Your guide to painting with us

Fun painting

Get creative and do your own thing! We have standard or fun paints to try out, all the equipment and techniques on hand. These sessions are typically 2 hours long or on a drop in basis. Younger children are likely to complete their pieces faster! These sessions are often busier, but great fun!

Coming soon:

Pre school painting - Plans are afoot to deliver a transition to school focused three or four week course for older toddlers and pre schoolers. These sessions will focus on beginning to bridge the leap between 'messy play' and focused work, introducing the idea of creating a design, sharing paints, washing brushes and thinking about colours. This course is being designed in collaboration with Early Years Professionals and will be beginning this spring

Art Focus

These are generally pre booked sessions with smaller groups, allowing us to really get into the techniques and improve your ceramic painting skills. These are suitible for beginners through to advanced painters, recommended for anybody with the attention span!

Adult Relax

Often evening sessions, aimed to be calmer and more socialble. pairs well with a meze style platter available at some of our venues, and a good glass of wine or a nice coffee. 

Baby and Toddler Printing

'My Little Feet' sessions are run by our resident baby-painter Trina, this is the opportunity to get a great print of your baby or toddler's hand or foot print. The session includes support to complete your design with writing, dates or other details. There is also the option to have a bespoke design created for you to make your keepsake into a masterpeice to treasure. Price for additional design will vary according to detail requested.
