Pottery Painting
Pottery painting is a fun and creative activity for any occasion - and you’ll have a beautiful keepsake from your session to take home!
Pottery painting is a great choice for celebrating a special occasion, or simply catching up with friends over a fun craft activity in a relaxing environment. Bring your creativity and we’ll provide the rest!
Our range of pre-made ceramics include plates, bowls, and mugs etc, But we also have some more unique items if you fancy something different.
There’s lots of inspiration around the studio to help get your creative juices flowing, and a range of tools for different painting techniques. You will have an instruction sheet and books available that you can flick through. Get stuck and you can speak to our friendly staff for ideas.

Choose your item from our wide range of pre-fired bisque shapes.
Let your creativity run wild with our HUGE selection of underglaze paints, jazzy speciality glazes and transparent glaze topcoats.
If you get stuck, our staff will be on hand to answer any questions.
When you’re finished, leave your item with us to be fired. This normally takes 2 weeks, but we’ll let you know when it’s ready by email.
Treasure your item forever, and display it majestically in your home!
Special Occasions
We take private bookings of 6+
We can seat up to 8 in our downstairs space and 6 in our ground level space.
We are happy for you to B.Y.O.B to your session and trust you to be respectful of our space and staff if you do.
We don't allow you to eat as you paint, as it can damage your piece of pottery. The oils from food transfer to your hands, and then onto your pottery. These oils will create areas on your pottery where the glaze wont stick - and we want your pottery to turn out perfectly.
We are happy for you to bring a cake and candles if you are having a celebration - but advise you do this at the very end once you have all finished painting!

Choose a pre-fired bisque shape from our lovely selection to paint.
For pottery painting we have a range of different shapes to select from, including things like mugs, plates and much more!
You will then have access to a HUGE selection (over 100) of underglaze paints, jazzy speciality glazes. We will leave you to paint your masterful design.
The last step is to add a transparent glaze topcoat to seal it all in.
Then you simply leave it with us to fire for you. We will get in touch by email to let you know when it is ready for collection.
It takes us two weeks to fire your work. We need to allow it to dry on the shelves for at least one week first before we can even consider firing it. Then we allow a week for us to get it through the kiln for you as we offer lots of different classes and have lots of different things to fire!
Please be patient with our technicians they work as fast as they can.
NOTE: an exception to this would be if you have made the walls of your work too thick. When your work is too thick it takes much longer to dry out than a week. We cannot put your work into the kiln when it is still wet as it will likely explode and ruin all the other pottery in close proximity to it. For this reason if your work has been made too thick, we will put it to the side and fire it when it seems dry enough.
