Studio specializes in ceramic, glass items

By Mary Irby-Jones

Staff Writer

Sunday, October 12, 2008

Pam Strawsburg and Amy Coughlin announce the grand opening of C.C. Studio at 4352 E. Patterson Road.

The studio specializes in customized ceramic and glass accessories. Using bisque, glass and a state-of-the-art kiln, Strawsburg and Coughlin design and create a variety of accessories for the home or office. Wall tiles, lamps, platters, bowls, drawer pulls, switch plates and even bathroom sinks are among the items that C.C. Studio can produce, the partners said in a prepared release.

The business came about after the families purchased a barn on East Patterson in Beavercreek. Situated behind the barn was a rundown chicken coop. Strawsburg and Coughlin — artists by trade — had wanted to open a studio catering to clients and interior designers so, they spent months fixing up the coop, the release said.

By appointment only. For more information, call (937) 475-9616.

Holiday events

There's never a shortage of holiday events in the area to occupy your time until the New Year rings itself in. This year, all the usual suspects are present — Woodland Lights, RiverScape ice skating, Lebanon's Carriage Parade — with a couple of brand new additions to the mix, including 50 Under $50, a collaborative collection of area artists, getting together for a Friday/Saturday shopping and entertainment experience at 20 N. Jefferson St. downtown this weekend, the same place the recent Dayton LadyFest made its mark; Sandstorm Middle-Eastern Dance Company's Ho Ho Hafla — a holiday show like no other; and a pub crawl for a good cause.

Wine & Dine: More local restaurants are offering wine tasting/dinner pairings [review]

Wine glasses

Some are searching for new customers. Others are looking for a test market for new appetizers or entrees. Others want customer feedback on which new wines to add to the wine list. Whatever their reasons, more restaurants in the Dayton area are using wine tastings and wine dinners to try to get new, fresh faces to cross their doorsteps. A decade ago, diners could easily count on one hand the number of restaurants that held regular wine events. Now, the number exceeds a dozen and is growing. More »
