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.

For a small Studio Fee of  just £2.75 per painter, you can choose to have it kiln fired for a lasting finish, or take home your piece on the day with acrylic paint for no additional cost.

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.
