POTTERY PAINTING
We all need a space to dream, to create, to inspire and to be inspired.
At The Yard Pottery Painting Co. we provide a family friendly space where all ages and levels are welcome.
Pick from over 100 different pottery pieces and paint away a few hours using a wide variety of coloured glazes. Our prices range from £4 - £40 depending on the size and shape of the piece. We have plenty of inspiration and books around the shop to bring out your inner artist and creativity.
You can print hand or foot prints with any of our non-toxic paints, make an extra special Mother's or Father's Day gift, decorate your own Christmas Bauble or paint yourself a unique Jug. The possibilities are endless.
You can have your pottery piece personalised professionally by our in house artist with names and messages. Or ask us about or commission pieces if your looking for a special gift.
Join us on one of our workshops to learn new techniques and skills, meet new people and try something new.
Once your piece is finished it is then glazed and fired for a professional, food safe, keepsake which can be treasured for years to come.
Your pottery will be ready for collection 1 week after painting, if you are visiting ask us about posting your pottery to you or if you need something a little quicker just ask.
