There are so many benefits with paint-at-home kits, they allow you to complete projects in your own time frame, you can fit it into your busy schedule when you need some down time. Pottery therapy is great for mindfulness, if you’re having a bad day, are feeling unwell or just want a duvet day, it’s a positive distraction from negative thoughts and helps you to relax. Creating a piece you’re proud of gives you a great sense of achievement. It’s a fabulous activity for all ages, from little ones to grandparents, which can be realised inside on a rainy day or outside in the sunshine! Paint-at-Home kits also make a great gift for children and adults!

We offer two different types of paint at home kits, acrylic and glaze. Acrylic painting allows you to keep your pottery at home. This is great for little ones who 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 include money boxes, 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.
We recommend you visit the studio to select your piece and colour choices, however if you have a particular piece in mind or are isolating, please send us an email or message through social media and we can send you pottery and paint choices.
