All workshop staff are enhanced DBS checked, and the gallery follows full safeguarding and health & safety policies to ensure your child’s wellbeing. Parents are welcome to stay in the gallery if they prefer, or can take a well-deserved break and enjoy one of the many nearby cafés and restaurants in Brighton’s historic Lanes while their child enjoys focused creative time. The session costs just £18 per child, providing affordable access to creativity and a chance for your child to develop confidence, imagination, and hands-on artistic skills. This workshop is the perfect way for children to immerse themselves in clay, enjoy the process of making, and create with guidance in a friendly, professional environment. Firing You can either choose to fire your pottery (just £5 per person) or take away your pottery. If you choose to fire, this enables you to return and glaze your ceramics. Firing typically takes 4-6 weeks. You must collect fired pieces within 60 days, as we cannot guarantee your piece will be in the gallery space, due to our storage capacity.
