The Pottery Shed
Our skilled staff are here to help you capture your baby or child's hand & footprints on pottery. If you are looking to improve or advance your painting skills then why not book in for one of our events & Workshops. We have over 20 large Bear skins for you to choose from: from Unicorns, Dragons & Dinosaurs to Elephants & Giraffes or Bunnies, Cats or Dogs as well as lots of traditional teddy bears.

Welcome to The Pottery Shed, a Paint Your Own Pottery Studio based in the center of Hinckley. We only have 5 tables inside the shop and our booking system staggers arrival times so that we only have one group walking around the shop at a time. We are continuing to do a number of Take-Out Kits both for Pottery and Make a Bear to keep children and families amused during Lockdown.
Services
We can create you a unique personalised gift with or without handprints for Christenings and Naming Days. From Piggy banks to baby naming stars or we have gift vouchers if you'd like them to choose a gift for themselves. We also do signature plates of all sizes. We provide you with the finished plate and a special pen allowing your guests to sign the plate with best wishes.
We can personalise a small heart or horseshoe with the couples names and special date on it. Have your guests sign a plate instead of a book with all their best wishes for the happy couple. It gets harder to make a wedding unique these days, but this will stand out from the crowd. Take a look at our upcoming events and workshops to see if there's anything that might interest you.
We take your babies hand or footprints in clay to capture all the little folds and creases. The prints are presented in a box frame with Gingham backgrounds which are unique only to The Pottery Shed. Take a look at our upcoming events and workshops to see if there's anything that might interest you.
Pottery painting is still an enjoyable way to celebrate your child's birthday. Just book a table for the number of guests you'd like to bring. You can do this by booking through the bookings page. If you let us know what budget you have per person, we can put a selection of items on a tray for the children to choose from, and we'll be on hand to give guidance and advice.
The Pottery Shed is a great place for celebrating Hen Parties or birthdays. Or if you are just looking for an excuse to have a night out with friends and do something creative. For adult groups / hen parties you are welcome to bring along your own wine, champagne and make a day or night of it, or we can provide soft drinks and hot drinks for you.

A wide choice of starting pottery, from smart jugs,mugs and plates to imaginative animals. They also have plates etc with shapes pre drawn, so the quite young can colour in. A very pleasant atmosphere, it is especially nice to not be immediately on a road.

We had a great time. The staff were really helpful when we booked in our group and changed the time. They explained techniques and options to us and were on hand if needed. We enjoyed a relaxed, sociable time as we painted our items all afternoon. This is a clean, welcoming space - a little tucked away, but perfect for a mixed group of family and friends.
