Pottery Painting Kits
How It Works....
We have made it as easy as we can for you to be able to choose your pottery items on the website and have fun painting them at home. Your order is inclusive of 10 free paints, glazing and firing. You can purchase extra paints for a small cost if you want to choose from our palette on the bottom of the SHOP screen.
Your pottery will be ready for you to collect once we have received your order and have put your paint at home kit together. We will contact you once your kit is ready. Please let us know if there is any urgency for a special occasion. Collection of your kit is in Wistaston but if you have problems with the collecting, we may be able to offer a local delivery for a small cost but please message before you order. You can keep your kit for 3 days.
STEP 1

Happy Painting
You will find an instruction card in your paint at home pottery kit. Please make sure that you follow these instructions. The paint in the kit is a special underglaze paint and needs glazing and firing. You cannot use any other paints, pens or embellishments!

The Magic Happens!
Bring everything back to us for your items to be glazed and fired. This will take us between 7 and 14 days depending on how busy we are, it might even be sooner! Please let us know if it is urgent. If for any reason our firing times change we will let you know
Please return all the items in your kit including brushes, paints and palettes. Thank you!
Party Options
Are you looking for a fun activity for your child’s birthday? A Pottery painting party is a fabulous way to entertain the children. You can choose any number of items or combinations of pottery to suit your budget by using the paint at home SHOP option on the website. We will supply you with everything you need including paint, brushes and pallets.
There is no minimum spend or quantities with this option and it means your child can choose their favourite pieces of pottery for their friends!
We may be able to host your party for children over 12 years old in our home studio. Please contact us for further details
This option does not come with our party trunk unless you order 6 or more items
Party Trunks
We have put together a party trunk option to add that special touch to your child’s birthday. The themes are Dinosaur or Unicorns. You can change the theme of the pottery to go in the trunk but cannot change the trunk. We have either dinosaur or unicorn.
HOW TO ORDER
You can order any items of pottery to go in your trunk. Minimum number is 6 items. We do have unicorns and dinosaurs to match or trunk themes but this is not essential if you would like to choose any other pottery from our extensive range. Add your pottery items from the SHOP page including ordering your chosen trunk. We do not charge a deposit on our party trunks as we trust that they will be returned in good condition with all items contained in the trunk also returned including brushes, tablecloth and paints etc.
Each trunk contains:
A minimum order of 6 pieces
10 paint colours - you can purchase further colours if required
Paint brushes
Brushes
