☀️ Sunshine = Bubble Tea Season! 🧋🍓🍍

When the weather heats up, there’s nothing better than an ice-cold, fruity Bubble Tea! 🍹

Choose from a huge range of refreshing fruit tea flavours, then add your favourite popping fruit bubbles for that little burst of fun with every sip! 💥😋

The best bit? You don’t have to be painting pottery to enjoy one! Pop in, grab a takeaway Bubble Tea and cool down while you’re out and about. (Although if you fancy painting while you’re here… we certainly won’t stop you! 😉🎨)

Perfect for a lunchtime treat, a shopping break or just because you deserve one!

Who’s due a Bubble Tea this week? Tell us your favourite flavour below! 👇🧋

🎉 You lot are unbelievable! 🎉

We announced an extra Jellycat-inspired Hand Building Workshop… and within just a few days that one filled up too! 😍

So… you’ve twisted our arm! We’ve added yet another date…

📅 Friday 7th August
🕡 6:30pm

Come along and hand-build your own adorable Jellycat-inspired clay characters with clay. These workshops have been so much fun, and we can’t wait to see what everyone creates next! 🐻🐰🐸✨

A little reminder…

🎨 Everyone attending must make clay characters – no spectators.
👧 Anyone under the age of 14 must be accompanied by a participating adult.

If you’ve been meaning to book, don’t leave it too long… the last two dates sold out really quickly, and we’d hate for you to miss out again!

Book your place here 👇

🫖🐇 Oh my ears and whiskers, what a curious afternoon it was yesterday! 🐇🫖

We tumbled down the rabbit hole for our Mad Hatter’s Pottery Painting Tea Party, and what a bonkers adventure it turned out to be!

🎩 Megan transformed into the most magnificent Mad Hatter, while ❤️ Chelsea ruled the studio as the Queen of Hearts (fortunately nobody lost their head!).

We sipped delicious “Drink Me” bubble teas, nibbled on “Eat Me” shortbread, and enjoyed a feast fit for Wonderland thanks to the fabulous Busy V’s Sweets & Treats.

Meanwhile, Paints with Soph worked her magic creating the most enchanting face paints.

We must admit, the White Rabbit seems to have misplaced a few of our guests this time around, as we didn’t have as many customers for this one. Our Wonderland parties normally sell out faster than you can say “Curiouser and curiouser!” But to everyone who did join us, thank you for making our day so mad. We are incredibly grateful for every single one of you. ❤️

And remember…

“You’re entirely bonkers. But I’ll tell you a secret… all the best people are.”
♠️♦️♥️♣️

Next, we’re swapping Wonderland for Rydell High as we travel back to the fabulous 1950s for our Grease-themed pottery party! Expect music, food, fun, prizes and plenty of pottery painting.

🎶 Tell me more, tell me more… 🎶

✨ And the themed fun doesn’t stop there! Alongside our upcoming Grease party, we’re also bringing back one of our most popular events — Swiftie Sunday! 🎤💖

So if you’re a Taylor Swift fan who knows all too well that pottery painting and singing along to your favourite Taylor hits are the perfect combination, keep your eyes peeled for that one too. Friendship bracelets, fabulous tunes, themed treats and plenty of painting await!

So lovely to see this from our friend Sophie (who is the most fantastic face painter - we can highly recommend!).

I just wanted to say a huge thank you to The Painting Pot in Selby for having me at their Mad Hatter's Tea Party such a wonderful experience!

The atmosphere is friendly, inclusive, and inspiring, bringing people together through creativity and connection. It was the perfect setting for our Mad Hatter's Tea Party, and the support and enthusiasm from the team helped make the event even more memorable.

It's fantastic to have such a creative hub in Selby that welcomes people from all walks of life and encourages everyone to get involved, have fun, and express themselves.
Thank you again for your kindness, hospitality, and for providing such a beautiful space for the community. We can't wait to visit and work with you again soon! 🎩☕🎨❤️

A Little Reminder About The Painting Pot

One of the things we love most about The Painting Pot is the atmosphere.

Whether you’re 3 or 93, popping in with friends, bringing the grandchildren, catching up over coffee, or enjoying some quiet creative time, we want everyone to feel comfortable, welcome and relaxed.

To help us keep the studio a friendly space for all, we kindly ask visitors to be mindful of their language and behaviour whilst in the studio. We welcome people from all walks of life, but ask that everyone treats fellow customers and our team with courtesy and respect.

After all, pottery painting is supposed to be relaxing! 😊

Thank you for helping us keep The Painting Pot the warm, family-friendly, creative space that so many of you know and love.

💚 Be kind.
🎨 Be creative.
☕ Enjoy the moment.

Love,
The Painting Pot Team x
