With the sun coming out more, we are all looking for fun activities to get our teeth into with friends and family. Pottery painting is the perfect activity for this time of year, as you can sit outside and have a relaxed few hours chatting away while also creating a cute little piece of art. There are hundreds of pottery painting classes and businesses across the UK, so here are some that may be near you.
Paint Pot, Clitheroe
Paint Pot is a welcoming establishment that encourages children, adults and everyone in between to come and let their creativity fly. This quaint pottery barn allows you to choose a pottery piece and spend hours designing and completing the painting element of the item.
Most days, Paint Pot is filled with the general public. However, you can book it out for your own birthday event. There are also dedicated event nights such as ladies night or late night painting. So, be sure to keep up to date with what they are up to. This is one of the best pottery painting classes in the UK.
Going Pottie Studio, Dunkeld
This beautiful Scottish pottery studio is a family-run business that has been going strong since 2007. Here you can paint your own pottery, choosing from an array of pottery from mugs to money banks. There is even the option to record a print of your baby’s feet and/or hands, which is a priceless memory piece.
You can book Going Pottie Studio for birthday parties, work nights out and everything in between.
If you have an upcoming event for someone special, you can also commission a painting by the professionals working at Going Pottie Studio. They will create anniversary, birthday, wedding and many more event pieces for you, if you feel as though you can’t create it yourself.
