Pottery Painting & Craft Studios in Sheffield
Sheffield has pottery painting sewn up close to the centre. Pots to Paint is right in the middle of town from £9 a go, no kiln skills needed. Off The Canvas, just up from there, does splatter canvases and foam clay magnets alongside the usual mugs. And Pottering Around Ceramics has over 180 pieces to choose from with no studio fee, which matters when you've a toddler who fancies a handprint plate one week and a dinosaur the next. For younger kids, stick with the paint-your-own places like Fired Arts, which has a wall of over 40 animals and figures, or Planet Pot, where there's cake and parking sorted while they get on with it. Older ones and teenagers are better off at Kin Pottery Works or Studio Mia Ceramics, both hands-on with the wheel rather than just painting. There's also Studio 62, over in Rotherham, if you fancy pairing pottery with a tote bag or a clay name plaque. Most places want you to book ahead.
