About

Jeans Craft room is a small shop at 23 North Hill. Started in October 2023, we are concentrating on pottery painting for the time being. Customers book a table (email, telephone or facebook message) for a 2 hour painting slot. When they arrive they are shown to the table and introduced to the ceramic items we have for sale. There is no studio fee, glazing or firing fee and prices, which are clearly marked on the shelves, start at £10 for a medium sized character or animal. Dinosaurs, coin banks, football, pug, elephant to name a few start at £12. Other key items include medium plate £15, standard mug £15, large mug £20, Cup and saucer £25, Large teapot £25. Various sized vases are from £20, Gruffalo cookie jar £32, large piggy bank £28. Clocks are popular at the moment and large clock face is £25 which includes the hands.

We give everyone general guidance/ instructions on the paints and supply a variety of brushes, sponges and pens to use. Once decorated the customer leaves their painted ceramics with us for a week to 10 days so we can glaze and fire them. Once ready to collect, we contact them via email or message and they come and collect.
