New Paint-Your-Own Pottery Studio Opens In Westfield

WESTFIELD, NJ — A new paint-your-own pottery studio has opened in Westfield.

Have a Nice Clay opened at 221 North Avenue East (next to Jay’s Cycle) this past Saturday.

The studio was opened by Westfield resident Roberta Loew, which is her second downtown business. Loew also owns Acting Out Premiere Acting School.

Mayor Shelley Brindle said Loew is among the "growing number of current business owners who are doubling down on their investment in Westfield, an incredible sign of their confidence in the future of our downtown."

The idea to open Have A Nice Clay came up in a conversation between Loew and general manager Kim Kayhua, who both share a genuine love of sculpting, crafting and painting their own artwork.

"Now each have brought their own unique talents and ideas together to create Have a Nice Clay. The vision for our studio space is to offer an environment where folks of all ages can come and express themselves through the various creative outlets we offer," according to haveaniceclay.com.

The studio is open to all ages and offers classes and summer camp along with parties and private events.
