Hi all - I said I would keep you posted...
My 17 year old daughter now has her own business, it's a Paint your own Pottery Studio and Gift Shop located in Rochester, Kent.
She has been doing the pottery for a while now, as some of you may already know she did the Personalised Christmas Stockings for some forum members
How it works:-
Come along choose your piece of pottery - prices start from as little as £2.00 - a basic mug is £5.00. There is also a studio fee payable which is priced according to the type of paint you use. Acrylic is the cheapest and also means you can take the item away with you on the day. The other way is to use underglaze paint, the pottery then has to have a top glaze and refired. Items such as mugs, plates and anything that needs to be waterproof has to be glazed.
She does baby hand and foot prints onto mugs and plates. Then she add personalised details such as name, date etc
She has had people travel from a distance as she is the only studio in about a 25 mile radius.
We are proud of her as she is presently doing her A Levels (I have given up work to cover the studio when she cannot be there, only downside she isn't paying me!) and is hoping to go on to the local Arts University.
