CREATIVE SERVICES
Pottery Painting is suitable for all ages and abilities. All pottery is individually priced ranging from £10 upwards with an ever-changing stock! When you visit our studio you will have a 1.5 hour session, plenty of time to sip coffee, eat cake and get creative. Our team has extensive knowledge in painting ceramics so we are on hand with tips and tricks and are ready for any paint disasters. After finishing your piece, we glaze and fire it all onsite and it’s ready for you to collect in typically 7 - 10 days.
Looking to make memories with your young family?
We offer a one-to-one service where one of our committed print specialists will assist you in capturing your child's hand and foot prints, guiding you through the entire process with professionalism. These hand and foot printing sessions must be pre-booked and cost £10 per session (25 minute appointment).
We work with you and your little one so everyone is relaxed - don’t worry if baby needs a feed or a cuddle first! We are completely breastfeeding friendly.
Unable to stay and create? If we are fully booked in our studio at your preferred session time or you would prefer to bring the experience home and paint at your leisure, we have paint away kits which include your choice of bisque, colours, tools and we pop in our easy how to guide. Prices start at £8, for either a pre-made box with all your essentials, or if you have a vision in mind you can customise your set, perfect for a little gift for someone or yourself. No need to book!

We’re not a big factory churning out identical pieces – every item here is a one-of-a-kind creation, painted by you in your own unique style. That’s what makes it special and this is our pottery pledge to each and every one of you:
Once your masterpiece is in our hands, we’ll take the utmost care with it in the kiln. But because we don’t know exactly how it’s been prepared or painted, we can’t promise absolute perfection every time.
A few top tips for the best results:
* Clean, dry hands (no hand cream)
* Wipe your pottery with a damp sponge before painting
* Use thin, even layers of paint
* Keep colours solid and bold for vibrancy
We’re a small, family-run business and we truly care about every piece and every customer. We’ll always do our very best to make sure your pottery comes out looking amazing… but please remember, handmade means a little unpredictability – and a whole lot of charm!
Showcase your incredible creations on social media and let everyone appreciate the hard work and creativity you’ve put into them! Remember to tag us (@madhattersarborfield) in your posts, as we would love to share in the celebration of your talent. We are excited to see all the amazing things you've made, so don’t hold back and let your creativity shine!
