The daily specials are still chalked on the wall at the old Tribe Road Kitchen on Reid Street, but the space is no longer a café.

Doris Wade of Endless Creations Pottery Studio, took over the location on July 1.

The building at 87 Reid Street has been on the market for some time.

“No one has bought the building,” Ms Wade said. “I think they just decided to rent it. The location is great. We are right on the corner of King and Reid Street.”

Since she opened, she has painted the front porch to be colourful and welcoming, and put up her art work around the studio. But because she’s been busy running camps all summer she hasn’t yet had a chance to completely set things up the way she wants.

When the camps finish, she plans to install an art garden in the grassy space next to the studio.

In the meantime, she’s pleased that her campers now have a safe place to play.

She was previously located just down the road, in a building directly across from the Cavendish parking lot.

She’s a little sad that the new studio doesn’t have great views of Hamilton Harbour like the old one did, but it has plenty of other advantages.

For a start, it’s bigger, and has allowed her to double the number of campers she can take from ten to 20.

And there’s enough space that she can keep the campers in one room, while she accepts adult walk-in customers in the other.

She has also been able to increase the number of potters’ wheels clients can use from three to five.

“It is working out great,” she said. “The kids have got to experience the potter’s wheel and build stuff. They poured casting moulds. We have done it all. It is a great feeling to have that space for kids to have that full aspect of the camp.

“Before, it was like the kids were playing in a china shop. I had to tell them, don’t run there. Now we have a space they can enjoy.”

And there is enough square footage that she can host adults who walk in for fun with pottery, while her summer camp students create in another room.

Thanks to the extra space she has been able to expand from three potter’s wheels to five.

Ms Wade hopes to soon start holding fundraisers at Endless Creations.

“I would love to do a fundraiser for the Women’s Resource Centre and also for autism,” she said. “I would also love to do something for lupus, an illness that I have.”

She might also rent the space out to other artists, sometimes, who want to hold functions or classes.

“I am looking to host a few art events myself, utilising the space,” she said. “It’s great for gatherings, corporate events, family reunions or anything people want to get artsy with. We are also mobile so we can also do off-site events. It is really working out great. I am also still doing acrylic pouring classes.”

Her summer camp runs until September 9, with a discounted rate for the last week.

During the school year, she runs a Saturday “mud club” that allows children to come to the studio to create and have fun with pottery. She also has a range of pottery classes for adults.
