Pottery Studio

Paint, Create, Take Home a Masterpiece

Welcome to Poole Park Pottery

Whether you’re looking for a mindful solo activity, a family day out, or something fun and creative with friends, our pottery painting studio offers a relaxing space where everyone can unleash their inner artist – all at excellent value from just £8.95.

Nestled inside The Ark, our bright and welcoming studio is filled with shelves of blank pottery waiting to be transformed into one-of-a-kind creations. Choose from a wide range of pottery pieces – mugs, plates, animal figurines, plant pots, seasonal decorations, and more – with something to suit every taste, age, and occasion.

At just £8.95, you get to paint your pottery and choose whether to have it kiln fired for a lasting finish or take home your piece on the day with acrylic paint. And unlike everyone else, we charge NO STUDIO FEE! (Yes, you read that right – no per person studio fee, making us the best value around.)

Whether you’re a first-timer or a seasoned painter, our friendly team is here to help. We’ll guide you through the process, provide all materials, and share tips and inspiration to bring your vision to life.
