The Alabaster Jar

The Alabaster Jar is an independently run paint-your-own-pottery shop that provides a relaxing and friendly atmosphere where you can go and spend some quality time making bespoke pottery products for your home or loved ones.

They have all sorts of pottery blanks for different tastes and plenty of selection for both children and adults with pricing ranging from 50p up to £70. Also available are baby and pet imprints, parties/group packages, adult only evenings and if you don’t want to paint an item yourself or don’t feel able to do it justice then they can paint it for you.

All of their pottery is painted in glaze and fired in a kiln which makes it waterproof and fully useable.   

Simply drop into their studio, select a piece of pottery from a wide range of items. Paint your item however you like and they will fire it for you in their kiln, then pop back a week later to collect your finished creation.

There's no need to book and there is no studio fee but please ring ahead for groups of 6+
