Crafts at Cardew Ltd

Potty fun for all the family. Paint-throw-shop-play and eat at the UK's largest pottery playground. The pottery where you can make your own pottery.

Here's your chance to paint your own real pre-fired pottery ornaments. Choose one of our hundreds of beautiful designs and then takes as much time as you like to decorate it with our special paints and finishes and then stand back and admire your masterpiece. You can either "Paint and Go" or if you want your ornament, mug, plate or teapot glazed so it can be used functionally, "Paint and Glaze". We will then glaze fire your design to post on to you or for you to pick up a few days later.

Birthday parties and school parties (we have curriculum based programmes that are educational and fun!) are very welcome. Just contact us to pre-book your party in!
