The Clay Studio

I come to the studio weekly with friends and family and find it a really enjoyable and relaxing experience. I have been able to make some amazing projects and I have taken part in many of the workshops. The staff are always friendly and helpful. The product range is fantastic and caters to all budgets

I went with my daughter I am very unwell and I wanted to do something nice with her. Martin was lovely and so kind and I was really pleased with my dragon egg . She made a skull mug which turned out very well. Such a lovely evening

Since the new person took over the quality of service has been very poor, my sessions were cancelled twice in two weeks and the lady very rude. I'd rather go to Bournemouth if you want a friendly and reliable experience.

This is a wonderful creative and very relaxing experience. We painted our own Christmas trees ( tea light holders) lanterns, bowls, plates and gingerbread tea light house and a mug! Lots of fun and the staff could not do enough for us all. Even opened up for us so we could collect the items for Christmas! ( we missed the collection deadline!) A wonderful family experience. Great for a party with or without children! In fact we are returning to make our garden lights without the children! Thank you all! Delicious refreshments and cake too! Merry Christmas!

Wanted to say what a great place this is. I took my niece and we had a great experience. We were made to feel very welcome and the owner spent time with us showing us how it all worked. We got a free mince pie and we enjoyed painting in a wonderful environment. I would highly recommend a visit .

I took a friend of mine for her birthday to the clay studio and we had such a wonderful time! The atmosphere is great, we sat and had a coffee and a lovely afternoon painting and it was incredibly relaxing and a lot of fun. The owner of the studio was very helpful and engaging and gave us some great tips on how to paint our little bits and pieces. I’d highly recommend it as something very different and we will definitely go back and do it again in the new year xx

My grand-dad has been suffering from dementia for a couple of years, when he was well he used to enjoy painting but has gradually lost the drive and interest since his decline. We wanted to give him the opportunity to rekindle his love of art and thought the Clay Studio might be a good place to start. We were served by the owner, who we understand has recently taken over the business, she was amazing with grand-dad. Joannah was very patient with him and showed a real insight into the issues surrounding his condition. We were offered a huge selection of pottery for him to paint and it was quite moving for us to see echos of his old self emerge whilst he decorated a Christmas decoration. We cannot thank the Clay Studio enough for providing this wonderfully inclusive environment and would definitely recommend this activity to any one who has an elderly relative/friend especially if they have dementia.

I’ve been to the clay studio a couple of times now since it’s been taken over and myself and my 2 boys (3 and 1) loved it. The staff are really friendly and very helpful, we will definitely go back!
