Birthday Gatherings
We’d be delighted to host a birthday gathering here at our studio. Please note that our biggest table seats 10 ( which includes a supervising adult) and ask that the birthday child is turning 9 years or over.
Studio Capacity
You’ll need to book a table using our online booking system and will need one supervising adult to sit with the children. We only allow a maximum of 2 non painting supervising adults on each table and no standing.
You will need to pay a deposit of £6 per painter which covers the studio fees for the painters booked. All you will pay for on the day are the items painted. Please note that if painters do not show up on the day, the studio fee is non-refundable.
The deposit is paid via a payment link which will be sent to you upon confirmation of your booking. Please read our cancellation policy should your numbers change or you wish to cancel.
Food & Drink
Please note that we cannot allow any food including sandwiches, cake or cupcakes to be brought into the studio.
We do sell a selection of snacks and drinks, but feel free to bring an individually bottled or carton drink, or packet of snacks per person, i.e., iced gems etc.
Ideally we would prefer no food and would respectfully ask that consumption is left to the end, after painting has finished. Please ensure that they are individually wrapped and not on sharing plates/bowls.
Studio Sessions
We charge a £6 studio fee per painter, and our bisque range between £12 – £20 is very popular for birthday gatherings. Our studio staff are on hand to help the guests choose their pieces within the price range specified.
Please bear in mind that generally the smaller the item, the less time it will take, so we suggest a maximum time of 1.5 hours for smaller items. I’m sure you’ll appreciate that space is limited and we are unable to allow the children to get up and wander around should they finish earlier! Please call the studio and we’d be happy to advise when to tell the parents to collect if you’re unsure.
Parties for more than 9 painters
If you’d like to invite more than 9 painters, you’ll need to book the studio exclusively. You’re then able to invite up to 25 painters and your group must include a minimum of 2 supervising adults. The minimum age of turning 9 still applies.
Please note that we have a minimum spend of £350 regardless of how many painters you invite.
If you’d like to request exclusive use, please use our group booking from here to request availability.
Paint-at-home Parties
If you’d rather hold your birthday party in your own home or venue, we offer a takeaway box for a charge of £30 for the first 6 painters, plus £3 per additional.
Each takeaway box contains 15 coloured paints, enough brushes, palettes, sponges and a few stickers as well as a few pots of sparkle paint. All you need to do is choose your pottery, at an additional charge.
There’s also a useful tip sheet which contains the same advice we give painters in the studio. To book a paint at home birthday box, please call the studio to arrange. You’ll need to visit the studio before the collection date in order to choose your pottery.
