Pottery Painting & Craft Studios in Southampton

Southampton doesn't have masses of pottery painting studios, but the two on offer cover different moods. Jenna's Art Studio, a short trip from the centre, runs guided paint sessions where every step gets talked through, so nobody feels silly asking questions. Over at The House of Splatter, closer still to the centre, kids aged 4 to 15 get a canvas, paints and an hour of proper splatter painting, protective gear included, while you stay in the studio watching the chaos unfold. If your child wants structure and a steady hand guiding them, Jenna's is the calmer choice, and it takes birthday parties and group bookings if you're after something more than a one-off visit. If they'd rather fling paint about with a bit of noise, The House of Splatter is built for that, though you'll need to book ahead. Both are indoors, so neither is a wet-weather worry, and both keep you in the room rather than dropping off and leaving.
