How Pottery Painting Works
It's really simple.
1. Book your table
Choose a pottery-painting session and reserve your seats.
2. Choose your pottery
When you arrive, browse the shelves and choose what you'd like to paint.
3. Start painting
We provide the paints and equipment you need. You can create your own design or use ideas for inspiration.
4. Leave the rest to us
Once you've finished, we glaze your pottery and fire it in our kiln at over 1,000°C.
5. Collect your finished pottery
Your colours become brighter and your piece develops its glossy fired finish, ready for you to collect.
Visiting from further away? We can post most finished pieces within the UK for under £10 per piece. Ask us during your visit to confirm the cost for your chosen pottery. Read about UK postage.
How Much Does Pottery Painting Cost?
There is a £5 studio fee per painter, which covers your paints, 90-minute studio session, professional glazing and kiln firing.
You then choose and pay for whichever piece of pottery you'd like to paint.
That means you can choose something that suits your taste and budget rather than paying for a fixed package.
