Sketch your design, choose your paint colours, maybe even head to our coffee bar for some refreshments to fuel your painting!


Paint and Chill

Paint and Chill

Catch up with your pals across your palette, or maybe even pop in your headphones to unwind while you paint your two beautiful homewares - you've got two whole hours!


Take Them Home!

Take Them Home

Yep that's right -- no firing needed! Take your two painted eco-resin creations home at the end of your session and use them right away (Or, if they need time to dry - leave them with us and collect later!)


Ready to unwind? Visit our painting space for this pot painting class in Manchester, where you can come and decorate your own chosen pieces of eco-resin homeware! Choose two items from plant pots, trinket trays, trinket pots, and seasonal decorations.
This is a little different than pottery painting, as your homewares are made from eco-resin and don't need to be fired after you've painted them; once the paint is dry, you can use them at home right away! (Please note, finished creations need to be treated with care as they're hand-painted).
You can purchase hot drinks, soft drinks and freshly baked goods from our coffee bar to enjoy while you paint, any external food and drinks aren't permitted to bring into the space - thank you!
This class, along with all of our classes, is 16+ years only. Children, toddlers and babes in arms are not able to be present for this adults only class.
We are a queer and female owned safe space, meaning we welcome people of all races, religions, sexualities, genders with no discrimination; you're truly free to be yourself here. We are a dog friendly venue -- should you wish to bring your dog you're more than welcome as long as you let us know ahead of time and your dog is well behaved and kept on the lead under your table.

  • 5/5 from Erin Jackson, attended Oct 2026: Excellent session so many choices to choose from and all the options are really good quality definitely get your monies worth! The staff are lovely and so helpful we had a great time!
  • 5/5 from Nimrah, attended Oct 2026: Absolutely wonderful session, the atmosphere was so calming and peaceful, exactly what I needed to switch off. Good music, natural lighting, and the best blueberry matcha! I’ll definitely be returning for classes.
  • 5/5 from Kaylah Skerritt, attended Oct 2026: We had such a lovely time at the pottery painting class! I went with a friend and we both thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The atmosphere was amazing, so relaxed and welcoming, and the staff were absolutely lovely and made us feel comfortable from the moment we arrived. It was such a fun activity to do together, and a great way to spend an afternoon doing something a little different. The selection of pottery was great, and we loved being able to get creative and make something of our own. It was also fantastic value for money, especially considering the experience as a whole. We genuinely couldn’t fault it and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a fun activity with friends or even a cute date idea. We’ll definitely be back!
  • 5/5 from Aleesha Sultan, attended Oct 2026: amazing!!
  • 5/5 from Katharina Vinzenz, attended Oct 2026: Went there with a friend and had a beautiful afternoon. So calming to paint while having a yummy tea. Would go there again in a heartbeat!
  • 5/5 from Louise Chadwick, attended Oct 2026: Lovely afternoon spent with a friend. Lovely friendly atmosphere, helpful staff and lots of choices. Would book again!
  • 5/5 from Georgia, attended Oct 2026: The event was peaceful, fun, and was a very meditative experience. Everything was explained very clearly and simply, and they are completely fine if you run a little over. A stand to paint the underside of items might have helped, but ultimately it was very enjoyable.
  • 5/5 from Shania Morris, attended Oct 2026: The class was just perfect! The staff were very kind and helpful; we felt extremely relaxed as soon as we arrived. The space and atmosphere were very calm. It was a great opportunity to catch up with a friend whilst doing something we both love. Such great value for money, I will definitely be back!
  • 5/5 from John Williams, attended Oct 2026: Really enjoyable couple of hours spent, staff were supportive and explained everything really clearly, very happy with everything! Special shout out to the Bonfire Macha! 10/10
  • 5/5 from Adams, attended Oct 2026: Really cool studio with lots of choice of pottery to paint. Great selection of food and drink and helpful staff. It would be great to have something to prop the pottery on so we could paint the bottom of our items with ease.
  • 5/5 from Katy Seecharan, attended Oct 2026: Lovely spot to spend a couple of hours. The staff were super friendly and helpful. The choice of items to paint and extra bits you buy are lovely and the whole place has a great vibe.
  • 4/5 from Leon Pinnock, attended Oct 2026: Stands to hold/prop up ornaments while they're still wet so you can keep painting.
  • 4/5 from Olivia McNamara, attended Oct 2026: Such a lovely business and a really great, creative space! We had a lovely time and really enjoyed the experience. Our only suggestions would be to offer a wider variety of paintbrush sizes, particularly some smaller brushes for finer details, and perhaps look at the quality of the paints. We found the paint quite watery/thin, which meant it needed several coats and took quite a while to dry within the timeframe. Other than that, it was a really enjoyable experience and a lovely place to get creative!
  • 5/5 from Chloe Goulding, attended Sep 2026: Fantastic class and teacher’s were lovely! Highly recommend

  • 5/5 from Alex Scott, attended Jul 2026: we did the paint & chill experience and it was so much fun. the girls were so friendly and helpful and made the whole experience so enjoyable. they have such a cute little shop too, i couldn’t say no to picking up a few pieces. the only thing we had a little trouble with is the paint doesn’t have great coverage if you’re hoping to do block colours, but they can work perfectly if you’re just doing small bits of paint. i’d still definitely recommend the experience to family & friends
  • 5/5 from Ines Sousa Pereira, attended Jul 2026: Very nice activity for people who love creativity! You can choose 2 things to paint and the teacher is very lovely

I'm Chelsie, a macrame maestro and all-round craft queen based in Manchester!
I found macrame during the pandemic when I needed something to calm my mind. I found so much mindfulness within the craft, and have since opened a creative studio where people come together to learn macrame and other crafts as a form of self care.
I'm passionate about sharing different ways to be creative; I don't believe that you have to be great (or even good!) at a craft to find joy and peace in it. The first step to being good at something is being bad at it!
