If you would rather decorate than build, this is the session for you. Choose a ready-made bisque piece — a mug, dish, vase or figurine — and turn it into something of your own with ceramic paints. We fire it afterwards so it is usable, not just decorative.
The quickest way into ceramics
Pottery painting takes about an hour and needs no previous experience at all. It is the session people choose when they want something relaxing and low-pressure, or when they are bringing a group with mixed confidence levels.
Colour behaves differently in a kiln
One thing that surprises people: ceramic paints change in the firing. What looks chalky and pale going in can come out deep and glossy. We will show you how each colour will behave so you can plan your design rather than be surprised by it.

Questions
Do I need to be good at painting?
No. We will show you techniques like sponging, masking and layering that produce good results without any drawing skill.
When can I collect my piece?
Pieces need firing after painting, so you collect yours later. We will tell you when it is ready.
Can I eat and drink from it?
Yes. We use food-safe glazes and fire the piece properly so it can be used every day.
Is this good for a group or birthday?
Very. It is short, easy and everyone leaves with something, which makes it our most popular choice for celebrations.
