Decorate At Home Packs available via click & collect service! Full details below
Opening Hours:
Re-opening on Thursday 3rd December.
See below for full details of Christmas opening hours.
We are delighted to be able to open our door on Thursday 3rd December and offer studio sessions once again. We will of course continue to operate in a covid-secure manner, asking visitors to wear a face covering when entering and moving around the studio (coverings may be removed while you are at your table), along with hand sanitising and temperature checks upon arrival.
All session start times will continue to be staggered, to ensure visitors are safely at their table painting before the next session participants are moving around the studio selecting pottery. We do ask that you respect the tier 2 rules and only visit with members of your support bubble or household.
Due to the rather compact nature of the studio, sessions are rather limited. We therefore, kindly ask that you book a session in advance to assist with the keeping everyone safe and to avoid disappointment.
We do also respectfully request that if you are experiencing any of the symptoms associated with Covid-19, that you refrain from visiting. We will be delighted to re-arrange sessions when you are fighting fit again.
We are offering some additional opening hours during December. Decorate at Home packs remain available and may be purchased either via our online shop or by dropping into the studio where packs will be made while you wait.
As always, we thank you all so much for your continued support during this strange and confusing time.
Gaynor – Owner, Kilnwood Studio
When you arrive at the studio we will welcome you in, show you to a table and get you settled.
Whilst we love you to just pop in, weekends and school holidays do get very busy. Therefore giving us a call to book a space will ensure that you're not disappointed.
Browse our wide selection of pottery and choose the item(s) you'd like to paint.
Items are then wiped with a damp sponge to remove any dust and allow for the glaze to stick beautifully to your piece.
The lid of each paint pot displays the finished glaze colour. We suggest 3 coats to get to this level of colour. if you'd like a more washed look, simply apply less coats. We also have handy plates on each table displaying the finished colours and corresponding pot numbers to make them easy to find.
You're ready to get painting! We have lots of tools and tricks to help you paint your masterpiece, so feel free to ask if there is something you need. There is no set session time, take as long as you like - creativity can't be rushed!
Once you've finished painting, leave your pottery with us. We will glaze and fire your work in our on-site kiln. This will ensure items are made food and dishwasher safe. It also makes them look beautiful and shiny!
When your pottery is ready for collection we will send you a text or give you a call to let you know. Typically this is around a week after your painting session.
We will look after your pottery until you are able come back at your convenience to collect your finished piece.
