Happy Painting!!
Paint your own pottery at home kits
We are truly excited to be able to offer paint at home pottery kits. You choose the pottery and we package it up for you to collect and return to be glazed and fired
Happy Painting!
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. There is no studio fee and the price of the item is inclusive of 10 free paints, glazing and firing. You can purchase extra paints 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 Leighton Buzzard but if you have problems with the collecting, we may be able to offer a local delivery for a small cost. You can keep your kit for 3 days.
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 and numbers of friends!
This option does not come with our party trunk unless you order 8 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. If you want to change the theme you would need to add your items from the SHOP page and add to the shopping cart, or contact us directly.
These trunks are themed with either Unicorn or Dinosaur pottery pieces. There is currently a minimum order of 5 pieces for the trunk whilst we are limited to 6 people in our bubbles but you can add more if needed, and any further items from the same range are priced at £12.50. Just add the extra items from the SHOP option on the website when ordering your trunk.
Each trunk contains:
A minimum of 5 pieces of pottery whilst we are social distancing. You can add more if needed
10 paint colours - you can purchase further colours if required
Paint brushes
Brushes
Palettes
Water bowls
Tablecloth
