A little bit
about us
Ceramics on the Hop started as a mobile ceramic painting activity. We now have a lovely studio in the pretty village of Writtle.
Having a studio allows for a wider choice of pottery to paint and the space to offer clay workshops.
No prior experience? No problem!
We are always on hand to provide guidance and support, ensuring that your pottery painting experience is both enjoyable and rewarding.
We'll walk you through the process, from selecting the right brushes and paints to mastering different techniques.
