You dont have to be an expert art enthusiast, first of all you pick what you want to paint - a cup, or plate or vase etc etc, then you get given a choice of lots of different paints and let loose! There are books you can look at to help you, and the staff are really friendly and are on hand to answer any questions. Take your time and paint your cup or whatever - when you are finished they bake it and you come back and get it a few days later. Makes a great present!
