Welcome to Creative Cove
Christmas In July
Christmas in July Preorders Are Now Open!
Get ahead of the holiday rush with Creative Cove’s Christmas in July preorder collection. We have put together a special selection of larger Christmas ceramics, holiday pottery pieces, ornament bundles,
and festive paint-your-own pottery items that we do not always keep fully stocked in the studio.
This is the perfect time to order your Christmas pieces early so you can relax, plan ahead, and make sure your favourites are ready for the holiday season. Whether you are looking for a cozy Christmas craft night, planning a family holiday tradition, hosting a staff party, organizing a school or community event,
or just want to stock up on festive pieces to paint at home, our preorder collection is here to make the season easier.
Preorders are 20% off until July 15th, so get your order in early to save. Orders will continue to be taken until mid-August, then our Christmas preorder window will close so we can get everything ordered, organized, and ready for pickup by November.
You will also find 10-pack ornament bundles, perfect for holiday parties, family painting nights, office events, classrooms, group activities, and anyone who wants to get ahead of the Christmas chaos.
Browse our Christmas in July preorder collection today and make sure your holiday ceramics, ornaments, and festive pottery pieces are ready when the season arrives!
Paint Your Own Pottery & Art Studio
What We’re Known For
Proudly Canadian and founded in Alberta, Creative Cove was shaped by Yukon and Northern BC roots and small-community values with a belief that creativity should feel welcoming, accessible, and meaningful for everyone.
Everything we offer is thoughtfully designed to be approachable, relaxing, and easy to step into, whether you’re visiting on a whim or planning something special.
Paint Your Own Pottery
Our signature experience and the heart of Creative Cove.
Drop in and choose from a wide selection of pottery pieces including mugs, bowls, plates, planters, trinkets, and seasonal designs.
Our pricing is simple and transparent, with pieces starting at $15 and no additional studio, kiln, or glaze fees.
Create at your own pace, enjoy a relaxed atmosphere, and come back as many times as you need your piece is fully yours from start to finish.
Feel free to drop in during open studio hours if you're feeling spontaneous.
If you're more of a planner, we recommend booking a table ahead of time so we can have everything ready for you when you arrive.
Thank you for the incredible community support. We truly would not be here without you.

We have some great overflow parking options available just up the road from the studio (see photo for details!). We kindly ask that you avoid parking directly across the street, as our lovely senior neighbors have had some difficulty getting out of their driveway. Thank you so much for helping us keep things safe and neighborly! 💛
Overflow Parking
