     I solemnly swear that I’m a grown human with a major thing for Harry Potter, and there is no shame in my game, so don't try and Horcrux this up for me!  No lie, I once spent over six hours at the Warner Bros. Studio Lot in London touring the real sets and original costumes from the films, so yeah, I’m sort of qualified to speak on this front. Harry is where it’s at. My generation grew up with the Hogwartians (is that a word?) and considered Harry, Ron, and Hermione as our own, personal friends. I am a Gryffindor, through and through, and I just need to share with you our newest claypen additions that I’m so psyched out of my mind about -- HARRY POTTER SILK SCREENS!  This might be the best thing we've offered yet, in my nerdy opinion.
    Think of a silkscreen like the ultimate adult stencil.  It’s made out of a super thin material with microscopic holes that allow paint through, but just enough for fine-detail work.  You just use your fingertip to apply, peel the screen off, and you've got a pretty magical finished project that looks just like the real thing.  This is the first time we've ever offered anything Harry Potter related, and we're super excited to see all of the majesty as each item comes out of the kiln.  Choose whatever piece of pottery you'd like to paint that night and apply one of your favorite Harry Potter themed images and symbols faster than you can say Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans. 

Here's a list of some of our available silkscreen options: 
  • house symbols (varying sizes) 
  • deathly hallows symbol (alone + with "always")
  • the golden snitch 
  • "mischief managed" (multiple versions)
  • "i solemnly swear that i am up to no good"
  • platform 9 3/4 
  • "don't let the muggles get you down"
  • "the muggle struggle is real" 
  • lumos nox spell
  • expecto patronum! spell 
  • stag patronus with "always" 
  • leaky cauldron pub sign
And more! 
Can you wear costumes?  We hope you do!
Can you bring food or drinks?  You better.
Will you be tested on your Harry Potter knowledge?  You bet.  We will be featuring some Harry Potter trivia throughout the night for some extra fun.  Get ready for it!  We hope to see you there.

See you there, witches.
