland Park.

The 411: There’s something for everyone with more than 1,000 pre-fired bisque pieces to paint. The suburban oasis gives a flat price from beginning to end (i.e., no extra studio or firing fees). Pieces will be fired and ready in 6-10 days.

Kid appeal: Put a little birdhouse in your kid’s soul. Young pet lover can paint accessories from cat bowl to dog treat jars using brushes, sponges, tracing paper and stencils.

Extra touch: For their birthday parties, there’s a cupcake-and-paint option.
