Painting Pottery

Painting pottery is a great hobby to get into and is fast becoming one of the most exciting and creative pastimes in the UK. It involves painting, glazing and firing pieces of pottery for ornamental or household use. Cromartie supply bisque and ceramic colour to ceramic cafes, mobile studios and hobby ceramic studios, where customers can enjoy a few hours painting pottery. Cromartie are one of the leading UK suppliers to pottery painting businesses and supply products by two main manufacturers- Gare and Duncan. There are nearly 1000 bisque pieces available reading for painting such as plates, mugs, vases, childrens money boxes and collectibles, and our range is continually expanding.

Painting pottery is perfect for children's birthday parties where children and and parents alike are able to both enjoy a day out while creating a unique work of art. Pottery painting studios have been springing up in towns and cities across the UK since their introduction from the USA in the mid Nineties. They are now one of the fastest growing business opportunities in the country. Cromartie also have our own painting pottery studio based in Stoke on Trent (Paint a Pot Studio), where there is a beautiful café, play area and gift shop section, and visitors can relax for a couple of hours painting pottery.

Mobile studios are also popular with those wishing to take part in a pottery painting session from the comfort of their own home, school or workplace. All the materials and equipment are to the customers’ premises where they can spend a few enjoyable hours painting pottery. The finished work then goes back to the studio to be glazed and fired and returned to the customer in a few days. A mobile studio can be a stand-alone painting pottery business or can also run alongside a ceramic café.
