How the "Take-Away" Painting Party works...
-
Purchase your party ceramics, please see list below. Please note: these items are subject to availability according to what we have in stock at the time of your enquiry. Therefore we recommend enquiring at least 14 days before the date you wish to collect your Kit (which may not be the same as the activity date) to guarantee they will be in stock & reserved for you... we may need to to order them in specially.
-
Rent a Take-Away Equipment Kit Please note: there is a cash rental deposit required against damages/loss to the equipment kit items which is refunded - in full or in part - according to the state of the Kit contents when you return everything to the Studio. Unfortunately prior experiences have made this a necessity. The deposit amount will vary according to the number of guests in your party e.g. for up to 10 people the deposit is £50. The deposit is payable in cash on collection of the kit.
-
Take everything with you on a pre-arranged collection date - up to and no later than 7 days in advance of your party.

Enjoy your painting party at your desired location: we will provide a "Top Tips" information sheet and "Before & After Glaze Colour Chart" to avoid any disappointment with the finished product.

Return your painted ceramics to the Studio and we will glaze and fire them for you.
-
Collect your fired pottery from the Studio 2 weeks after the return date.
