Pottery Sessions
Plan Your Visit and Get Creative with Us
Pottery Painting
Choose from our range of teacups, plates, vases, ornaments and more, then settle in with a drink and paint at your own pace. No experience is needed — just pick your colours, enjoy the process and we’ll glaze and fire your piece and let you know when its ready to collect. It’s therapeutic, fun and perfect for all ages.
Clay Modelling
With a block of clay, a few simple tools and friendly guidance, you’ll learn how to sculpt, pinch, roll and form your own unique piece — whether it’s a bowl, figure, trinket dish or something entirely your own. It’s fun, mindful and perfect for beginners or anyone who loves to get a little messy while making something meaningful.
