We love watching creativity bloom, whether that be from an experienced maker, or first time pottery painter! Pottery therapy is a great mindfulness activity, a wonderful way to get creative with friends and family, see your little ones explore their artistic talents, have fun and a lovely a way to create a thoughtful gift for someone you love.
Our pottery painting studio is open Tuesday to Saturday, 10-5pm. We recommend booking during school holidays and rainy weekends but it is not essential. You can book by messaging our social media, email theteam@irisanddorastudios.gg or call our team on 01481 721375.
Spaces to enjoy creativity:
- In our cosy and calming studio
- Outside in our ‘Picnic and Pottery’ area
- Grab a paint at home kit to enjoy painting in your favourite space (We love painting at the beach, during bbq, picnics, and cosy at home)
Choosing your paint type:
We offer two different types of painting, acrylic and glaze. Acrylic painting allows you to take the pottery home on the day. This is great for little ones who are excited to take their piece home and don’t want to wait for their piece to be fired. It is also an ideal activity for those who are visiting the island for a short period of time. Acrylic pottery pieces range from £5-£12 and includes money banks, figures and ornaments.
Painting in glaze allows the pottery piece to be food and dishwasher safe, it can go outdoors and has a glossy finish. Pottery pieces range from £5-£48, there are over 500 pieces to choose from including homeware items, garden ornaments, planters, vases, lanterns, money banks, figures and large ornaments. It can take up to two weeks for a piece to be fired, if you are travelling or need a gift before this time frame please ask a member of staff before starting your painting and we will do our best to get it ready in time for you.
