Today we’d like to introduce you to Aimee P. Fusaro.
Aimee, please share your story with us. How did you get to where you are today?
I assumed ownership of Clayground Paint Your Own Pottery Studio in September 2014 after hearing from a friend that the previous owner was considering selling. I had previously worked in advertising and web development for 20 years and was looking for a change. It’s been so much fun working here. We are now a pet-friendly business that also offers Zentangle® classes and paper crafting classes in addition to ceramics decorating. College students with current proof of enrollment get 20% off one item every day!
Has it been a smooth road?
Business storefront ownership has presented challenges I had never guessed that I would be rising up to meet in my lifetime. Bad online reviews (that were for another business with the same name) ended up on the studio’s social media pages. A customer verbally, and almost physically, assaulted me relentlessly over a small speck on the underside of her pottery (Yes, I called the cops and she’s not allowed back anymore… lol) Recently a customer picking up her pieces told me that my best table that I sat her family at was not good enough for her. Of course, she never told me this when I sat them down at their initial visit. Otherwise I would have let them choose where they wanted. People are incredible.
So, as you know, we’re impressed with Clayground Paint Your Own Pottery Studio – tell our readers more, for example what you’re most proud of as a company and what sets you apart from others.
