I'd like to offer a different sort of review. I'm giving this place a 5 star rating, from the point of view of a school careers coordinator. Thank you for giving the opportunity for students learn important soft skills and for giving up your time to help support them on their career development journey.

It was really satisfying and amazing experience today. I came with my friend and sat for more than an hour. Staff was very friendly and supportive throughout the entire session. Willing to come again.

Really enjoyed our time at Pots of Art to do toddler clay prints. My daughter was a bit nervous by the new situation and clay but George and his team made sure she was comfortable and made beautiful imprints which we will treasure forever. The venue is clean and warm with very friendly staff and space for a pram which was also a bonus if you're bringing a little one! Would recommend to others!

Amazing place to come as adults or with your children! George helped us create a baby foot/hand imprint plate for our daughter and he was brilliant! So sweet with her and soo helpful. All the staff were lovely and the shop is so warm and relaxing I could have spent all day there. Be sure to check out the amazing historic wall too! Thank you very much for a brilliant day and for helping us create a special memory with our daughter

Been here a couple of times with friends and I've always had a positive experience. We've walked in without booking beforehand and the staff have always been so accommodating even when they've been packed to the brim with customers. We've even been encouraged by staff to run across the road to grab a hot drink from nearby cafés as they don't do food or drinks at the location which has been an issue at other places I've been to. Collection process has also been hassle free and they hold your items for a good amount of time. Would definitely recommend.
