Tips & Advice

  • Book your craft studio experience online in advance to secure your spot, especially during peak times or holidays.
  • Wear clothing you don't mind getting a little messy, as you'll be working with paints and glazes.
  • Allow extra time to explore the Denby shops and enjoy refreshments before or after your creative session.
  • If you're painting Denby ceramics to be fired, plan a return visit or arrange for postage, as collection takes 3-4 weeks.
  • Check the specific opening hours for the Craft Studio, as they can vary between school holidays and term time, and are closed on Mondays during term time.

Special Events & Promotions

  • Special price of £10 for 'cosy' mug painting (usually £13.95).
