A relaxed, creative space where anyone can enjoy the simple joy of painting pottery.
Whether you’re spending time with the kids, catching up with friends over coffee, planning a special celebration or just simply feeling like you want to immerse yourself in some creativity on your own, we’ve created a space that’s warm, welcoming, and fun for everyone.
It’s a chance to slow down, get hands-on, and make something personal—no experience needed.
Just come as you are, and we’ll take care of the rest.


How it works
Book Your Spot
Pop online to book your 2 hour timeslot —booking ahead means we’ll have your space ready and waiting. There’s a £6 studio fee per painter, which covers your seat, all the tools, glazing, firing, and of course, a warm welcome.
Choose Your Piece
Take your time browsing our shelves—there’s loads to choose from! Whether it’s a mug, plate, animal, or something fun and quirky, pick a piece that speaks to you.
Pick Your Colours & Paint
Now the fun begins! We’ve got a gorgeous range of vibrant paints, glazes, and crystal finishes, this is your time to get creative.
Leave It With Us
Once you’re happy with your piece, leave it in our hands. We’ll glaze it, fire it in our kiln, and make it shiny and beautiful. This part takes around 10–14 days
Collect & Celebrate
We’ll let you know as soon as your piece is ready to collect. Then it’s all yours—to keep, gift, or just simply admire every time you look at it.
