Schools and Groups - Now Open on Sundays

Pottery-painting provides an exciting addition to many areas of the curriculum. Paint a piece of pottery in the style of the Romans, Greeks, Egyptians etc.... Plan a design on a computer at school as part of a technology project and then reproduce your design in the studio. Practice artistic techniques. Make a display for your school to commemorate a special event. For the little ones - hand prints with names. Have an outing just for the fun of it!

Children's Groups (Guides, Scouts, St. John Ambulance, etc...)

A trip to Doodlepots is a real hit for children's groups. We find it's easier if they all paint the same type of item eg a plate or a mug, but we're happy to let the leaders choose whatever they think is best for their particular group. If time allows, we take the children in small groups to show them what goes on behind the scenes with the glazing and firing - something they always find interesting. A free drink of squash for each child is always part of the deal, and leaders are offered a free drink also.

Doodlepots is great for school parties!
