How does Painting Pots work?

Receive a warm welcome from our team and choose the perfect piece to get creative with – whether it’s pottery painting, Foam Clay, glass fusion, or even squishie making.
We’ll seat you, explain the process, offer tips and techniques, and introduce the tools and glazes available.
Your creativity deserves time! Our studio is a friendly, relaxed place where you’re encouraged to take things at your own pace. Your booking is for 2 hours, but if you need longer, just ask and we’ll do our best to accommodate.
We’re constantly adding new tools and glazes, learning new techniques, and sharing them with our brilliant customers.
We’re proudly child-friendly: all paints are water-based and non-toxic. We have high chairs, toys, books, colouring books, pencils and felt tips. There’s a baby changing mat and a ‘Little Essentials Box’ with nappies, wipes and sanitary products for customer use.
Our studio has three floors with plenty of space for painters and crafters. Please note, there are two steps into the building and a beautiful spiral staircase inside.
Leave your masterpiece with us to glaze, fire and finish – ready to collect about two weeks later. Need it sooner? Ask about our fast-fire option (small additional fee applies).
Visiting from outside town? We can post your finished piece via second-class signed-for delivery – just let us know!
