CATEGORY · RAINY DAY APPROVED
Pottery Painting & Craft Studios in York
Two studios in York cover most of what you need for a rainy afternoon with a paintbrush. Rainbows Ceramics Painting Studio is right in the centre, no booking needed, just turn up and pick a plate, mug or ceramic animal to paint from £5. A short walk away, Bish Bash Pot adds a wheel to the mix, so alongside painting pottery you can throw a bowl or make a batch of slime. For toddlers and younger children, Rainbows is the simpler choice: pick a piece, sit down, paint it, and there's a baby change if you need one. Older children who fancy something messier or a bit more hands-on should head to Bish Bash Pot for the pottery wheel. Both take birthday party bookings and group bookings, so either works for a party, and Rainbows is easy to reach on public transport if you're coming without a car.
