Fired 4 U

• Mugs, plates and bowls

• Animal figurines

• Money boxes

• Seasonal decorations

• Keepsake items for babies and children

• Home décor pieces

You simply pick your item, choose your colours and designs, and we’ll guide you through techniques such as sponging, stamping, stencilling and layering. Once you’ve finished painting, we professionally glaze and kiln fire your piece so it becomes food-safe, glossy and ready to use at home.

Your masterpiece will be ready to collect approximately 7 days later.

Clay Hand Building

For those who love getting hands-on, we offer clay workshops where you can shape your own creation from scratch by attending one of our workshops

You’ll shape and build your design during the first visit, then return to paint it once it’s been fired. After glazing and a final kiln firing, your finished piece is ready to take home.

Clay sessions are fantastic for older children, teens and adults who enjoy creating something completely unique.

Potter’s Wheel Experiences

Want to try the magic of the potter’s wheel? We offer one-to-one wheel lessons where you’ll learn to:

• Knead and prepare the clay

• Centre it on the wheel

• Shape your own small bowl

There’s something truly special about feeling the clay spin beneath your hands and watching a lump transform into something useful. It’s mindful, absorbing and hugely satisfying.

After your throwing session, your bowl is dried and fired. You’ll then return to paint it before we glaze and fire it again, ready for collection.

Copper Enamel Jewellery & Creative Extras

We also offer copper enamelling sessions where you can design and create your own colourful jewellery pieces. It’s a brilliant option for older children, teens and adults looking for something a little different.

From time to time, we also introduce special seasonal crafts and creative experiences during school holidays.

Baby Prints & Family Keepsakes

One of our most popular experiences is creating baby hand and footprints on pottery. These make beautiful keepsakes and gifts for parents, grandparents and special occasions.

We help capture tiny prints safely and carefully, then transform them into adorable designs – from animals to seasonal characters. It’s a lovely, calm session and a very special way to preserve those little moments in time.
