FAQ

How long do I wait to collect my pottery & what times can I collect?
It can take up to 6 weeks for your creation to be fired twice by our team and clear glazed. Please collect from 6 weeks after your session. There is no need to message or email, it will definitely be ready to collect after 6 weeks. Please have a photo of your piece ready to show us on arrival for a speedy collection. Please also bring wrapping or something to protect your pot with you. You have 3 months to collect your pottery piece from your initial session, please collect within the time to avoid dissapointment. The best time to collect is during our cafe opening hours: 8am—3.30pm Wednesday—Friday 10am—3.30pm Saturday—Sunday
Do you offer postage?
We can post your pottery pieces to you for a fee if you are unable to collect.
Do you have parking?
We do not have parking in front of the cafe, as we are in the busy area of Stokes Croft. There is paid off street parking but please factor in finding parking into your timings before the session starts. We would recommend travelling by bus, walking or getting the train to Montpelier Station (which is a 5 minute walk away).
