Mission
The Giggling Pig opened in Guilford on May 1st 2023 by Nikki Towle. Nikki is a mom of 3 from Madison, CT and loves being able to raise her children surrounded by art. It is her passion to be able to enrich the lives of children through art and she loves meeting new faces and creating new relationships with families in the area. Her mission is to create a family friendly studio that allows children and adults to explore art and feel at home.
