Welcome to The Painted Pot, it is just one of the fantastic activities here at the Barnagh Greenway Hub.
Located directly on the Limerick greenway the Hub has a playground, bike hire, crazy golf, toilets, parking and Platform 22 Cafe offering coffee, ice-cream, delicious cakes and food as well as pizza and sweets!
The Painted Pot walk-in studio offers lots of creative, fun activities for visitors of any age and ability and fabulous Parties!!!! Choose from a huge variety of blank pottery pieces to paint with lots of stencils, glaze colours and brushes, you won't be stuck for inspiration! You could also have a go on the potter's wheel creating your very own masterpiece out of clay or make something awesome from scratch!
How does it work?
Choose an item to paint; there is a massive range to choose from, prices vary as do the sizes and options. You can paint anything from a dinosaur to a dinner plate, from a fire engine to a fairy!
Paint your own unique design onto your chosen item using non-toxic* ceramic paints or non firing paints.
Leave your work of art with me to be professionally fired in my kiln. If you chose the non firing paint you can take your art home that day. It can be heated in the oven to seal on the paint-I will give you instructions on how to do that :)
Your items will then be posted out to you when they are ready or you can collect them from the shop.
That's all there is to it! You can be proud that you have created an exclusive, personalised piece of pottery that you can keep forever or give as a gift!
Aprons are provided to help protect clothing.
The glaze that has been fired in kiln is food safe so items are suitable for everyday use.
