✨EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENT!!✨

We have some super exciting news that we can now officially announce to you all -

WE ARE MOVING!!! 🎉🎨

Don’t worry we aren’t going far! We are moving into a larger studio in the craft centre where we are already based which will provide us with much more space, a wider section of pottery, more home & giftware and enable us to provide more events! 👀

Opening the studio 4 years ago we never could have imagined how amazing our journey was going to be! We have provided so many amazing events, had thousands of people through our doors pottery painting, made so many new friends and been able to provide so many people with such a fun creative activity in the heart of Sherwood Forest! We have now just outgrown our current studio and look forward to having much more space for you all to enjoy. With over ten years ceramic experience we have so many new ideas to work with! 🖌️

We are so grateful to each and every one of you that has supported our business and chosen to paint or purchase from us so a huge thank you to you all 🫶

Our current studio shall be closed from Thursday 24th September and then we will reopen in our new studio on Friday 2nd October - we will now be in studio 11 (to the right hand side when coming through the main doors) 🎨

We will keep you all updated on this journey and even show you progress pictures along the way 👀 Our new studio will provide lots more space, a wider variety of pottery, larger selection of home & giftware and be able to provide more super exciting parties & events 🤩

A huge thank you to you all and we can’t wait to get this studio transformation journey underway as you all know we love a challenge! Just in time for our favourite time of the year to begin 🎃🎄

Updates and pictures to follow soon, Melissa 🎨x
