Pottery Painting Near Marlow | Lemon Tree Pottery Café
Make your next Marlow catch-up a little more creative. The Lemon Tree Pottery Painting Café is in nearby Bourne End: choose a piece of pottery, sit down with your favourite people and paint something of your own.
Make a little more of your visit: our half-day guide to Bourne End combines pottery painting, a browse in the gift shop and an optional Thames walk, with travel and parking information.
£5 studio fee per painter, plus the pottery you choose. Daytime sessions last 90 minutes; Thursday Paint & Sip runs from 7–9pm.
A date, a family afternoon or time with friends
You don’t have to paint the same thing or follow a class design. Pick a mug, bowl, plate or another piece from the shelves and keep the decoration as simple or detailed as you like. We’ll help you get started, and drinks and sweet treats are available to purchase.
Come as a couple and paint something for each other, bring the children to make gifts, or catch up with a friend while working on a piece for your home.
