Local “paint your own” pottery studio, As You Wish, celebrates its 19th anniversary and business success with the opening of its 7th studio in Glendale, Ariz.

One of the first paint-your-own pottery studios in the nation and the first in Arizona, As You Wish’s planned 2,109 square-foot studio next to AMC Theatres at the
Westgate Entertainment District, is a formula that has worked well for many of its other studios in the Phoenix metro area, yielding yearly growth of 5% in the last several years.

“Westgate Entertainment District is a natural fit for our seventh store,” says Scott Neff, who owns As You Wish with wife Lori Neff. The couple lives in Chandler, Ariz., where they opened their last studio in 2012. “We look forward to becoming part of the Glendale community and reaching new customers and families to help them create special memories through creative adventures at As You Wish.”

With the Super Bowl scheduled for Feb. 2015 at nearby University of Phoenix stadium, As You Wish expects many new families will join residents to opt for its special “Artistic Adventure.” While the studio opens it doors officially on September 20th, customers are invited to Glendale’s Grand Opening to enjoy discounted $1.90 sitting fees (usually $8 for adults and $6 for kids 12 and under) and $19 Gift Cards which will be raffled off several times each day during the
Anniversary weekend on Sept. 20th and 21st.

The same anniversary offer is available at all seven As You Wish studios that weekend.

“This is truly a celebration for our customers who have shared their time, experiences and memories in our studios,” saya owner Lori Neff. “We are proud to be a place for people to come together in a safe, fun, family environment and share an artistic adventure.”
