Our Year-Round Commitment to the Cure

Paintin’ and Kiln’ Time partners with the Komen Central Georgia Race for the Cure® to present handmade ceramic trophies to the race winners. We also donate painted items to the "Bunko for Breast Cancer" event held in February to benefit the Central GA Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. We supply handmade ceramic trophies to the Ladies Pink Ribbon Golf Classic held every April at Healy Point Country Club. The proceeds from this event go to the American Cancer Society, not only for breast cancer research but also for education and assistance right here in our own community.

Our Mission

The mission of Paintin' and Kiln' Time is to provide a fun experience for families, groups and individuals to create unique and personal gifts, keepsakes and heirloom items. By offering this outlet for artistic expression, we hope to build relationships within families, to foster community, and to promote stress relief and self-discovery.
