Children’s parties – We provide creative fun for children, usually from 4 years old and up. You choose the pieces of pottery for the party and, on the day, we come equipped with everything the young artists will need to create a unique masterpiece at the venue of your choice. We will then tidy up and leave you to enjoy the rest of the party. A week later we return the glazed and fired artwork to the party organiser.
We offer parties for between 6 and 15 children. For a smaller or bigger group, please consider the Take-away pottery pack.
Prices are from £9.50 per person (including invitations, blank bisqueware, everything you need to paint, glazing and firing of painted pots, return of fired pieces)
Playgroups, youth and adult painting sessions for community groups and charitable organisations– We come to join your group for a painting session and bring everything you need to paint a pot or do hand and footprints of little ones. In order to offer a discounted price, we will need mums/dads/carers to supervise the activities with young people.

Schools and nurseries – It is paramount for Sparkle & Co to promote artistic activity as a means to develop children’s self confidence and skills.
We offer sessions in nurseries to capture hand or footprints and to let toddlers be sparkling artists with a paintbrush to create a long lasting memory.
We provide schools with curriculum-based projects in class or group projects such as a tiled mural to commemorate a special event.
We are also able to supply you with bisque ware and paint to let you do your activities. Once you finished your project, we will glaze and fire the artwork and return it to you.
