Clay Café’s wide selection of ready-to-paint pottery includes Christmas ornaments, holiday-themed dishes, photo frames, vases, candle holders, coffee mugs, teacups, money banks, and much, much more.
Pottery painting is perfect for all ages and is both easy and fun – no experience necessary. Prices vary according to the size of the piece, with most pieces priced between €8 and €18. Once pieces are painted they are glazed, fired in the Clay Café kiln, and ready for collection a few days later.
“Pottery painting is easy to do and allows you to create a gift that is unique and shows a great deal of thought,” says Deborah Murphy, co-owner of Clay Café. “Once the pieces have been glazed and fired in our kiln they are permanent, food safe, and look great.”
Pottery painting is easy to learn and Clay Café staff are always on hand to offer suggestions. Clay Café’s various art books and tools (such as etchers, sponges, and carbon paper ) can be used to help create something that is as simple or as complicated as you wish.
“No experience or artistic ability is necessary,” emphasises Murphy. “At the recent Clay Café ladies’ night most of the participants had never painted before. They all enjoyed themselves and created pieces that look great.”
Or for a gift that is always the right size and colour, Clay Café gift vouchers can be used towards pottery painting, food, or both. Gift vouchers are appreciated by children and adults alike and are great for that special someone who is tricky to shop for.
