First, pick out the piece you want to bring with you into the new year! Paint it with all of our many color options and enjoy the company of people letting go to the things they do not love in 2024.
Second, write all the things you hate about 2024 on a broken piece of pottery. This can be anything like a bad break up, political ads, or your pet passing. We are here to support you through it all.
Third, SMASH TIME! Throw your broken 2024 piece down and smash it in full glory!
Fourth, feel refreshed for 2025!
