Did you know it’s only 8 weekends to Christmas!?!
Yes a bit of a shock to us too, because not only have we been planning a festive workshop schedule for you, we’re also in the middle of moving home! Only four doors down the road, so still in central Market Harborough, but nestled in the fabulous setting of The Village where not only can you sit and paint pottery, have fun making with clay and creating keepsakes with a delicious piece of cake and hot drinks (or something from the bar), you can also browse a lovely selection of sustainable food and non-food gifts. We’re super excited to be joining The Village community and look forward to expanding our offer next year contributing to the creative health and happiness of Market Harborough for some time to come! Come and check our new home out from Sat 4th Nov - booking times are the same as usual - Tues - Sat 10am or 2pm sessions - book by emailing claire@thepaintpottle.co.uk.
Our move in numbers so far
- 15 units or shelves
- 12 tables
- 30 chairs
- 800 pieces of pottery
- 1 amazing Dad
- 2 super friends
- 2 brilliant electricians/kiln movers
- 1 speedy decorator
- 1 frazzled Claire
- over 100 brushes
- 30 bottles of paint
- 2 large glaze buckets
- 50,000 steps
- And we were still firing over 40 pumpkin tealights and 20 Christmas footprints…
- And the old shop isn’t empty yet!
Check out our Christmas workshop schedule. Throughout November and December you can visit us to create unique gifts and keepsakes. We’ll have a large range of festive pottery as well as all our usual practical and decorative pieces to choose from. And this year, we’re taking advantage of The Village’s late night opening on Thursdays to offer you the chance to paint your pottery with a pizza and prosecco. We’ve also planned some guided ceramic and painting workshops for you aimed at all skill levels - take a look at the schedule and try something a little different! Book in by emailing claire@thepaintpottle.co.uk
LAST DAY FOR PAINTING FOR GUARANTEED CHRISTMAS DELIVERY IS TUESDAY 12TH DECEMBER
