Where clay meets fairy tale
Step into a story. On June 27th, Rebekah Cook Art 
and New England Carriage Co. are joining forces for the most enchanting 
morning Wakefield has ever seen — a hands-on pottery painting class 
followed by a genuine horse-drawn carriage ride.
Participants will create their very own ceramic piece, then trade the
 studio for the open air and ride away in a storybook carriage straight 
out of Cinderella. Brickley’s ice cream seals the magic.
Whether you’re surprising your little princess, celebrating with 
friends, or simply treating yourself to something extraordinary — this 
is a day you’ll talk about long after the clay is fired!
Book your time <a href="https://rebekahcookart.com/princess-pottery-carriage-ride/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">here</a>
Please note that if you plan to sign up multiple children, you have to do it one-by-one
