Being put next to a sweet treat stall is hell, hell on earth right now. Trying to suppress every ounce of me wanting to buy one of everything. The excuses are strong right now - it’s the weekend, have a day off, just a little treat. Oh gosh send help, please Fun day at Runwell Sports & Social club SS11 7QA. Will I last until 4pm without caving???

Behind the scenes…..3 hours of work in just under 3 minutes.

Not every day is like this after work, but certainly around the holidays there is lots of catching up to do and keeping ontop of the painted pottery our lovely Craft Shed customers have painted is top priority.

I could have stayed another hour at Fobbing to glaze another double tables worth, but having spent the majority of my day on my feet I decided an early morning start will do.

So I will back with Jane early tomorrow to glaze as she will be too hot to open first thing 🥵

Would you like to see more behind the scenes and what we get up to? Please leave us a little comment and we’ll see what we can do 😁

Sometimes allowing yourself the time to just sit with a tea or a coffee gives you that time for some head space to just think…….

I can’t tell you how many biscuits I had to go through just to get this clip right 😂

Give yourself some YOU time

🍕🎨 OUR VERY FIRST Pizza & Pottery Painting Night… and WOW, what a night! 😍✨

Who knew two of life’s greatest joys could be such a perfect match? Freshly made pizza 🍕 and pottery painting 🎨 = the ultimate feel-good evening!

A huge thank you to our lovely neighbours for providing the most delicious freshly made pizzas for everyone to enjoy while they got creative with their pottery pieces. The studio was filled with laughter, chatter, creativity and plenty of cheesy goodness! 🫶

The verdict? A MASSIVE hit! 💥

We loved seeing everyone relax, unwind, get creative and enjoy a fun evening with friends, family and fellow crafters. It was such a fantastic atmosphere that we’re already dreaming up more pottery and food combinations for future events. 👀

So… if you missed out this time, keep your eyes peeled because this may just be the start of something very tasty! 😋🎨🍕

Would you join us for another Pizza & Pottery Night? Or is there another food and pottery combo you’d love to see? Let us know below ⬇️💛

Awe, I love you too 😁

Now I know this wasn’t painted for me, but when I unloaded the kiln the other day and saw this it just made me smile. Knowing this has been hand painted for someone is just so lovely.

In fact all your pieces make us smile as we sometimes remember when they were painted, the lovely conversations we had with you during your visit and just making memories together.

Pure joy and something that you just can’t buy in the shops, it’s yours, it’s personal, no piece is the same.
