Checkout our calendar page to see what’s on this month and to indulge in some creative workshops or classes. Our shop is open 7 days from 10am to 4pm with classes throughout the day & evenings.
Book into one of our creative classes to gain skills in clay, art or textiles alongside like minded people.
We have two main hubs, one covering pottery and various arts, the other focused on textiles with sewing, stitching, embroidery and patchwork.
We have drop in tables for those wanting to use the pottery studio as a member, or just stop in and select and enjoy decorating ready to paint handmade ceramic onsite any time (firing service included)
We cater for kids from 5yrs to adults. There is something for everyone and we also do onsite and offsite party & group bookings!
We have an expanding selection of retail items for sale, soon to be stocking primo pro clay, kiwi under-glazes and a good collection of brush on glazes and tools for pottery.
