How much does it cost?
There is a studio fee of £5 per person who paints (reduced to £3.50 per person for groups of 6 or more). You then pay for the pottery you choose. Our pottery selection ranges from approx £3-£30. The studio fee covers the cost of the paints, materials (including stencils, stamps, sponges, brushes etc), glaze and firing. The fee applies per person per visit and not per item you paint. Of course if you don’t paint, you don’t pay a studio fee!
If you decide to join as a member, there are no studio fees to pay during the duration of your membership.

Can i make my own pottery from clay?
No, unfortunately we do not have the facilities for using wet clay on the premises.
How long does it take?
This is a tricky one to answer – how long is a piece of string?! The time it takes to paint pottery depends on a number of factors including the age of the painter(s) (younger ones often have a limited concentration span!), the number and size of the pottery items chosen etc.
However, as general rule, for painters aged approx 7yrs + we would recommend you allow approx 1-2 hours and whilst we operate under COVID-19 guidelines we are offering pre-booked sessions for up to 2 hours.
Whilst we are operating in guidance with COVID-19 guidelines it takes approx 7-14 days for us to glaze and fire your piece(s). When you have finished painting we will let you know when your pottery will be ready for you to collect.

do i have to book?
Yes!! Whilst operating under COVID-19 guidelines it is essential you book in advance. Even if you or any other accompanying adults or children are not painting they will still need a seat so please include non-painters and painters in your booking.
We offer an online booking system.
