How the party works

Tables will be prepared with all the necessary equipment and will be decorated with some balloons.  For children’s parties (of 7 painters or more) a special commemorative plate is painted for the birthday person.  Any reserved pottery will be on your table.  Once all guests have arrived we will explain how to do the painting.  You then get creative! 

We are on hand to help & advise during the party but do not supervise the whole party, so for kids’ parties we recommend that you bring enough adults to assist.  Once you have finished painting we will clear the tables so you can have the food.   Pottery is left with us and typically ready to collect 1 week later.  The pottery will be wrapped individually in tissue and in one or two large bags ready to collect (additional/individual bags can be purchased as gift wrap/party bag please ask for more details).

Balloons (helium filled) can be purchased at £1 per balloon.

Food

We can supply hot/cold drinks and basic snacks but do not offer a food service.  You are welcome to bring your own party food and cake.  For adults you are able to bring alcohol,  we only ask that you are sensible as we have customers of all ages in the studio. If you are bringing your own food, you will need to bring all your own cups, plates, napkins etc. Some parties have pizza delivered or other take away food which can work well.  

Booking

You will need to book in advance to check we have space and to ensure you reserve the date you want. To confirm your party booking we ask for a non-refundable deposit of £50 for parties of 7 or more and late bookings.  The deposit is deducted from the final bill on the day.

The downstairs area can be booked out privately - please enquire if you want to have a private party.
