KIDS POTTERY: Pottery Painting Drop-In

Service Description

Come along for a kids afternoon of pottery painting! Choose from an ever-changing selection of pre-made ceramic pieces, and decorate yours however you like. Keep it simple, get experimental, paint your cat on a mug, or some words on a plate - anything goes! No pottery or painting experience needed. HOW IT WORKS Our drop-in runs from 2-5pm, and you can stay for as little or as long as you like. Pop in for an hour or settle in for the whole afternoon. When you arrive, we’ll give you a quick introduction to underglazing and a few tips for getting the best out of the colours and making your designs pop. Each ceramic piece is individually priced from £5–£40, so you and your kids can paint as many or as few as you fancy. There’s also a £3 per person, per hour 'chair fee', which covers use of the space, paints and materials. If you're here as an adult to help your child with their painting, but won't be painting anything of your own, no need to pay the chair fee. But please note you might be asked to give up your chair to someone painting if we get really busy! You can book ahead online to guarantee yourself a spot, or just turn up and see if there’s space. We can fit a maximum of 24 people at a time. Once you’re finished, leave your pieces with us and we’ll glaze and fire them, ready for you to collect once they’ve been through the kiln (about 2 weeks later). If you're booked onto the next Sunday kids session, feel free to grab your pots when you come to that one! WHAT CAN I PAINT? Our selection depends on what we have in stock, but you might find: Bowls • Mugs • Dishes & soap dishes • Vases • Pen pots • Spoon rests • Plates • Figurines • Hanging decorations • Mushrooms • Animals • Pendants • Trinkets • Letters & numbers • Photo frames WHAT TO WEAR You’ll be painting with underglaze, a type of ceramic paint that washes out of clothes easily, so there’s no need to dress for mess. PLEASE NOTE Any kids under 10 must be accompanied by an adult.
