What it’s like
Paint a plate, cast a tiny handprint, or take on a hen do, at two studios near Norwich.
Two studios, one just outside Norwich at White House Farm, the other at Wroxham Barns, and both do the same core thing well: you pick a piece, sit down and paint it. There's also hand and foot printing if you want something more permanent than a wonky mug, and a life casting service for anyone after a proper keepsake rather than a craft activity.
Wroxham Barns is the one to pick for a children's party, since it has its own exclusive party room set aside for that. White House Farm covers group bookings and school visits, so it's the more obvious choice if you're organising for a class or a larger group rather than a single family table.
Neither studio opens every day of the week. White House Farm is closed on Wednesdays; Wroxham Barns is closed on Mondays instead. Sundays run shorter hours at both, finishing at 4.30 at White House Farm and 4 at Wroxham Barns.
It's also listed as sensory friendly, which is a nice detail if you've got a child who finds busy, noisy places hard going. Hen parties are welcome at both studios if you fancy painting pottery with a glass of something instead of a toddler in tow.
