Can I USE my Finished Pottery?

Yes, once the item has been glazed and fired it can be used like other plates you may own. If you choose a speciality glaze that is not food safe (usually a glaze that crackles) we will advise you accordingly.
 

Can I but my Plate in the dishwasher?

We do not recommend it in case it knocks on another item and chips. There is a small risk of high pressure water effecting the glaze.
 

Can I Microwave my mug?

Please be warned that if you microwave a plate/mug it will become extremely hot as it is not a stoneware item.

The colour I have painted looks PASTEL?

The underglazes do their magic in the kiln; they will change and become brighter. The colour will vary depending on how many layers you paint.
 

Can I mix the colours?

You can, but if you are painting a range of items make sure you have precise measurements or make up a batch so you can guarantee the colour is produced.
 

Can I use my own paint?

The items can be painted with acrylics, inks, paper, foam clay and many other mediums, however, the items will not be waterproof or food safe. Please note we only fire items that have been painted with OUR underglazes.

Click & Collect pick up/Drop off?

Items ordered on-line can be collected from the studio in Hawkhurst at a pre-arranged time or we can offer drop off along our routes home.

do you deliver pottery?

We can offer drop off to those along our route home from the studio. We can send items by post/courier but please note that due to the nature of the pottery we are unable to accept responsibility for the breakages of any items once they leave our care.

CAN I BRING MY DOG?

Yes, if you are coming for a keepsake session. Unfortunately because of the wildfowl at the Fish Farm, dogs are not permitted on the farm or in the studio at any other time.
