A calm creative escape for all ages in our Gloucester based creative studio!
Pottery Painting is one of our most popular studio staples. Book a table, pick your piece from our selection of ceramic blanks, and make it your own with our paints, brushes, and stencils.
Whether you're dropping in for a quiet solo afternoon, catching up with friends, or capturing a sweet milestone with baby handprints, it’s a completely relaxed space to unwind and create.

How Pottery Painting at Yarnwick Nook works
Pick your ceramic piece, choose your colours, and enjoy a relaxed hour or two of painting. Once your design is complete, leave it with us, we’ll glaze and fire it in our kiln, with your finished pottery ready to collect in 7–10 days. We have a wide range of blanks to suit every age, and we're always happy to share tips and ideas if you need a little inspiration. And of course, we always have hot drinks and fresh cake on hand to keep you fuelled while you create.
P.S. Our studio is a great spot for making thoughtful keepsakes, too. We can help you capture sweet milestones like baby handprints and footprints on mugs and plates.
Booking & Session Details
Booking your spot:
As one of our most popular activities, we recommend pre-booking just to make sure you get a seat! Each session lasting 2 hours (If it's a quieter day, you’re more than welcome to stay a little longer if bookings allow!)
How the pricing works:
Studio Fee: There is a £5 fee per painter, which covers your booking, all your paints, glazing, and the kiln firing.
Your Ceramic Piece:
Once you’re at the studio, you’ll choose your ceramic blank from our shelves. These are individually priced, so you can easily pick something that fits your style and budget. Prices start at £10.
Glazing and Firing
Once you head home, the final chapter of your pottery journey begins, the glazing and firing. Ceramics is a beautiful blend of art and science, and the kiln sometimes has a mind of it's own, even with expert handling, results can vary.
Many factors can influence how a piece finishes, and while we take every precaution to guide the process, some elements are simple out of our control. The unpredictability is part of the charm, and challenge, of pottery.
In the rare event that a piece cracks or becomes damaged during firing, we will happily provide a replacement voucher so you are never left disappointed.
