glazing and firing

your painted pottery:

We try our best to ensure that the creative journey you take with us is fun and enjoyable. The final part of this journey involves the glazing and firing of your pottery. Sadly this is not an exact science and the kiln is sometimes unpredictable. While we strive for perfection it doesn’t happen all the time particularly as these are hand produced crafts. Glaze spotting can occur as well as things like brick dust on the items.
Please be aware that although we try to control for these events it is not always possible. It can be the charm but also the frustration of working with ceramics.
Sometimes, if we feel it is safe to do so, we will re-fire the pottery to try to fix glazing issues.
In the exceptional event of your pottery breaking or cracking in the kiln we will offer compensation by way of a replacement voucher.

The wall behind them has colorful writing about painting layers, color mixing, and clay, with a balloon that says 'Happy Birthday!'. A table in front has paint bottles, brushes, and plates.

WORKS

Step 1.

Step 2.

Think about your design - we’ll explain how the paints work and show you all the tools we have to use! Ask us if you’re not sure how to achieve a design.

Step 3.

Start painting! We have over 25 colours, plus speciality speckles and sparkles to choose from and you can mix them together for even more choices. These are water based and non-toxic paints. Enjoy our cafe service whilst you paint.

Step 4.

Leave it with us to glaze and fire. You items will be ready around 10 days later. Just visiting? We can post your items to you within the UK only for an extra fee at your own risk.

Are you looking to bring along your baby to do some pottery prints? We ask that no more than 3 babies come in one group at a time. We aren’t a huge space and can’t accommodate more than a couple of pushchairs at a time, so we do ask you bring baby along in a carrier if possible!
