A gentle, design-led session for people who think visually and enjoy spending time with colour, image and their hands. This is an opportunity to step out of the everyday pace for a few hours and focus on surface, rhythm and placement, taking something functional and giving it a new skin.

Each piece you work on begins as one of our handcrafted bisque pots, made in-house by our team from stoneware clay. Using underglaze colours, you’ll explore how colour behaves on form, how images sit on curved surfaces, and how repeated marks can build balance and movement.

There’s time here to slow down, test ideas, and let the work shift as you go. Some people arrive with clear plans, others discover their direction through the act of painting itself. Both approaches are welcomed and supported.

"A very enjoyable activity, well presented and in a relaxing environment. I attended with five friends, and we were all delighted with our painting achievements. Thank you to Chris and the team for offering great support while still giving us space to explore different techniques. A lovely morning!"
