20.01.2022 School holidays are nearly here. .......We are extending our hours but please still remember to book your seats in advance to avoid disappointment. www.colourmypot/time-table

19.01.2022 Lockdown means a long over due clear out of our cupboards Burried under all sorts of table cloths I've found lace pieces made by my grandmother many years ago. I'm always in awe how much time it must have taken to crochet these beautiful pieces (not to mention how much patience she had) Lace is fabulous when texturing soft clay, simply lay over a thin slab and use a rolling pin to imprint the lace. Check out this cheese board made by one of our clay customers and my lovely earrings made by Sarah. Totally love textured pieces and can't wait to use my grans lace soon too.

18.01.2022 Get a jump start on your Xmas gifts! We have some seats left for tomorrow nights adult painting session. BYO drinks and nibbles. Either book online or walk in at 6pm. https://occ.sn/i82o94uh

18.01.2022 There are so many ways to create a pretty mandala. At our event on Sept 20th we will show you a variety of techniques so you can easily produce your own uniquely decorated piece of pottery. Feel free to bring along a design if you like and we will have some pre drawn ones to colour in and templates too if the actual designing scares you. There are a few seats left and bookings are essential at: occ.sn/8hdDfqnJ

17.01.2022 Want to make some marks with us? We are having a wonderful time with clay lately and this made us dream up a new and exciting class that we think our customers will love as well. We're calling it a "Clay Coaster Carving" and below is an outline of the adult only night time event:... * Each participant will be given 4 handmade leather hard clay tiles (either round or square) which are approx. 10cm. Leather hard is the technical term for clay that is hard to bend and soft enough to be carved. * We will provide you with tools to make your marks and amazingly the simplest tools seem to make the loveliest patterns! Feel free to bring your own favourite carving tools or something that you think might make great indents. * There will also be designs on hand to copy or bring your own design. So all you have to do is turn up (with or without friends BYO drinks and nibbles if you wish) and we will show you the rest. We are really quite taken with this form of clay work and think this is one of the most relaxing ways to spend a few hours. Price: $85pp includes 4 coasters (please state round or square when booking), tuition, firing and once fired customers can return and paint them with our colours ready for the second glaze firing. Alternatively, you can leave them unpainted and we will dip them in our clear glaze and they come up a treat with the natural creamy colour of the clay. The hardest thing is to work out if you prefer straight lines, round mandala style patterns or just free handing it like our swirly one... we'll leave that up to you! https://occ.sn/zd3mWVxG Limited seating so bookings are essential. #clayclasses #events

01.01.2022 We all agree that one of the best jobs at CMP is opening our kilns Boris and Big Bertha. Seeing all your finished, super shiny creations for the first time never gets boring. In this video Boris is not particularly full..... sometimes pieces are only a few mms apart...... but it still shows you why we find this job so exciting.
