Hands-On Art Adventures

Been going here for over 10 years since the kids were toddlers, even though we live further now. There are other pottery painting places in our area but we all love going to Hands-on Art. The owner is always so welcoming and she and her staff are always helpful and encouraging to the young artists that visit there. Would definitely recommend.

Having chosen our pieces we were very well briefed on the tool/paints provided and given good advice on how to not totally mess up our crockery. Want tea? No problem. Coffee? Sorted.

We arrived and before we even entered.....a beautiful birthday sign in the shop front with my daughter's name!

Janet was very nice and explained things thoroughly and was very helpful when we needed anything. Would definitely recommend! Easy enough to get to by bus from the uni:)

We have been to a birthday party here. The idea and the activity is really good. It was a really nice birthday party for a 5 year old. I am sorry to say it but the host needs to try to be nicer. It was a children's party. It was no need to be rude. For most of the adults was the first time being in a pottery shop. We didn't know they had to sit at all times and what kind of coffee you have. Just an advice try to say it nicer for example if someone asks 'can I have an expresso please?' instead...
