We have a selection of pottery available to paint, from mugs to planters, plates to trinket boxes with prices starting from as little as £10.
Sessions run for 2 hour, and a table will be allocated to fit your group size. Upon arrival, we will show you the variety of pottery available for you to paint which are priced per item, payable at the time of choosing.
FAQ:
Do I have to book or can I just turn up?
We only have limited space in our Pottery Painting Studio, therefore we do recommend booking beforehand to avoid disappointment if we cannot fit you in. You are welcome to contact us to check if we have availability before making the journey.
Can you help with personalisation? Eg. writing names.
Yes, of course, we can. We can write names or help with any drawings you may require.
Can you do baby or toddler hand-prints onto pottery?
Yes, we can help with this! We will dip your child’s hand into glaze, and we can then imprint this onto plates, mugs, etc. They make the cutest gifts or a memory frozen in time for you to keep forever!
Can I book outside of your opening hours?
Yes, absolutely, these are our trial opening hours for now to see how the demand is and what hours are most popular, but please do contact us directly if you would like to request a specific time/date, and we can accommodate this.
