Welcome to the Reasons To Be Cheerful Studio

​

Reasons To Be Cheerful is based in the lovely market town of Leighton Buzzard in Bedfordshire.

 

We have a bright and airy studio offering paint-your-own pottery and various art and craft workshops run by our experienced tutors for both adults and children

​

Even if you have never painted before, ceramic painting is easy and fun and you don't need to be an artist to give it a try!

Reasons To Be Cheerful Children's Toy and Gift Shop

We are the only children's toy and gift shop in Leighton Buzzard and it works really well alongside our creative studio.

​

Children are positively encouraged to explore and touch the lovely toys. 

 

We have a good range of

wooden toys for babies and toddlers and a variety of fun toys and gifts for older children. We also have a baby clothes department.

Ceramics            How it works

Booking – We offer drop-ins, but it is preferable to book your session

to avoid disappointment

​

Studio fee – We charge a one off studio fee of £3 per person that paints.                 (£5 for baby ceramics and evening sessions) This covers paints, firing and glazing. 

​

Ceramic items – We have a wide selection of items to paint for all ages

including tiles, money banks, plates, vases, party figures/animals and many more.

​

Paint and enjoy! – Once you have chosen your item it’s time to paint using

our selection of paints, brushes and sponges.

​

Glazing, firing and collection – Once you have painted your item we glaze

and fire it. We will call you and let you know when your ceramics are ready

to be collected in 7 - 14 days
