Create

Choose from over 250 items of attractive and functional bisqueware, including plates, mugs, bowls, jugs, moneyboxes, clocks, vases and so much more. Sketch or trace your design then paint your piece, choosing from a range of over 30 contemporary colours. We provide all the tools you need to get creative, brushes, sponges, dotting tools and more! Our friendly and experienced staff will explain the whole process with you, as well as happily be on hand for any questions or tips and tricks.

The studio fee is £5.00 per painter plus the cost of the item(s) you wish to paint, the cost of which varies depending on size. Leave your finished item with us to glaze and fire, ready for collection within a week*. We glaze and fire all items in our on premises kiln, so be assured that your pottery is always shown the greatest amount of care from beginning to end.

*Collection dates vary during school holidays and around Christmas due to the high volume of items that require glazing and firing. During these times please allow for around 1 week – 10 days. Please talk to staff beforehand if you require items by a certain date and we will always try our best to accommodate. Postage also available at a cost.

Baby Hand and Footprints

Baby prints are a wonderful way to record the birth of your baby and have a long-lasting physical keepsake of just how small they are. Prints can be done on all different items, from coasters and plates to mugs and jugs, and they make a perfect gift for Grandparents, Uncles, Aunties and God-parents. Our friendly and helpful team is very experienced with techniques to help get that perfect print, as well as plenty of design ideas for how to complete your magical memento!
