Hosted in our Worthing Pottery Café
Pottery Painting
Pottery Painting is a fun experience for any age or ability. Our stock offers a range of pieces that are perfect for whether you are wanting a new handmade piece for the home, create memories with hand/footprints or make a gift for that special person!
In our studio, we have tons of tools, stamps, stickers and inspiration to make your vision come to life!
All our paint and glaze is non-toxic and food safe, so little ones are safe when using the products!
One hour of non-stop fun!
Making memories…
Capturing your baby’s hand or footprints when they are tiny makes a treasured keepsake and a great present for family and friends.
At art-ful, we can capture your child’s hand or footprint either with glaze on ceramic or as a 3D plaster print.
For baby prints onto ceramics, book a table on the website.
We will help you decide on the colour to use and show you how to get a good print.
We have a wide range of ceramics to choose from for your baby prints, from plates to photo frames to vases.
The underglaze paints are non-toxic and wash out of clothes easily.
Our 3-dimensional baby footprints are made by pressing your baby’s hand or foot into playdough. We then cast the print using plaster.
We have a few different finishes for you to choose from. It takes 4 weeks for the plaster to dry before you can collect it.
Prices – £60 for the cast in a frame.
Please book an appointment to make our 3D prints. (please note: We do not do casts on Sundays.)

A little more info…
Yes, it’ll guarantee you a table and the equipment, especially at busy times.
Your pottery has to be hand dipped, wiped and loaded into the kiln. The firing itself takes two days or more, and so you will be given a date when decorating for the collection of your finished item, normally around a week later.
During busy periods, the collection time will be 2 weeks as we have a lot of pottery to go through the kiln. Postage is available and calculated at the time of paying.
We’ll do our best, but it depends how much pottery there is going through the kiln and the time of the year. There is only so much room in the kilns as you can imagine. We can post pottery if you live further away, prices will be calculated at the time of paying.
All are paints are child safe, water based, non toxic under glazes and they wash out from clothes.
We do not contact you to tell you that your pottery is ready. It’s usually a week to collect , sometimes 2 weeks if we are very busy. At the point of sale, we will tell you when to collect.
We will hold on to your pottery for one month after your collection date. Unfortunately, we haven’t got the space to store it any longer.
Yes, we can post your pottery – there’s a postal fee for this.
Yes, you can come back and finish it, we charge a studio fee to return and finish.
We do not recommend you do this, they will last longer if you handwash only.
We now do parties in the cafe! We hold UV Parties every weekend so please fill our enquire form out to book. If you aren’t wanting a UV party, then you can book a large table in the cafe for a birthday gathering, however this is just a table booking.
Advanced booking required, limited availability…
