CERAMICS PAINTING WORKSHOP
SATURDAY 30th JUNE 2025
Join us for a one-day ceramics painting session — open to all ages and skill levels.
Choose a handmade piece from our collection, paint it using our studio glaze and tools, and leave it with us to be professionally fired. It’s your chance to create a one of a kind ceramic work in a relaxed, supportive setting. Your booking ticket gives you acces to join the workshop anytime between 10am and 3pm. Closing at 4pm. We recommend allowing up to an hour to complete your piece or you’re welcome to stay longer, take your time, or book multiple items and make a day of it.
Bookings are made by selecting your piece below. Each ticket includes the item, materials, expert guidance, and firing. On the day just show us your receipt and we’ll get you started. Once fired, your piece will be ready to collect from our Paddington studio within 2 weeks or, if it’s easier, you can pick it up at our next event on the last Saturday of the month. We can also post it to you — you can decide on the day.
Each piece is handmade locally. Variations in shape, texture or form are not flaws they’re part of the making process, and a reminder that irregularity brings character and meaning. We encourage you to experiment, make a mess, and lean into the unexpected — that’s where the magic is.
