Welcome to This Art of Mine. We are a pottery painting art studio located in the beautiful Kent countryside. Pottery painting is a fantastic activity for people of all ages. Below are some more details about how it works to give you all the information you need ahead of your visit.

We are also open Tuesday evenings 7pm-9pm and every day during school holidays.

Christmas Opening Times: The studio is open 21st and 22nd December for pottery painting (the pieces will be available for collection after Christmas) The studio will be closed from 23rd December and open again on 4th January. Have a wonderful Christmas!
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. 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 your pieces are paid for and left with us to be fired. They are ready to be collected one week later and pieces are kept for 28 days.
We look forward to welcoming you to the studio and ask that you book a table 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 £55 for our very large items. Mugs, bowls and plates are between £18-24. 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 pottery items are ready for collection in one week. 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. If you need longer to collect please call us to ensure we keep your piece.
For those who live further afield we can post items out from £6 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.

Classes
If you would like to extend your knowledge even further we also offer pottery painting and clay 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 £18 for children and £20 for adults, this includes everything.

What a fantastic place, so glad we came across you when looking on the internet for something to do today. We had a really lovely time, relaxed atmosphere, plenty of space and choice, help and advice at hand and a chance to try wheel throwing for the first time. Thank you so much, we look forward to coming back to paint our masterpieces! Debbie, 2017
