Pottery Painting makes a great activity for all the family!

Crafty Monkey Pottery Studio, is a great place for a family day out and pottery painting or our pottery classes with clay are great activities suitable and enjoyable for all ages and abilities from baby to grandma!

In today’s busy world, finding quality time to spend as a family can be challenging. Crafty Monkey offers a perfect opportunity to unplug from technology and engage in meaningful, creative activities together.

Every member of the family can discover their artistic side and create lasting memories in a relaxing, calm environment while enjoying the therapeutic benefits pottery painting and getting your hand on clay provide. If the grown up's don't want to do the activity that's fine too.

What's more, our activities are not only fun for all ages but also educational. Kids and adults alike can learn about the pottery-painting or pottery-making process, develop fine motor skills, and explore their artistic talents.

We also put on kids workshops in some school holidays where the kids can be dropped off while you enjoy some 'me' time.

Kids love Crafty Monkey Pottery Studio for a variety of reasons:

1. Creative Freedom

Crafty Monkey offers kids the opportunity to express themselves creatively. They can choose from a wide range of bears to make or pottery pieces they can paint any style they like, allowing their imaginations to run wild. This creative freedom is both fun and fulfilling for children.

2. Hands-On Activities

Kids enjoy the hands-on nature of activities at Crafty Monkey. Whether it's painting pottery, molding clay, building bears or making handprints.

3. Personalised Keepsakes

Children love creating personalized items that they can take home once fired or give as gifts. The sense of pride and accomplishment they feel when they see their finished piece all shiny like a shop bought product is incredibly rewarding.
