Rita Cunningham, owner of Possibly Picasso in Summerville, is holding an anniversary party Nov. 6 to thank the store’s customers.

From the studio’s brightly colored walls to its painted ceramics to its passionate owner, everything in Possibly Picasso radiates.

The Summerville-based paint-your-own-pottery studio, which opened its doors six years ago this month, is holding an anniversary celebration today, Friday, Nov. 6.

Rita Cunningham, the studio’s owner and a Summerville resident, is thanking the community by hosting an anniversary party in which people are invited to enjoy free food, mingle with one another and receive discounts on studio fees, which are normally $5, but will be free through Nov. 15.

Cunningham says people of all ages frequent the studio to paint pottery for themselves and for others. People choose from hundreds of ceramic pieces and are provided with paints, brushes, stencils and idea books.

“When people come here, we hope they find it relaxing,” Cunningham said. “I like to think of it as cheap therapy.”

In the half-dozen years since Possibly Picasso opened, Cunningham says she has had the privilege of meeting an assortment of people and making many friends through the studio.

The only contemporary paint-your-own-pottery studio in Summerville, Cunningham says owning the studio has been a tremendous experience.

“It’s all about giving people a place to have fun, paint and enjoy themselves,” Cunningham said. “I like to say that anybody can be a Picasso.”

The anniversary celebration will be held from 5-8 p.m. at the studio, which is located in the Oakbrook Shopping Plaza at 10050 Dorchester Road in Summerville.
