Pottery painting is a popular activity perfect for a date night, friends catch-up, family time, or a solo outing. Whether you pop into a pottery studio or visit a pottery painting cafe, you’re sure to have an incredible time and let your creative mind run wild.
Most pottery painting cafes and studios work by having you pick a plain ceramic object and use special glaze paints to decorate it however you fancy. Once you’ve created your unique masterpiece, you can leave it in the café or studio so they can fire it in a kiln. You can then go back to pick it up, and it’ll be ready for use or display.
If you’d much rather relax in the comfort of your scenic campsite, many of the pottery painting cafes and studios also offer a home DIY kit full of all the things you’ll need for pottery painting in your own space.
When it comes to picking a ceramic object, most pottery painting studios and cafes have a wide selection of pieces. Check out our list below to find a pottery painting cafe or studio near you.
