Pottery Painting in 4 easy steps

 

 

First you choose your pottery. At this stage all our pottery has been moulded and fired at 1000 degrees ready for you to paint
Now you can choose your colours and paint your pottery to your own design
After the paint has dried we then 'glaze' your pottery. This involves coating your pottery in a liquid glaze which is normally blue. It then has to dry for up to 24 hours
We then put your pottery in our kiln and fire it at 1000 degrees. This process involves a heating up stage and a very slow cooling down stage, which takes a total of 24 hours

From baby footprints and handprints, to personalised gifts, there really is something to cater for all tastes and all occasions.
