🎃 Pic & Paint a Pumpkin Pal 🎃

We have just 30 of these stunning pumpkin lanterns for you to paint.
They have all been individually hand carved, so each one is different, and they are £40 each.

These are available in the studio, but if you see one you really like, you can reserve it via the website for £20, ready to paint when you visit us.

If you buy one via the website, you will then need to book a table, or onto one of our Fired and Fizz events, to paint it.

PLEASE NOTE THIS IS NOT AN EVENT EVEN THOUGH IT IS SHOWN AS AN EVENT ONTHE WEBSITE. The event has been set up as a way to reserve the pumpkins.

If you want it guaranteed by Halloween, then it needs to be painted by then end of Saturday 19th October.

Reserve your here

It hasn’t all been bad news over the past few weeks. I became a grandma to this little cutie. Welcome to the world, Noah, and massive congratulations to Georgina and Marshall! 🎨💕

Thank you for all your support and understanding since we took the decision to temporarily close last week

I have had several meetings over the last week with various parties, including local councillors, police officers and council departments.

They are all working hard to improve the situation, and already, the area around the shop has improved massively. We have taken the decision to remain closed for bookings this week, but we are hopeful that we will be fully open from 12th September.

Assuming nothing worsens over the next 24 hours, we will be open for collections only during our normal hours this week.

We will email all of this weeks bookings and will begin to process refunds.

This is a post I hoped I wouldn’t have to write, but I don’t feel I have any choice.

If you have visited the studio over the last few years you will probably have noticed we have been dealing with increasing problems on Peter Street with parking etc, and in the last few months these issues have escalated significantly.

There are currently people living in/sleeping in the vans and cars that have been parked on the street for nsome time. The anti social behaviour and unsanitary conditions that this has brought with it has meant that Peter Street has felt increasingly unpleasant.

On my return from holiday the situation had worsened further, and I feel it is now irresponsible of me to encourage people, especially families with children, to visit Peter street. I have therefore taken the really difficult decision to close until such a time that the local authorities can help resolve the situation.

I have tried many different avenues to try and resolve this over the last couple of years, and have been pushed to breaking point over the past few months as I have felt passed from pillar to post with nobody offering any resolution. We have had to call the police on numerous occasions recently, and I know that at times my customers have felt uncomfortable visiting us.

This is not just affecting me, but other local businesses as well as the local church are also in a similar position. (A big thank you to Novas Freestyle Martial Arts Academy for helping me out over the past couple of weeks when dealing with situations where I have not felt safe).

I would like to thank my local councillors Luis McBriar and Russell Bernstein and the Moorside Action Team who have reached out and are meeting with me to discuss the situation.

I have messaged all bookings for the next few days and will continue to message people and issue refund for deposits etc. I am truly devasted to let you down like this, but hope you will understand why now.

I will constantly review the situation and keep you updated. Please make sure you check for messages/emails before attending any bookings (they often end in junk folders) and if in doubt please drop me a message. We will be arranging some specific days and times when people can collect, so please don’t worry about your pottery.

I hope and pray that it will not be too long before the situation gets resolved for all of us affected, and we can reopen Fired Paint A Pot for everyone to enjoy.

(Happy pottery photo as payment to the Facebook algorithm)

I have just dropped all the finished bowls from our recent ice cream event off at Jersey Girls Dairy Ice Cream, ready for collection.

On a sunny day like today, it would’ve been rude not to sample some of the delicious mango sorbet myself 😋

Today is the day when our amazing friends Emily Wilby and Brogan Townsley-Parker open their amazing new studio in Leeds Oh Hello Studio.

Many of you will have seen Emily’s amazing artwork and baby prints, and will have seen the baby print posters she designed in our studio.
I have also had the great pleasure of sampling some of Brogans amazing cakes and brownies, and they are definitely not to be missed!

Good Luck today, you are going to smash it.
And if and if you are over in the Pudsey area of Leeds, the drop in and see for yourself!!!

This kiln opening definitely made me smile. Betty is mended, and had done her first glaze firing successfully. Now the task of catching up.

Please wait until you get your email to come and collect.

Thanks

01/07/2024

Unfortunately, Betty the kiln isn’t feeling very well.

I think I have diagnosed her, but need some new parts to make her well.

This means there will be a delay on pottery until I can perform her surgical procedure. If you haven’t already received an email for collection, then unfortunately it will now be the end of the week before I am firing again

I am really sorry for the delay, I will keep you updated on her progress.

27/06/2024

Unfortunately we are closed for painting today and tomorrow. We are still open for collections, and we are busy putting some new stock out!
