A lovely, crafty gem in the heart of Otley. Laura is so warm, welcoming, and full of enthusiasm, it’s impossible to not feel inspired! Whether you go with friends or bring your children along, you're sure to have a wonderful time. Highly recommend!
Robert Saville
What a great place. Went as a family of 6 (4 grown up kids 😁 and 2 adults) and was a lovely afternoon. Loads of choice of things to paint and plenty of paint and brushes and all that stuff. Staff were lovely and explained everything really well and made the experience even better. They serve drinks and snacks too 🤩. Would definitely recommend going here to enjoy a couple of hours doing really fun stuff and you end up with a nice plate, candle holder, bowl or ceramic chicken etc as well 🌟
Leah Walker
We had the best time painting pottery here, such a cozy environment, and the owner was absolutely lovely and super helpful. Would definitely recommend for a fun activity with adults or kids!
