Pottery Painting - How It Works

Creating your own masterpiece at Rainbow Pottery is easy, fun, and perfect for all ages. Whether you’re visiting us for a family day out, a special occasion, or just a bit of creative relaxation, our simple four-step process ensures you’ll leave with a unique and beautifully finished piece to treasure. Here’s how it works:

  1. Step 1:

    Choose Your Piece

    To book a table, there is a £5 studio fee per painter, payable when booking. This covers your table reservation, use of paints, glazing, and kiln firing.

    On the day of your visit, you’ll choose and pay separately for your bisque pottery item. Prices vary depending on the piece selected, with options including mugs, plates, animals, vases, plaques, money boxes, and more.

  2. Step 2:

    Design and Paint

    Unleash your creativity using our child-safe, non-toxic paints. We provide a variety of brushes, sponges, and other tools to help you bring your vision to life.

    Don’t worry if you’re a beginner—our friendly team is always here to assist and inspire. Feel free to bring your own design ideas, or simply let your imagination run wild!

  3. Step 3:

    Glazing and Firing

    Once you’ve finished your masterpiece, leave it with us for glazing and firing in our on-site kiln.

    This process enhances the durability, gloss, and vibrancy of your creation, making it a truly unique, long-lasting keepsake. The firing typically takes around 2 weeks, so your piece will be ready in no time!

  4. Step 4:

    Collect Your Creation

    Your finished pottery piece will be ready for collection within two weeks. When it’s ready, pop back into the studio to pick up your unique work of art.

    Please note: If you are coming to collect your pottery, we recommend calling, texting, or emailing us beforehand in case we are closed.

We look forward to welcoming you to Rainbow Pottery and helping you create a beautiful, personalized piece of pottery that you'll treasure forever!
