Where: Ciccio’s Olives: 12B S. 5th Avenue West Reading, PA 19611

Overview

Join us for a creative evening at Ciccio’s Olives, where art meets the Italian table. In this workshop, you’ll hand-paint two glass olive oil cruets  — one to gift and one to keep (or keep both, we won’t tell!).

You’ll start with blank bottles and choose from two vibrant Mediterranean-inspired designs:

• 🍋 Lemon blossoms — bright, citrusy, and full of sunshine.

• 🌿 Olive branches — classic, elegant, and deeply rooted in the traditions of Calabria.

  Or mix and match — one of each for a perfectly paired set!

Local artist Bernadette from Creative Spirit Painting will guide you through design techniques, color layering, and brushwork to create your own unique, functional art pieces. Once painted, your cruets will be ready to fill with your favorite olive oil or display beautifully on your kitchen counter.

Why It’s Special

At Ciccio’s Olives, we believe everyday objects can be works of art. This class blends creativity and craftsmanship — celebrating the beauty of olive oil culture and the joy of handmade gifts. Whether you’re crafting a holiday present, a housewarming gift, or something just for yourself, your painted duo will carry your personal touch and the warmth of southern Italy.

Who It’s For
