How it works
At Kiln & Kettle, we’ve made creativity simple, soothing, and utterly delightful. Whether you’re a seasoned artist or a curious beginner, here’s how your visit unfolds:
Book Your Spot
Reserve your seat online—there’s a €15 studio fee per guest, which includes paints, glazing, and firing.
Choose What You Would Like To Paint
Upon arrival, you’ll select from a beautiful collection of ready-to-paint ceramics—think teacups, trinket dishes, vases, and more. Prices range from €15 to €60, depending on the piece.
As a guide: if you choose a medium-sized piece around €20, and fancy a slice of our homeade cake and delicious coffee (and we really think you should), you can expect to pay around €30 in total for a lovely, lingering visit.
Settle In & Paint
Each booking gives you two hours of creative time to paint, relax, and enjoy. For most guests, this is plenty — but we know that sometimes the inspiration flows slowly, or your design needs a little extra love.
On busy days, we kindly ask you to stick to the two-hour slot so everyone has a chance to paint. On quieter days, if we have space, you’re very welcome to stay a little longer. And if you don’t finish your piece, no worries at all — you can always return on another day to complete it. We’ll keep it safe for you until then.
A little tip: please arrive 10–15 minutes before your booking. This gives you time to choose your ceramic piece and get settled, so you can use your full slot for painting.
We Glaze & Fire It For You
Once your masterpiece is complete, we’ll glaze and kiln-fire it with care. Your finished piece will be ready to collect three weeks later
