Q:  Do you fire pottery not made in the Potter’s house Pottery?

A: yes we do.  If you buy the clay from us we will fire it for you.  Turn around times vary depending on how busy the Kilns are and also how dry your pieces are.  We will not fire clay that has not been bought from us, nor will we fire damp pottery.  For more information please get in touch.

Q:  Do you have a coffee shop?

A:  We have a small coffee shop selling drinks and cakes and snacks we do not sell hot food. We ask that you do not bring your own food unless previously discussed with staff members. Clay and bisque are extremely sensitive to food oils and residue and this can affect the glazes at the firing stage.

A: The Potters House Pottery offers a fun and creative experience for birthday parties, hen parties, staff days out or any celebrations.

Q: Do you do baby hand and foot prints?
