Paint in your garden, in the pub, in the park, at the beach, in your office, or anywhere else you can think of with our Takeaway Painting Kits! Born in lockdown, improved over time and now utterly awesome, our Takeaway Painting Kits mean you can bring pottery painting home with you or even host a gathering for friends.
You can buy ready made kits on our website and pick your paint colours or if you want to host a few people, or even have a party, we can supply our Takeaway Box Kits which have a full set of paints, brushes and pallets, plus instructions and a colour change tile on a weekly hire. Then you can pick your ceramics from our entire stock and get painting. Bring the back to us, we will glaze them and fire them and then you can use them in any way you wish.
Obviously, we love to see you in the cafe, but as it is a portable craft then why not set up a blanket in the shade and get your craft on. It means you can take as much time as you need in a location of your choosing - right now sat in front of a fan with your feet in a paddling pool feels living the dream!

The sun is out again and the flowers are blooming so here is a selection of lovely floral mugs which have been painted in the cafe recently by very clever customers. Flower ceramics always work so well because you get to use all the brightest colours and you can make them as simple or as intricate as you like. Either way they always look fabulous. We’ve also got flower shaped plates and bowls in stock too so you can paint your own petals or just use the shape as inspiration for your own unique design - these do go quickly though so grab them while you can! I’ve never been much of a gardener, but this year I am attempting to grow dahlias this year and, snails aside, they seem to be going well. My peony hasn’t produced a single stem though and the season doesn’t last long, so if anyone wants to buy me a bunch to make up for it please do feel free!

Father’s Day is fast approaching and we are knee deep in baby hand and footprints at the shop and couldn’t be happier. So many cute babies! There is still plenty of time to get your gifts made so you can come to the cafe and we will give you as much or as little help as you would like to get the perfect prints. We can even give a hand with writing - although you are more than welcome to do it yourself too. Our paints are non-toxic so kind on skin and wash out of clothes and even if they shove a paint covered hand in their mouth it will just taste a little chalky. If you are a group and would like to come in just get in touch and you can also get Takeaway Painting Kits if you would prefer to do it at your leisure at home. I also highly recommend doing some prints for yourself too as they grow so fast and their hands and feet are so sweet when they are little (it’s not as cute when they shove their stinking size 8s in your face, let me tell you), then you always have a reminder of how tiny they once were and how far you have all come.

Imitation is the greatest form of flattery and, while I don’t always agree with that, I do when it comes to people recreating their favourite artists on our ceramics. For example take a look at these excellent Jean-Michel Basquiat inspired mugs painted in the cafe. They are so good and I’m sure the artist would approve. We get a lot of Van Gogh in the cafe, the occasional Mondrian and a few Clarice Cliff (for all you true ceramics fans or people who watch Bargain Hunt) and they are all marvellous and deserve their own gallery space.
Don’t forget it doesn’t matter if you don’t feel like you can recreate a masterpiece, there are lots of artists that didn’t go for detail. My personal favourite is making a good old mess like Jackson Po***ck with underglaze and a toothbrush, I’ve seen a few toddlers have a good go at doing a Rothko and I do have a Keith Harring mug on my endless list of ceramics I want to paint. So come to the cafe, unleash the inner artist (no matter how hard they are hiding) and create a ceramic you could hang on your wall (or eat your dinner off!)

Hey there hot stuff! Not sure if that is how I should be greeting you, our lovely followers, but this plate definitely deserves a slightly spicy round of applause. These rectangular plates have proved super popular since they arrived on our shelves and I think they are a great example of how one item can be painted in lots of different ways. We’ve got fancy tomatoes that feel like a plate you could definitely buy from a fancy shop and baby footprints walking up the plates looking super cute. We’ve also got a cheeky little crab and a whole host of other designs that will all look lovely in their new homes. I’ve even gone on Canva to make this post prettier (and also because they may be lovely but rectangular plates and Instagram squares are not friends!) to offer a little inspiration for your next visit to the cafe!

They say never meet your heroes, but I was not disappointed to have come across this excellent Lisa Simpson mug painted by a clever customer in the cafe. It is SO good and I definitely want to keep it (but obviously will not as that would be terrible for business). We get lots of cartoon / anime characters painted in the cafe and they are always good - nothing beats making your own merch. It also means if a friend has a niche interest you can create a perfectly personalised present for them that they will treasure forever. Or paint your own favourite niche interest - you deserve it! It’s lovely and calm during the week in the cafe at the moment, so an ideal time to come in and treat yourself to a spot of pottery painting. And cake. You definitely deserve cake. Lisa would approve.

It’s Monday so, depending on your start of the week / post Easter holiday mood, here we have a lovely little Moomin mug that’s all sweetness and light and then a Batman Mug, which is dark and brooding. I like the idea of painting mugs to match your mood so people can tell, when you are sipping your Monday morning caffeine, whether they should approach for a chat or stay as far away as possible. So, if you would like to paint something twee and full of whimsy, or if you want to go gothic or moody then we have the blank ceramics and whole spectrum of paints so you can create the pottery your heart desires.
Side note: While writing this caption I have just realised that Moomins and Batman are two of our eldest’s favourite things. She didn’t paint either of these, they were done by clever customers, but I have a feeling she was the one who took the pictures and, frankly, I’m surprised she didn’t steal them.

If you’ve got a passion for fruit (see what I did there) then take a look at this gorgeous pomegranate inspired plate painted in the cafe. It’s so bold and beautiful and looks like something you could buy in a shop for a very high price tag. As it now seems to be the done thing that you can’t just post one lovely picture at a time, I had a quick scan through the archives (that’s the 31,164 pictures on my phone - I wish I was exaggerating) and found these other beautiful fruit themed plates which have been painted in the cafe and are definitely worth taking another look at. I know for a fact we’ve had some excellent blueberry mugs, peach plates and more watermelon bowls than you can shake a gooseberry at painted in the cafe recently and I highly recommend you do the same! Half term is on the horizon so if you want to come to the cafe and paint some ceramics over Easter do give us a call and book a spot. I’ll get Tim to do some Easter themed baking too!

Just like the Vengaboys, we like to party. At the cafe we offer celebrations for all occasions. It’s not just children’s parties - although they are always very good fun - but hen parties, baby showers, adult birthday parties, retirements and all sorts of work dos too. We had a lovely baby shower in recently who said we could share their photos so here they are! They painted some fantastic ceramics and Tim served up one of our afternoon teas that come with sandwiches, all shapes and sizes of cakes (the ones seen here are particularly MASSIVE) not to mention homemade scones with lashings of cream and jam. We do put on a good spread, even if I do say so myself, Tim even bakes the bread rolls and it is all served on pretty vintage china. If you’re a group we have a few catering options to choose from and we have lots of packages for painting. But what if there are too many of you to fit in the cafe, I hear you say. Well, we can come to your venue (minus the catering) and host a session for you. Want to do it in the comfort of your own home? We can create a bespoke Takeaway Kit and you can grab a cake to take with you if you fancy! Basically pottery painting and cake make a great party so give us a shout and we can make it happen!
