What it’s like
Paint a mug, plate or figurine on bisque pottery, then come back a few weeks later once it's glazed and fired.
You pick a piece of bisque pottery, choose your paints and get stuck in. It's £5 for something miniature, around £12 to £15 for the usual mugs, plates, bowls and figurines, and up to £50 or more if you fancy something bigger. There's no extra studio fee or firing charge on top of that, which is refreshingly straightforward. Sessions run about an hour of actual painting, but you book a 1.5 hour slot so there's no need to rush a fiddly bit of detail.
The catch, and it's worth knowing before you go, is that you don't walk out with your painted piece. It has to be glazed and fired, which takes two to three weeks, so you're back for a second trip to collect it. Collection slots are set at specific times through the week (mornings and early afternoons on weekdays, a few windows on Saturday and Sunday).
Thursday evenings bring a movie and paint session, usually once a month and more often around half term, Christmas, Halloween and Easter. That's £2.50 extra during the day or £5 in the evening on top of your pottery price, worth it if you want to make a session feel like more of an occasion. You can bring your own snacks and drinks too, just keep them clear of the wet paint.
Parties for groups of ten or more can take over the upstairs studio for £75 room hire, with a movie added on for another £25. Worth flagging that the upstairs room has stairs and no lift.

Plan your visit
How much does a session cost?
Miniature pieces start at £5, standard mugs, plates and bowls are around £12 to £15, and bigger pieces can run up to £50 or £70. There's no studio fee or firing charge added.
Do we need to book?
Yes, booking is online and sessions run for 1.5 hours, though painting itself usually takes about an hour.
When do we get our pottery back?
It needs glazing and firing after you paint it, which takes two to three weeks. Collection times are set slots, mornings and early afternoons on weekdays, with a few slots on Saturday and Sunday.
Is there anything for a movie session?
Movie and paint sessions run on Thursday evenings, roughly once a month and more often around half term and the big holidays. It's £2.50 extra in the day or £5 in the evening on top of your pottery.
Can we bring our own food?
Snacks and drinks are fine to bring in, just keep them away from the artwork.
Is it suitable for a pushchair?
The ground floor is fine for pushchairs. The upstairs party room has stairs with no lift, so it doesn't work for buggies or wheelchairs.
Can you host a birthday party there?
Groups of ten or more can book the private upstairs studio for £75 room hire plus the cost of the pottery, with a movie add-on for £25.
Do you need any experience to paint?
The studio says it welcomes creative souls of all ages and runs sessions for kids, teens and adults.
Are gift vouchers available?
Yes, and they last 12 months from purchase with an expiry date printed on them.
What are the opening hours?
Wednesday and Friday 10am to 4pm, Thursday 10am to 8pm, Saturday 9am to 5pm, Sunday 11am to 3pm. Closed Monday and Tuesday.
