Hobbycraft ceramics is an up and coming pottery painting hobby. Usually, customers will visit a clay café (otherwise known as contemporary art sudios or ceramic cafes), pick out items of fancy, anything from basic plate designs to ornate statuettes and clay animals. The café owner provides the paints and glazes and usually a raft of design ideas and technique advice and the customer can enjoy a relaxing hour or more painting their item whilst enjoying a friendly atmosphere, a coffee and chat!

 

Clay cafes are especially suitable for parties, adult and childrens and the hobbycraft ceramics industry has grown beyond all expectation as people have enjoyed the concept and gone back for more! Possibly most of the hobbycraft ceramics cafes and studios have started as a result of what started out as a quick visit to an existing hobbycraft ceramics outlet and the interest it generated. Cromartie offer business advice to anyone interested in starting their own café or studio – even mobile studios and have training rooms available at their plant in Stoke on Trent.

 

In fact Cromartie run regular training sessions at their very own studio, ‘Pant a Pot Studio’ and host parties and other events throughout the year. If you are interested to learn more just give us a call, we are here to help.
