Parties

Looking for a creative and memorable way to celebrate a special occasion?

We offer pottery parties for both adults and children, perfect for birthdays, team-building events, hen parties, or simply a fun get-together with friends and family

  • Sculpting Party

    In this hands-on session, you’ll learn basic pottery techniques to create your own unique clay masterpiece. Whether it’s adorable animal sculptures, personalized bowls, or themed creations, this option lets everyone explore their creativity while playing with clay.

    Depending on the project, your piece will then be glazed in our house white glaze or a selection of colourful accent glazes.

  • Paint Parties

    If you enjoy decorating, this option lets you focus on adding your artistic touch to pre-made ceramic pieces. Before the party, we’ll agree on a type of bisqueware for your group to paint, such as mugs, plates, or ornaments. Everyone will paint the same item, but there’s plenty of room for personal creativity with colors and designs! We’ll handle the kiln firing after the party to turn your creations into finished keepsakes.

    No prior experience is needed—pottery parties are beginner-friendly and designed for all ages to enjoy. I provide all the materials and guidance, ensuring a fun, creative experience for everyone.
