Family Ceramic Imprints
Customised Creations
Make your memories timeless with ceramic Imprints. An impression of a hand, foot or paw is made into clay as soft as butter, then it is shaped, dried and fired in my Kiln, hand painted by me and re-fired in the kiln for a second time, before setting into a custom made frame or strung with a beautiful ribbon for hanging.

Verna Goff
Pottery Painting
“What a fantastic afternoon we had here. Myself and my 2 children (6&8) chose something to paint from a great selection of beautiful pottery. We spent the afternoon then painting and chatting and had such a lovely relaxing afternoon. Laura was so welcoming and explained the process to us. I would 100% recommend it if you want to do something fun, relaxing and make super memories. Thanks so much to all at Make & Mould. Looking forward to going back again and trying out some more of the activities that are available.”
Dagmar Moser
Pottery Day experience
“I got the course as a present. Never was I more delighted about a present before. The team is so friendly and helpful that everyone on the course got to take home a usable piece of art. If you think you are not talented enough forget that right away. There are templates available and you’ll get the help you need. I made my own butterdish, sugar bowl with spoon and 2 more bowls. I had a fantastic day and Florence & Milly definitely is my new happy place and i want to go back for another session. All in all an awesome value for your money.”
Isabel O’Connor
Wheelthrowing
“Myself and my daughter had a lovely few hours here today. the atmosphere in the studio is lovely and there are so many things to do. We had absolutely no experience but I’ve always wanted to try wheelthrowing. Laura is so calm and knowledgeable and made us feel at ease. I made a bowl and my daughter made a plate. We are looking forward to coming back to paint our pottery when they are fired. Well worth a visit and the staff are so friendly and helpful.”
