Pottery Painting: how it works
-
Our pottery selection is always changing, with lots of fun and unique pieces to choose from!
Seen something you really want to paint? Just send us a message and we can reserve it for you, or chat about ordering it in especially for you!
-
We have 44 colours to choose from.
With so many options, using stencils, painting by hand, different shaped sponges, trying out different techniques (ombre, layering…)
-
We will place each item you painted during your visit in a safe place to fully dry for at least 24 hours. We will then dip each item of pottery in clear glaze to ensure the whole piece is covered before it goes into the kiln!
-
Everything gets loaded into the kiln. We then set the kiln to fire, this will run for around 14 hours, gradually heating up to around 1000 degrees and then slowly cooling down!
Once the kiln is done and cooled down we take everything out and prep each item ready to be collected.
-
All items will be ready for collection two weeks on from your visit.
*collection times may vary during busier periods
We have a kiln fee of £5.60 per person painting.
