    This is the best pottery place I have ever been to! The staff are so kind and helpful, the paints are really great quality, lots of pottery to choose from to paint & they do incredible hot chocolates! You can also bring your own drinks and nibbles, so it is perfect for an intimate hen do or party!

    Wonderful place to have a fun activity! Wasn’t too expensive for one mug to paint! Lots of variation of colour and you get 1 and a half hours which we felt like was enough (:

  3. Lucy StopherRating: 5/5

    We had a great time at Kiln Workshop! There was a wide selection of blanks to choose from, and the 1.5 hours of painting time flew by. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and it was lovely that you could order drinks while working on your creations. Our finished pieces were ready to collect in just under two weeks and turned out beautifully. Highly recommend for a fun, relaxing activity!

    Was absolutely wonderful. Lovely place. Lots of items to choose from to paint. Would come again. Had about an hour and a half for our paint time. Could also get drinks there. Reasonable price for what your doing.

    It’s been 6 months since leaving Bristol, but I felt inclined to leave a good review. The customer service here is fantastic, I think it is much better than the other pottery painting shop across town. The lady who runs the place is suuper nice & accomodating, and does a fantastic job with the glazing. Here are a few of the pieces!
