To be sure we have a table reserved for you - yes please! We do take painters who arrive without a booking where we can but it's always best to book.

Please call the studio on 01825 872225 and we will be happy to help. Alternatively send a message via facebook or email info@masterpiecestudio.co.uk (info@masterpiecestudio.co.uk)although emails may not be monitored immediately.

We have so much bisque on our shelves, with new shapes arriving all the time, so we don't have a 'price list'. We always stock the basics - plates. mugs and bowls and our ranges of these are around £16 - £22. We don't charge a studio fee so prices displayed on the pottery include paint, glaze and firing.

Each booking is for a two hour session. On quieter days we can extend the time allocated.

Painters have up to six weeks to return to finish a piece on a pre-booked visit. The first return visit does not incur a studio fee, however subsequent visits are charged a £5 returning studio fee.

We take bookings by phone for after school painting, as the studio closes at 5pm time allocated will be less than two hours. During November and December after longer after school painting sessions are advertised.

Our usual 'collection from' date is ten days after the pottery is painted. Earlier collection is possible and can be agreed at the time of painting.

Your artwork will be fine and technically the pieces are dishwasher and microwave safe but we do not recommend either. The microwave will leave the pottery extremely hot to handle, the dishwasher may cause crazing after continued washes due to moisture in the clay body. The pottery is earthenware and not suitable for use in a conventional oven.

The studio is accessed by double doors. There are Disabled Parking Spaces and a drop off point a few yards from our door. We have a disabled access cloakroom. Please ask if you have any access or seating requirements and we will always be happy to help.

Yes. There is plenty of unlimited free parking on The Holmes Hill Estate.

We cannot accommodate dogs in the studio, except by appointment for Pet Paw Prints.

We ask you not to bring pushchairs or prams into the studio for safety reasons as alleys and exits have to be clear for all studio users. However you are welcome to bring younger babies in a car seat and we have highchairs for older babies and toddlers.

We serve a range of hot and cold drinks, wrapped cakes, chocolate and crisps, we ask that you do not bring your own refreshments into the studio unless it is a prearranged group or party. Happy Days Cafe is next door to us for hot food meals.

Just in case you forget to pick up your masterpieces, uncollected pottery will be kept for six months. We will call you around this time and ask you to collect within two weeks of our call.

We have a maximum of two non painters per booking / table during normal opening hours.
