What We’re All About
Pottery Painting is more than just a fun activity — it’s an experience in itself. And the best part? You get to take home a one-of-a-kind piece to remember it by.
You can create a stand-alone mug, plate, or bowl — or keep coming back to build your own full set over time. Whether it’s a gift for someone special or something just for you, every piece tells a story.
It’s also a great way to take a break from screens and switch off for a while. No phones, no scrolling — just conversation, and creativity.
What you’ll find at The Pottery Cove
- Lots of different pottery pieces to choose from
- Activity suitable for all ages
- Drinks and sweet treats
- Quality time with friends and family
- Relaxing and fun environment
- Make-your-own gifts for birthdays, holidays, or “just because”
- A perfect rainy day activity or spontaneous creative escape
How it works
You’ll choose from a wide range of pottery pieces, including kitchen favourites like plates, bowls and mugs, as well as figurines and decorative keepsakes. Then, pick your colours from our rainbow of underglazes at the Paint Bar and let your creativity take over.
We’ll guide you through how to use the paints, and we’ve got stamps and stencils to help bring your ideas to life. You don’t need to be an artist to create something amazing — just come as you are and enjoy the process.
We’ve made the whole experience of pottery painting easy and relaxed. So whether you’re a beginner, experienced or just need a refresher, here’s a quick summary of how it works:
1. Choose Your Pottery
Check out our range of blank pottery — you can choose from classic mugs and plates to larger pieces and some smaller fun figurines. Each piece is priced individually, so you know what you’re paying before you start.
2. Hints and Tips
Once you have your piece at your table, one of our team will come over and talk you through how to get the best finish for your pottery. We’ll be able to guide you with pottery painting techniques and how to use any additional stamps/stencils.
3. Paint your Piece
Pick your colours, grab your brush, and let your imagination lead the way.
4. Enjoy the experience of pottery painting
This is your time to switch off, slow down, and savour the moment. Whether you’re painting with friends, family, or flying solo, The Pottery Cove is all about making memories together. Soak up the creative atmosphere, share a laugh, and let your imagination run wild — it’s not just about the pottery, it’s about the joy of being present.
5. We take over
You leave your masterpieces with us and we’ll do the rest.
What happens after I’ve finished?
You leave your painted pottery with us, and we’ll take care of everything to get it ready for you to take home.
- We will let the underglaze you have painted on dry thoroughly.
- We will apply a transparent glaze to your piece (this is what makes it all shiny) and let it dry.
- We will fire the kiln up and carry out the final phase of the process which is firing your pottery. This process brings your creation to life and the true colours come out.
- Your pottery creations will be available for collection 7-10 days after you visit the studio. (This may vary during busy periods. However, if you need your piece by a certain date, please let us know and we will try to accommodate) We will send you a text/email when it is ready to collect.
How Pricing Works
Our pottery pieces are all priced individually, so you can choose exactly what fits your style and budget.
We charge a £5 studio fee per painter to cover your paints, tools, and the kiln firing. This covers each painter for 2 pieces of pottery within your booked time.
A £20 table deposit is taken when you book, and it comes straight off your final total when you visit us to paint.
Session Times
Each booking is for up to 2 hours long with starting times every 15 minutes during opening times, (last session 2 hours before closing time on the day.)
If there’s space available after your session, you’re very welcome to stay a little longer and keep creating!
Accessibility
Everyone’s welcome here. We’re committed to making your visit as comfortable and enjoyable as possible.
Our Pottery Painting Studio Offers:
- An accessible toilet with baby changing facilities
- A portable ramp for easy access over the front step
- A friendly team always happy to help
If you have any questions or special requests before your visit, ask us and we’ll do our best to make everything perfect for you on the day of your booking.
