The team was accommodating and able to reschedule our visit when sickness prevented us from attending the original date.
Cafe itself is spacious with lots of ceramics available to choose from - suitable for everyone's budget.
Each table was equipped with instructions,
Staff came to our table and oriented us to where to find the paints, etc. Loads of shades of paints to choose from! However, we did struggle with painting intricate or more detailed designs as the paint brushes on our table were larger and evidently well used with the bristles pointing in every direction. Staff kindly were able to source us the brush we needed when asked.
A lovely experience and the menu to order a hot drink or snacks is an added bonus!
My main criticism is the lack of communication about collecting the items after they are ready. We were told we would be emailed once the items were ready for collection. I received a 'thank you for visiting us' email after the date we were initially supposed to attend, but not for the rescheduled date. Therefore, I was unsure the timeframe to expect the items would be ready. I rang 2 weeks later, and they said it wouldn't have been sent to the kiln yet. I rang back yesterday after 3 weeks and was told items should be ready for collection, I explained I haven't received an email and was advised to check my junk inbox (i didnt find anything there either) and they said they would check for my items and ring me back. Phone call wasn't returned. I'm happy to ring up again to follow up during their opening hours, but if the communication after the visit was clearer, it would be helpful for both sides.
I visited The Albaster Jar (pottery painting in Chorley) for my very first pottery painting experience a few weeks prior to visiting the Fired Paint a Pot Cafe. The experience at Albaster Jar was fantastic from start to finish, and I am conscious I'm comparing both, but im just excited to collect the mugs we worked hard to decorate. Maybe the team could look into their after experience communication process and improve this for future customers?

Come here on a Thursday afternoon and I must admit I was very much surprised, absolutely loved it, had brekkie and a coffee, spent two and half hours painting my pottery I picked out, was so therapeutic. Already booked to go back with my little boy! 10/10 ✨

Wow! Ian worked his magic at our James Bond themed party at the Red Hall on 17th September 2016. He was AMAZING! Our guests haven't stopped talking about him and how he mystified them with his magic. If you are looking for the best close up magician-look no further. Ian you were awesome thank you so much. Joyce & Jeff

Would not hesitate to recommend Ian. We have had him perform at a number of events, both corporate and private and he's been incredible every time. His close-up magic is baffling and definitely the best I've seen. Truly awesome stuff!

We have been fortunate enough to have booked Ian a few times and what an amazing professional he is! His close up magic is truly amazing and the rapport he strikes up with our guests creates a fantastic evening. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Ian and look forward to working with him at our next event.
