Summer Pottery Painting - Mires Beck, North Cave

Pottery Painting Workshop for all ages and abilities!

Come along to this peaceful venue in the countryside and choose what you'd like to paint from a selection of blank pottery bisque. I have lots of equipment for different decoration techniques so don't worry if you're not very artistic, I can show you how to create something wonderful using very simple methods. You won't even need to touch a paintbrush if you don't want to!

Once beautifully decorated, I will take your masterpieces away to dry, glaze and fire. They will be ready for you to collect in a couple of weeks from the retail hut at Mires Beck, or from myself in South Cave. I'll text to let you know when they're ready.

Prices range from £5 to £25 with most items around £15, to be paid for on the day by cash, card or online transfer. This is in addition to the £4 studio fee per person which is payable on booking. Parents and carers are welcome to paint as well, but if you don't want to paint please book a free ticket so I can manage seating. Please see my Facebook page www.facebook.com/rainbowtreepottery for examples of items painted at previous events. Let me know if you have your eye on something specific as I take a different selection to each workshop!

Ample parking is available on-site. Refreshments will be available to purchase on the day with all proceeds going to Mires Beck. For those not familiar with Mires Beck Nursery, it is a charity that cares for and supports adults with all sorts of disabilities through horticultural therapy. The service users thrive as they grow a huge variety of plants for retail and take part in lots of other fantastic activities and day-trips alongside. The nursery will be open until 4pm for you to have a wonder round, you may even find some beautiful new plants for your garden!
