ARLINGTON, VA — Paint Your Heart Out, offering pottery, hand-building with clay, is celebrating its grand opening be Saturday, March 21 at The Village at Shirlington.

Spoth began painting at Paint Your Heart Out when she was young and later joined as staff at the Occoquan location.

“We love creating things by hand and opening doors to artistic discovery,” she said. “For us, art is about sparking imagination, building community, and creating moments of joy. We are excited for the Shirlington community to gather, experiment, and express themselves through art. We chose Shirlington Village for its welcoming, walkable community which reminds us of Occoquan.”
