Painting Pots Knaresborough

Painting Pots Knaresborough Painting Pots is a fun, relaxed, friendly pottery painting and craft studio in the town centre of Knaresborough. All ages and abilities are very welcome.

We also host parties, demos, workshops and community programmes. Commissions are also welcome. In a nut shell Painting Pots is a place you can come no matter how old you are to do some ceramic painting to keep forever. Here you can design anything! A tile, a small animal, a mug for dad, or a keepsake plate with hand or foot prints of your little ones for mum or granny. Pop into our Castlegate studio Wednesday to Saturday 10am - 5pm and choose from our selection of bisque wear and start to paint. Then leave it with us and in 10 days your master piece will be ready for collection (items can be posted at an extra cost).

You know when you desperately need to do something… and then life takes over and then the task appears massive so then you struggle to do said task?!
…That’s been me this week with updating social media- which lets face it, is a massive part of owning a business these days!!

So I’ve had a word with myself and im here updating!!!

Please interact with Painting Pots Socials (Facebook, insta and TikTok!) as my reach is going to be non existent!!

Anyhoo

I’m in the studio today 11-4pm!!

There are no parties or events today so feel free to drop in and see all our Halloween stock, and what came on this massive delivery this week!!

We can’t just unload a delivery…. We get excited, chat through which item we want to paint/make/create first, decide the best place to put them in the shelves…… now and then we play a daft game with them!!!!!!

Last night I took the Painting Pots team to the circus!

A little treat to say thankyou for all their hard work over the summer, and one last get together before they all disappear off to the next chapter of their lives… university, gap years, MA’s and college.

I gave them bracelets made by Elsie (more on Elsie and her bracelets tomorrow!)

We worked out our winners of our summer customer awards (more on that tonight!)

We chatted about Mumbler awards! Who will be glamming up and joining me! (Have you voted yet?!)

…and then of course we whooped, squealed, ate candy floss and popcorn, cheered, laughed and watched ( and hid) behind our fingers!

Thanks girls, your work Mamma loves ya!!!

3 days back at school after 7 weeks…. And I’ve already had a call to go and pick up my poorly child…..

Studio will be closed this afternoon.
Apologies for any inconvenience caused.

We had a few painters in yesterday for a ‘last treat before starting school’ as well as a ‘celebration for doing so well on their first morning’…..

What treat or celebration do you need today and why do you need it?!

I might paint something today- I never get to paint - of course it will be for the shelves! But it would be a treat for me!

I’ve got so many awesome things on th shelves at the moment too! Check out these huge, gorgeous butterfly lanterns we’ve got in! So super pretty!

I heard on the radio yesterday that September is becoming like January in terms of it being a time for making changes, resolutions, goal setting and looking for a fresh start.

I think I’ve always thought a little like this….. when we were younger - it was a new pencil case and school bag time, a new academic Diary and fresh stationary.

If you have kids still at school/college/university or maybe you work in an industry when September is Month 1 then you’ll get it!!

So ….. any one else think like this? Have any changes to make or goals to set this month?!

I think I’m in a place where I want to think a little more about self care… for my body and mind. Taking time out and welcoming an hour or two of peace (amongst my chaos) once in a while…

Check out ADA’s awesome slime ‘window’….. one of our Slime Olympic challenges during our Slime party!

Did you know we’ve been hosting Slime parties and workshops for SEVEN years….

I reckon we’ve made enough slime to fill……. A small swimming pool?? Certainly a hot tub…..

Oh god can you imagine that!!!🤣🤣🤣

Book your party with us…… and keep your eyes peeled for Halloween slime workshops!!!

….. and breathe!

Child one has gone off to her third day at college, child two delivered to school, summer hols over….

Today is the first day in ages where my brain can stretch its legs….do you know what I mean?! Like…… I can start to think about what the next few months looks like, I can dream up workshops and daft reels and Tik Toks….i can even….. maybe…. read a little of my book!

I have found myself in Baltzersen's Harrogate…. With a coffee, slice of banana bread, my book and diary…..

So any requests for workshops, parties, events?!

It’s an early start for me today in the studio as we have a SLIME party this morning! …then bookings afterwards, while the rest of the family are off to Dacre Banks for a fun day!
