Yes! We want to create a welcoming space that is accessible for everyone, regardless of their mobility needs. There is a fully operational lift that provides convenient access to the entire area, and all amenities have been thoughtfully designed to ensure they are easily usable for both wheelchair users and those with prams. Unfortunately motorised scooters are too big to fit in our lift but please feel free to use the lift and we will seat you in our step free area. Please feel free to contact us

Yes! This truly lies at the heart of what we do here at Buxton Pottery Painting. All of our paints are nontoxic and water-based therefore specifically formulated to be child-friendly, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone. We are proud to offer a solely, family-friendly space, offering low chairs and tables as well as a baby play pen (for non-walkers) so that mums can be on hands for other little ones or to enjoy their own painting experience hands free, therefore the whole family having a wonderful, creative experience.

You paint, we finish! Once you have painted your chosen pottery piece, we let your piece dry, then glaze it to give its shine and then fire it in our onsite kilns, giving your piece a beautiful finish.

We hope to have it ready for collection between 5-7 working days.  For those who are not local to the area or have reasons that they would be unable to collect, there is an option of having your piece posted to you at an additional cost.
