China Decorating Workshop
Spend a relaxing afternoon creating a uniquely decorated piece of fine bone china!
Choose your piece and collage as many images and as much text as you like from our unrivalled collection of historic and new water-slide ceramic transfers. Our experienced workshop crew will guide you through applying the transfers to create your own unique design.
The price of a workshop includes a fine bone china mug, transfers, firing and tuition. If you want to make something else, choose from a selection of other fine bone china ware (available for an additional charge on the day).
SESSION TIMES: choose between 1 – 3pm or 3.15 – 5.15pm. Please double check your booking and ensure you show up at the correct session time as spaces are limited.
COLLECTING YOUR FINISHED PIECE: the china ware needs to be fired then cooled, so you’ll be able to pick them up from our shop from the Friday after the workshop.
FAMILY FRIENDLY: children are welcome but must be supervised at all times. Suitable for ages 8+.
CANCELLATION POLICY: Refunds are available with at least 72 hours notice of cancellation – email email hidden; JavaScript is required to cancel. Booking fees are non-refundable. Our ticket vendors Headfirst also allow you to put your ticket up for resale (on sold out events), so you may be able to sell your ticket on if you’ve missed the deadline for a refund.
