No, we are walk-ins for groups less than 8.

However we can reserve tables for smaller groups, but only for a limited time during busy periods

If you are a group of 8+ or to reserve a table please email: thepottersden.info@gmail.com

All pots are ready to collect within 7-10 days, *unless specified during busy periods

We won’t contact you when your pottery is ready, please refer to your collection form.

Yes! We have a range of drinks and snacks available for you while you paint.

Look out for our bring your own booze evenings!

Our pots range from £8 - £45 which also includes the firing, glazing etc. Therefore it just depends on what pot you chose to paint.

No extra studio fee!

At the end of your session you will be given a collection form to keep or take a photo of,

this has the date for when your pots are ready to collect written on it,

(we do not contact you when your pots are ready).

From any time on or after that date (within 2 months) just pop in! Show us your collection form or photo of it and your pots will be handed (carefully) over!

We recommend bringing your own strong bag when collecting larger pots.

Due to storage, we can only keep pots painted for 2 months, after this time they will be recycled.

Yes a perfect keepsake!

The paints are all non-toxic and easily washable, so wet wipes will do!

Footprints are usually easier with the darker colours working best to make the prints stand out! Handprints are known for being more difficult as babies prefer to curl up their little hands!

Weekdays are quieter and we’re more available to help if needed as weekends or holidays can be busy, however we will always try our best to help, so please don’t hesitate to ask!

Please Note: we are short on space on the ground floor so pushchairs can sometimes be a squeeze, therefore if possible please use a carrier.

Our parties/group bookings start at a minimum of 8 people.

For more information please see our Parties Page

We are a small business in the heart of Holmfirth, run since 2004. We value the relaxation and mindfulness pottery painting brings and therefore have no booking system in order to keep your sessions time limit free! So no last minute panicked painting!

We also offer the chance to come back another day if you haven’t completed your painting!

Yes, we can post your painted pots. Packing and postage starts from £5.

Although unfortunately we are unable to post internationally.

Your pot is left to dry fully before being wrapped safely and taken to the kiln.

Next your pot is dipped carefully into a clear non toxic top glaze and is then left to dry again.

Once fully dry your pot is checked and made smooth, then loaded into the kiln… Many hours later out it comes shiny, extra colorful, waterproof and finished!

We wouldn’t recommend it if you want to make sure it lasts as long as possible, hand washing is a lot gentler on your painted pot.

However they are totally safe to eat or drink from!

Yes! The perfect gift! Available in the studio!

Children under 12 must be accompanied by a responsible adult at all times.

Our building is a very old Grade II listed cottage, therefore accessibility is limited with 2 stairs to get to the front entrance.

Although we have had wheelchair users paint with us in the past, we wouldn’t consider ourselves wheelchair accessible.

We love all kinds of animals at Potters Den, as you might tell from our animal range!

However our ground floor is sometimes tight on space at busy times, although we understand you know your pet best and how suited they’ll be to a pottery studio so quieter weekdays may work better!

Why not print their paw on a pot!🐾

If you enjoyed your time painting with us, you can help us by,

telling a friend, following us on socials, sharing a picture on social media (tag us/give us a mention, we love seeing happy potters!) or if you’re feeling extra generous leave us a kind review on Google or TripAdvisor, whatever’s easiest for you!

Any support is sooo appreciated as we really value each and every person that walks through our door and understands the value of our creative space in Holmfirth 💗

Pottery Painting for all is our slogan! From babies to grandparents we don’t discriminate, there’s no age limit on creativity.

Unfortunately not as we can only fire pots painted in our studio.
