A paint your own pottery place located on the bottom floor of the Piece Hall this is a fantastic place to take the kids. You pay for your pot/plate/piggybank etc and the price includes your paint and the cost to have it fired so that the paint becomes a lovely glaze. It can get quite expensive but these pieces make fab presents for grandmas and grandads at christmas time. Give your kids a plate to paint and let them put their handprints on it for a special keepsake.
The shop is decorated with examples of artwork to get you inspired to create your own masterpiece. It's very relaxing to sit and paint and adults get into it as much as the kids do.
They also have a little refreshment area so you can buy drinks and small snacks to keep you going while you work.
I'm guessing it gets very busy here in the run up to christmas so it's best to go early if you're thinking about getting christmas presents done here. read more
