This tile picture was painted by a Leicestershire Scout district on their spring camp. We sketched the church and Gateway on from photos of their camp site. Then Scouts of all ages at the camp painted a tile. Each pack choose a leaf to do a stamp on their pack tile which makes up the border. The D.C. wrote a message on the tile at the bottom of the ‘frame’. This picture now sits on the wall in the church features in the picture.
At the session;
- We provide all the necessary materials
- Demonstrate how to do the activity for the session
- We assist the young people as they do the activity
- Leaders / helpers are required to supervise the group
- After attending the art session each young person will have an individual work of art
- Each session lasts approximately 1 to 1.5 hours depending on age
FREE Gift to your group – each group will receive a commemorative plate as a thank you and a reminder of the fun you all had together. All present at the activity session will sign the plate and we paint your group logo and name on it too.
An example of the Gift plate from us to a Beavers group along side their bedroom door name plates – all very unique!
How to Book and Prices
To book please contact us
Pottery painting
This starts at £12 pp for 12 painters or more. This prices would give your group a choice of one from; a Mug, a Bowl, a Name plate or a beaker to choose from or a small plant pot. Assuming the whole group paint the same item. Christmas shaped items are available for Christmas sessions or other themed items are possible
Clay sessions
This is using fired clay and is £25pp which requires 2 sessions: one for making the item and then we have to let it dry and then fire it. After which you can return at 2 weeks after the making session to do the painting session. If the item created is straight forward and does not have fiddly bits on it. We can then look at reducing the visit to one session and painting it at the same time but this does make the session much longer. Younger children struggle with concentration doing a longer session so please give this consideration.
The cost does not change with one visit.
We are happy to work with a theme or different suggestion on the item and can advise on price depending on the item required.

What Our Customers Say
Each time our pack visits Jane and co we find that Brownies who have never tried pottery painting before are excited to learn a new skill and those Brownies and Guides (and Leaders!) who are becoming seasoned pottery painters are always eager to develop their skills and learn new techniques.
However, the Brownies and Guides would all tell you that the very best part is opening their individually wrapped masterpieces a week later and finding out how even what they thought were mistakes are a unique piece of art when it has been “Fired 4 U”!
