How it works
When you arrive at the studio you will be greeted by one of our friendly members of staff who will show you to your table and explain how it works. You will then pick the ceramic piece you like the look of and you can begin painting. Alternatively you can book on to a clay session and use your hands to make a unique item out of clay. A member of staff will be around to answer any questions and offer tips and techniques to help you get the best result. When you have finished painting or making your items from clay, your pieces are paid for and left with us to be fired in our kilns. Painted items will be ready to be collected one week later, and pieces you have made out of clay will be ready two weeks later. All pieces are kept for 28 days once they have been fired.
Book a Table
We look forward to welcoming you to the studio and ask that you book a place for a time and date to suit you.
Prices
All our pottery is individually priced, you simply select the piece you want from the shelves. Pottery items start from £12 (for the smallest) and go up to £60 for our very large items. Mugs, bowls and plates are between £18-38. We have hundreds of items so there is something for everyone’s budget. Firing, paints and studio time is all included in the price.
Collection and postage
All painted items are ready for collection in one week, and all clay items are ready for collection in two weeks. Come and collect from the studio anytime during our opening hours (please see above). The collection area is just inside the door to the studio.
We keep all items for 28 days once they have been fired. If you need longer to collect please call us or text us to ensure we keep your piece.
For those who live further afield we can post items out from £8 per item. Please note that this may take a little longer than a week to arrive but will be well wrapped and sent recorded delivery.
For small items £8 per item: ornaments and egg cups.
For medium items £12 per item: money boxes, mugs, plates.
For large items: £16 per item: large vases, large jugs, large dishes.
Classes
If you would like to extend your knowledge even further we also offer pottery painting, clay, art and glass fusing classes. During these workshops you will learn new skills and techniques and create a beautiful pieces to keep or give as a gift.
T-shirt designing
As an alternative to pottery painting for those that want to take something home on the day, you can design and paint your own t-shirt. Draw a picture on paper, paint it with our special paints and we print it for you onto a t-shirt. Once it’s printed it is totally washable and can be worn straight away. T-shirts cost £20 for children sizes and £22 for adult sizes, this includes everything.
Baby hand and footprints
We run monthly baby hand and footprint sessions at the studio where parents can book an appointment and we will help them capture their little ones prints into clay or onto ceramics.

“Such a beautiful setting and friendly staff. We love every visit.” Sophie, 13th July 2026
“I recently visited This Art of Mine for a pottery painting session, and I cannot recommend it highly enough. From start to finish, it was a truly fantastic experience. I was blown away right from the start by the incredible selection of pottery items available to choose from. Whether you want to create something practical like a mug or a bowl, or something purely decorative, there is truly something for everyone. The studio itself is clean, tidy, and exceptionally comfortable, providing the perfect space to relax and let your creativity flow. What really made the day special was the wonderful staff. They were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and brilliant at giving advice and suggesting different painting techniques to help bring our ideas to life. Combined with the beautiful location, the whole experience had a lovely, peaceful ambiance. It is the perfect creative escape, and I will definitely be back!” Charlotte, 14th June 2026
