Welcome To Frankie’s Paint-It Pottery
Frankie’s Paint-it Pottery Studio is a brand new pottery painting experience in Liverpool.
How it works…
Choose your item from our large selection of bisque, paint it how you wish using our range of coloured under glazes.
We will glaze and fire it for you in our kiln ready for you to collect the following week. Studio Fee is £3 per person painting (this covers glazing and firing) We also do baby hand and foot prints for that special keepsake.
Prices of the pottery start at £9/£10 and go right up to £50 for large, heavy items. We have a large range of pottery to choose from.
Bookings are not always necessary as we do take walk-ins but we advise booking a table at busy times like weekends and school holidays. Call the studio to book or send an email enquiry or fill in an enquiry form (to check availability). Filling in a booking enquiry form does not mean you are booked in! We will check the diary and respond to your enquiry and confirm if we have availability on the day you are requesting (as we do large events/parties etc. also). Table booking times are staggered so that people don’t arrive all at the same time. We operate 2 hour time slots for the pottery painting sessions and they are usually at the following times: Morning 10.00, 10.30, 11.00 | Early Afternoon 12.20, 1.00, 1.30 | Late afternoon 3.00, 3.30, 4.00
Groups and parties are welcome (booking required), the price of the item covers everything!
We also offer foam clay instead of underglazes which means an item can be taken home that day.
Interested in learning more about clay? We offer workshops on this too!

Social interaction and mental health

Creativity
Having been a teacher for many years, I have seen how the curriculum has been squeezed in subject areas such as art and how some schools are so focused on other areas that creativity and expression are lost or neglected. Ancient people expressed themselves through art...
Pottery not Plastic
