Our caterer can also provide party food packages (at an additional cost) which might save you the job – please ask when making your booking.
When will our party pottery be ready? Once you and your guests have finished painting, you will leave the item in our capable hands. We will glaze and fire them in our kiln. Colours will become richer, and your item will have a hard shiny clear surface – which is food safe.
We need 14 days to glaze and fire (this may be longer during busy periods), and will then contact you by phone to let you know your items are ready for collection. We can also charge postage to post items to one address only.
