Went to the pottery experience this morning for our first throwing session and it exceeded all expectations.
Hazel was an excellent teacher and had so much knowledge and patience. Was amazed with how our pottery turned out, can’t wait to go back and paint! Would definitely recommend giving it a go. 🍶 🎨 🥣
What a fabulous way to spend an afternoon!
My partner and I visited The Pottery Experience today to have a go at painting. What a lovely way to spend an afternoon! The venue is bright and welcoming, the staff are super friendly and knowledgeable and everything has been incredibly well thought out. The prices are very reasonable and I really liked how there was something to suit all budgets. We can’t wait to go and collect our mugs once they have been in the kiln and will definitely be back.
I couldn't recommend this business enough!!
Extremely friendly, helpful and knowledgeable staff and a fantastic fun thing to do. Brilliant idea and venue for a party.
For pottery painting booking the short answer is yes. You are totally welcome to pop in, however to guarantee we have space for you booking is heavily recommended as we’re quite often fully booked, even on weekdays. Do give us a quick call before you pop along to check our availability.
When you are booking please let us know the total number of people who are attending, this includes anyone who is not planning on painting.
Painting pottery is the price of the pottery you choose to paint, plus any drinks or treats you purchase. Pottery is priced £10 – £40 depending on the size of the piece you choose.
Making pottery starts at £38pp, this includes making two pots each and returning to paint them one to two months later. This price includes all materials, tutoring, glazing and firings.
We offer discounts for those visiting on our discount days.
If you’re coming with a group take a look at the different packages we offer for making and painting.
It takes us 3-5 weeks to glaze and fire your pottery, ready for you to collect. If you need a piece urgently, let us know and we’ll do our very best to be super speedy! We need at least 3-5 days to get a piece ready. (Not possible during busy periods like Christmas). Glazing and firing takes at least 48 hrs as our kilns heat up to 1000°C to make your piece bright, shiny and useable, once they reach this top temperature we slowly cool back down to 100°C ready for us to unload.
If you are just visiting us we offer a post and packing service which is priced £6-15 or £2pp+ for large groups.
People of all ages are welcome! We have something to offer all ages and abilities, so whether you’re visiting with babies, children, teens, grown ups, on your own or with a dog – give us a call and see what we can offer for you.
