What it’s like
Kids mix resin and pigment to make their own coasters, trays or earrings to take home, no kiln wait involved.
This is eco-resin and terrazzo work rather than the paint-a-plate pottery you might expect. Kids pour resin into moulds, mix in pigments and bits and end up with coasters, a mini tray, a pair of earrings or, if they fancy it, sweets charms jewellery. There's no glaze-and-fire wait either, which is the bit that usually drags with pottery painting.
It's pitched at seven and up, and that age floor is worth knowing before you book a party for a mixed group of cousins. A drop-off birthday workshop runs about 1.5 hours and starts at £25 a child for eco coasters, climbing to £29 if you want the sweets charms jewellery option. Twenty seven quid for coasters with initials is fine for a one-off, but if you've got six kids coming it adds up fast, so worth deciding on the craft before you send invites.
Beyond birthdays there are public workshops too, things like eco-resin earrings or a Halloween ghost dish at £35, and team activities that look built for work do-dos or bigger family groups, from a £30 terrazzo tray up to a £40 terrazzo clock. Everything needs booking through their website in advance, there's no just turning up.
Whichever workshop you land on, you're leaving with something that actually looks like a coaster or a tray rather than a wonky attempt at one, which for a seven-year-old is most of the point.
