Activities
Baby Hand and Foot Prints
Capture that special moment in time by creating painted ceramics.
Printed hand and foot prints can be made on a great selection of bisque. You can either choose to decorate as many items yourself for the cost of a studio fee. Alternatively you can commission Happy Glaze to write a message, name or decorate the items for you for £6 per item.
Please note that babies under 1 year are recommended to create footprints and not hand prints.
Adult Masterclasses
Our adult masterclasses are held on the last Thursday of each month. You don’t need to be an expert to join these classes, they are designed to be fun and will follow an informal paint-along format where you learn to create a specific design onto a particular piece of pottery. Lots of fun in a creative, friendly environment with a glass of prosecco and a bowl of nibbles included.

Clay Imprints
A great way to capture a moment in time is to create clay imprints of your babies feet and hands. Create your own permanent reminder of how cute their little toes and fingers are!
You can choose any footprints or handprints combination and and colour. We can either frame your clay pieces or provide with a velvet ribbon, ready for you to collect at a later date.

Holiday Workshops
During school holidays we hold family and drop-off workshops. The minimum age is 7 years old and prices are set depending on the activity. Each workshop is a guided, step-by-step session on how to create something beautiful! So far we have painted butterflies, Converse shoes and made plaques and bowls from clay.
These friendly workshops are a great activity for families and individuals alike.

Birthday Activities
Due to the size of our studio, we are unable to host birthday parties unless the whole studio is booked out for a 2 hour session. The studio seats a maximum of 22 people and adults are welcome to stay and join in the fun. Please contact the studio to check availability and discuss options. We are more than happy to tailor the options to paint to your individual needs. The minimum number of painters is 15 and packages start at £15.
Painting ceramics is a great way to celebrate a birthday with a group of friends, so if you’d rather book a table during a normal session, we are able to host a maximum of 8 people at one table.
Contact us to make an enquiry.
Groups
We host painting sessions for local nurseries, schools, businesses and uniformed groups in our studio, at their premises or over zoom. All sessions are tailored to each group and we’ve hosted rainbows through to explorers.
Among many designs, we’ve painted galaxy/alien mugs, ice cream beakers and Christmas decorations, each and every one as unique as the children.
Our studio can seat a maximum of 22 painters and we can cater for any budget.
If you’d like to discuss options and dates, do get in touch.
Late night Thursdays
Our weekly adult only session runs every Thursday from 6pm until 9pm. It’s a 3 hour session for the usual £5 studio fee plus the cost of your pottery.
We cater for individuals looking for some mindful ‘me’ time, as well as groups of co-workers or like-minded friends looking for an inspirational space to have a chat whilst being creative.
You are able to bring your own booze during these sessions, as well as nibbles. Our customers love these evenings, so it’s advisable to book! It’s always a lot of fun and you’ll be amazed at what you and your friends can achieve.
To book a session, either call the studio or use our booking form.
