Whether you’re looking to book a party for your child’s birthday, a hen party, team building, or just a big get-together, our wide range of packages will have you covered!
STUFF TO KNOW BEFORE BOOKING:
Our packages below are suitable for any and all ages* and types of groups!
For packages full payment is taken at time of booking, but refunds are given up to 48 hours before the party if numbers change or you need to cancel.
Sessions available for 10:30am, 1pm, or 3:30pm (excl. Package 7). Want to come on a weekday evening from 6pm? We can open for a minimum spend of £250.
Firm minimum requirement of 6 people to get our package prices. Please check each party package to see how many people need to be booked to secure the private party space* which is down some stairs (no access for buggies/wheelchair users). If the party numbers are below these requirements or already booked you may be sat in the main shop area with other customers - just ask if you aren’t sure! :)
ADULT GROUPS:
ADULT PARTIES - 2 HOURS LONG
For grown up groups we have a BYOB policy, let us know if you would like glasses to use, and you can bring along nibbles. We don’t charge any corkage but do ask you take away your bottles and recycle them yourselves.
If you will need your items posted we can do so for a small extra fee. This will be to one address only.
KIDS PARTIES:
LIL KIDS PARTIES (UNDER 6’S) - 1 HOUR LONG
KIDS PARTIES (UNDER 11’S) - 1 ½ HOURS LONG
Kids parties for under 11’s are subject to availability particularly at weekends - and may only be offered at a start time of 4pm (maximum 1½ hours long). Weekdays during term time we can offer more space for kids parties - try an after-school session starting at 4pm!
Please contact us first if you are booking a party for kids so we can advise you on dates. Due to the nature of our building, sound travels, so if we have other bookings in at the same time we do ask you help us to keep the volume levels of the party in check as best you can, and keep the children seated.
For children’s parties we ask no more than 2 adults attend unless otherwise stated, as we are a small space and don’t have room for more. On especially busy days we may not be able to provide seats for the non-painters.
For children’s parties we can provide squash, and if you want to bring along food we will save the last 20 minutes of the session for you to do a snack spread (children cannot be eating the same time as painting).

You’ll find us in the heart of Brighton’s North Laines. We are just a 10 minute walk from the train station, or 15 minutes from the pier. You can’t miss our pink and green exterior, but in case you do here’s a map.

What to expect:
When you arrive your studio assistant will guide you through the process of creating your masterpiece. They will fill you full of inspiration, with bundles of tips and tricks on design and colour. We will be close by to answer any questions whilst you catch up, unwind and create. And we do all the clearing up at the end!
REQUEST A BOOKING BELOW: (please select quantity of attendees)
We reserve the right to decline your booking if you haven’t read through the above information and made sure your booking applies any requirements, but of course we’ll contact you to help you get the correct thing booked :) Until we have ‘accepted’ your booking, it is not confirmed. Please email us before booking a kids party for a weekend so we can confirm available slots.
Glazing and firing your painted pottery.
We try our best to ensure that the creative journey you take with us is fun and enjoyable. The final part of the journey involves the glazing and firing of your pottery. Sadly this is not an exact science and the kiln is sometimes unpredictable. While we strive for perfection it doesn’t happen all the time, particularly as these are hand-produced crafts. Glaze spotting can occur as well as things like brick dust on the items. Please be aware that although we try to control for these events it is not always possible to prevent. It can be the charm but also the frustration of working with ceramics. Sometimes, if we feel it is safe to do so, we will re-fire your pottery to try to fix glazing issues. In the unlikely event of your pottery breaking or cracking in the kiln we will of course offer compensation by way of a replacement voucher.
Glazing and firing your thrown pots.
Please be aware that sometimes clay fired items can break or very occasionally even explode in the kiln. We try to control for these events but it is not always possible. It is the charm but also the frustration of working with ceramics.
