Paint on Pots Tjuvholmen
Lille Stranden 3, 0252 Oslo, Norge 2 hours
This is a bright studio at Tjuvholmen. You each pick a piece of white pottery and get to paint it exactly how you want. It is very relaxing to sit with a brush while chatting. Afterwards, they fire the pieces for you so they turn out looking great.
Why it works
Keeping your hands busy with something creative makes the conversation flow naturally without any pressure.
What to order
Paint a cup for the other person. That way, you have a solid excuse to meet up again to hand over the gift once it is finished.
Best time to go
A quiet mid-week afternoon.
What it costs
NOK 500–800 for two
