The Festive Season is officially here at the Museum of Royal Worcester so you can enjoy Paint-Your-Own-Pottery sessions to prepare personalised gifts or treats for Christmas!
Your ticket includes all painting materials. Then choose from a wide range of ceramics to paint, from £9 up to £22 including Santa and elf mugs, mince pie plates, espresso cups, money boxes, baubles and tree decorations. We’ve also got flower pots, bird boxes, trinket holders and pet bowls, for your four legged friends.
You’ll be surrounded by inspiration in our Ceramic Studio, plus our friendly staff are on hand to help. Book a table for up to six people or as individual painters, then relax as you’ll have an hour and half to try out your artistic skills.
NEW THIS WINTER – EVENING FESTIVE PAINT A POT taking place on:
Thursday 5 December, 4pm-9pm (all ages, family friendly) and
Thursday 12 December, 4pm-9pm (Adults and ages 14+) Alcoholic drinks available to purchase.
If you have time, you can also explore the Museum before or after your session. Be inspired by the art and design and the people behind ‘The Porcelain’ in our collections, plus we have plenty of fun activities for children including our new Sensory Trail. You can explore all Winter long using hands, ears and noses!
We are close to car parks, including blue badge, opposite local cafe GoodRoots and a few minutes from Worcester Cathedral, riverside walks and cycle routes. Worcester City Centre High Street is full of independent shops, so you really can make a day of it.
Prefer to paint together at home?
No problem. We have PYOP Home Kits available with everything you need, then return to us for glazing and firing, and they make wonderful creative presents!
ADULTS OR CHILDREN’S PARTIES Did you know you can book a pottery painting party for your special occasion at the Museum? From birthdays, anniversaries to reunions, find out more.
You can also give the gift of creativity with colourful embossed Gift Vouchers that can be used for Paint Your Own Pottery, in the Museum Shop, for Museum entry or experiences such as Afternoon Tea, served on Royal Worcester.
How does it work?
You and your group will browse our range of ceramic items and make a selection. Our ceramic items range from £9-£22.
You’ll have a range of underglaze colours and tools to use, with staff on hand to offer inspiration and assistance if required.
Once you’ve finished painting, you will leave the items in our capable hands. We will glaze it and fire it in our kiln. Colours will become richer, and your item will have a hard shiny clear surface – which is food-safe should you wish to use it once you take it home.
We need up to 21 days at busy times to glaze and fire (if this is for a gift please ensure you leave plenty of time), and we will call you to let you know your item is ready for collection. We can post your item back to you for an additional cost – speak to a member of staff if this is required.
