1
Do I need to be artistic?
Not at all we have everything you need to create your masterpiece, including tools, books of ideas and helpful staff. After all some of the most effective designs we see are often the most simple.
2
How much does it cost?
Our pots start at £13 and there’s plenty of choice under the £20 range. All prices include the all the materials you need plus the glazing and firing.
3
Do I need to book?
It’s always advisable to book, especially at weekends during school holidays and towards Christmas as these times can be very busy if you do book and can no longer make it we would appreciate you letting us know as soon as possible as we often have a waitlist and somebody else could take your table.
4
How long does it take?
We will usually book you in for a two hour session, but you don’t need to use all this time. It will all depend on what you decide to paint and how intricate your design is and don’t worry if you don’t finish you can always come back at a later date (for a small studio fee).
5
When will my pots be ready?
We do all the glazing and firing in our studio on a rotation basis from the time they were painted. We will advise you when you come in what hour turnaround time is but usually it’s 7 to 10 days if an item is required urgently let us know, and we will do our very best to get it ready for you as soon as possible. We can post your items to you and ask you to cover the postage.
6
Do you serve drinks and snacks?
Yes we do to help those creative juices flow. We offer a wide selection of hot and cold refreshments and freshly baked sweet goods. We usually have a cake of the day available as well as cookies or doughnuts.
If you would like something a bit more substantial, we can offer a traditional afternoon tea. Booking is essential.

Can you accommodate parties?
Absolutely parties at Fired Arts are great fun for both children and adults to enjoy, from children’s parties to leaving do’s, baby showers to hen dos. We have a party room which can comfortably accommodate 12 people or for larger parties we could book out the downstairs floor of the studio for you. Please visit our 'What we offer' page for more details.

Can you take pots away for painting at home?
If you’d rather paint at home or host an offsite event we can put together a takeaway kit for you. We would ask for a small deposit for the paints, palettes and brushes and you would pay for the pots you take with you.
