This is a fun activity in Salford. , Manchester

Ready to unwind? Visit our painting space for this pot painting class in Manchester, where you can come and decorate your own chosen pieces of eco-resin homeware! Choose two items from plant pots, trinket trays, trinket pots, and seasonal decorations.

You'll arrive in our painting space, much like a pottery cafe (but eco-resin rather than pottery!), where you will be seated in your group at a table. You're able to go and choose two pieces to paint in our selection of homewares, and your ticket includes all the paints and accessories you'll need to decorate them both. You'll have two hours to enjoy your painting session!

This is a little different than pottery painting, as your homewares are made from eco-resin and don't need to be fired after you've painted them; once the paint is dry, you can use them at home right away! (Please note, finished creations need to be treated with care as they're hand-painted).

Please note the following:

- This is NOT pottery, as such as not food-safe or waterproof by default. We have optional gloss kits to purchase (+£2) at our shop that makes the items waterproof. Bags are available to purchase at our shop, you can avoid this by bringing your own bag - we recommend that to save money and the planet!

- You must arrive at the start of your session time; otherwise, you won't be given your full 2-hour slot.

- Everyone who enters the Paint & Chill space must have a ticket, we don't have space for anyone without a ticket to accompany you.

- Tickets can not be shared between two people, each person must have their own ticket.

- There is a maximum of 2 children allowed per adult; children cannot be left alone at any time, their adult must remain with them at all times. The minimum age is 12 years old. Please don't be offended if we ask to verify the age of your children, our insurance requires us to make sure everyone is the right age to have a good crafty time!

- You will be sat within your booking group, so please be aware if you book alone, you may be seated alone if no other guests have booked onto your time slot.

- You can also purchase additional homewares on the day if you'd like to paint more than two.

- While you're with us, you're able to order hot drinks (at an extra charge) from the neighbouring coffee shop. We don't allow you to bring any food in that hasn't been purchased from the coffee shop.

- You'll have gloves at your disposal to prevent any mess.

- You can leave your piece with us to dry (you have up to 2 weeks to collect) or you can take it home immediately!

- We are a shop open to the public. There may be other painting groups within your time slot or other workshops happening simultaneously in the space, so you won’t have the space to yourself, but you’ll have your table to enjoy your experience! If you book a private class, there still may be other groups in the space, however you will be seated in your own table.

Had I not been to comparable spaces, I would have rated this experience more highly. However, I feel that there’s very little value for money here. The item you’re given to paint is incredibly small. The items are priced individually however there’s a flat price for the painting experience, irrespective of the item chosen. Most items are hand sized. The space and atmosphere is lovely. The member of staff was pleasant enough when spoken to but wasn’t the most approachable. Drinks can be purchased from the cafe across the way, they’re expensive and small but are supporting local businesses very explicitly and have a lovely shop full of art and creative items. As I said, had I not been to comparable spaces, I might not have been as dismayed as I was. Unfortunately there’s also nowhere to wash your hands which is inconvenient for obvious reasons.

No teacher was required for this activity as it was just a Paint and Chill event. However, the two members of staff were delightful. So friendly, so warm and welcoming. they explained everything that we needed to know, made everything super clear and it was such a nice environment. would recommend to anyone!!
