Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to paint pottery?
We don't have a price list as bisque (blank pottery) designs change regularly. You just pay for what you choose to paint on the day, items start from £10.00 & we don't charge a studio fee.
How does pottery painting work?
First you choose your blank bisque from our selection of pottery then you paint with special paints to create your own designs. Once you have finished painting, we glaze and fire in our kiln to over 1000 degrees to make sure all food items are safe and to make it glossy. Painted pottery is ready to collect in approx 7-10 days, you will receive a text once it's ready to collect.
How do I book a pottery painting session?
Sessions can be booked on our website, we charge £2 deposit per person to hold your table this lets us know what size table you require. The £2 deposit/s will be deducted from your pottery at the end of your session. Sessions last up to 2hrs, last painting is 1hr before close.
