Painting Studio

Here you can paint or decorate an item of our own hand-made earthenware or a piece of beautiful Emma Bridgewater pottery - exclusively available from us. The pottery is a lovely cream colour; it is carefully hand-dipped in glaze and fired for you to collect a few days later.

One of our friendly Studio Assistants will show you how to decorate pottery freehand or using our own hand-cut 'decorating sponges' - everything from hearts and stars, to farm animals, dinosaurs, butterflies and flowers. You can stay as long as you like and pop to the Café for refreshments as often as you like! Pottery shapes to decorate start from £6.95 - and there is a studio fee per person (not per item) of £5.50 which covers a brief demonstration; all materials including paints and our whole range of sponges, as well as glazing and firing.

Pottery is ready a few days later to collect - or it can be posted home to you. Decorating a special piece of pottery is a real occasion, whether you're celebrating, holidaying or just relaxing.
