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. As soon as your creations have been cooled, checked and wrapped up, we will message out for you to come and collect. Please contact us about our current turn around times as they can vary time of year dependant. If you do a require a quicker turnaround than we are advertising, please pop this in the notes on your booking or inform us as soon as possible and we will endeavour to make this happen, whilst ensuring that your creations are handled with the utmost care and attention that they deserve.

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.
