Independent paint-your-own pottery studio on Hatter Street in Bury St Edmunds' historic centre, opposite Abbeygate Cinema. Choose from a large selection of pottery (practical items and ornaments), paint it in a 2-hour studio slot, and collect your glazed and fired piece up to two weeks later. A much-loved destination for children and adults alike, with table bookings, kids' parties, guided painting, independent painting and baby hand & footprints. Hot and cold drinks and snacks available while you paint.

- Which ages would enjoy this most?
- The studio welcomes babies, toddlers, preschoolers and junior-aged children. Activities include independent painting, guided painting, and baby hand and footprints sessions.
- How long should we allow for a visit?
