How It Works
1. Book Your Session
Book in advance to secure a place; walk-in tables are available when possible. General painting sessions last two hours. The booking calendar lists pottery from £19, with a £5 painter deposit credited to the final bill; check the current session details.
2. Pick Your Pottery Piece
Browse the variety of pottery options and select the perfect piece to paint.
3. Paint Away!
Use the colour wheel on the wall to see how the paints will look once glazed and fired.
4. Leave Your Masterpiece to Be Fired
Once you’ve finished painting, leave your pottery with the team to be glazed and fired in their on-site kiln. The studio asks customers to allow up to three to four weeks; posting is available for an additional charge.
Relax with Coffee and Cake
Why not enjoy a delicious treat while you paint? They serve a range of freshly brewed coffee from Buxton Coffee Roasters, alongside a selection of teas and an ever-changing range of delicious homemade cakes. It’s the perfect way to unwind and make your creative session even more enjoyable.
Accessibility
The studio says it is wheelchair and pram accessible, with a lift to the space. Motorised scooters do not fit in the lift; contact the studio to discuss access.
Available to Hire: Celebrate Special Occasions

Whether you’re celebrating a little one’s birthday, a team-building event, or just a fun get-together, the studio provides an inspiring setting for memorable occasions.
A Historic Setting
Buxton Pottery Painting is located in the Cavendish Shopping Arcade, a Grade II listed building that was once home to Buxton Baths. It was converted into a shopping arcade between 1984 and 1987, featuring an impressive stained-glass ceiling designed by renowned artist Brian Clarke. The building’s rich history and stunning architecture add to the charm of this creative haven.
