FAQ

WHERE CAN WE PARK?

We have a small number of parking spaces available outside the front of the studio we like to keep free for our disabled customers and parents with young children and babies. Don’t worry if your car is blocking anyone in, everyone leaves at the same time! So pull up nice and close for us and we can get as many cars on as possible.

We also have free parking down the road at our sister company ‘On The Common’ (opposite the Wimpy). If both of these are full, just around the corner from On the Common is our friends at The Viceroy. They have a large carpark you are able to park on (just opposite the big field) and is only a couple minute walk to the PP studio.

How much does it cost?

The price really depends person to person.

Everyone who paints will pay a £5.00 studio charge, plus the price of the piece of pottery you decide to paint. Our pottery starts from £4.95 all the way up to £40.95.

For example our mugs cost £14.95, plus the studio charge of £5.00.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE?

Our sessions run for two hours, 9:30am-11:30am, 11:45am-1:45pm and 2:00pm-4:00pm. We are back to back so unfortunately are unable to seat you early or have your session run later.

We find that 2 hours is plenty of time to pick and paint your pieces but anything not finished, you’re welcome to book in another session to finish your piece a different day!
