Start a Pottery Business

Learn How to Open a Paint-Your-Own Pottery Studio or Mobile Ceramics Business

Whether you're dreaming of opening a ceramic café, launching a mobile pottery painting business, or just exploring a creative side hustle, our monthly Paint Your Own Pottery Business Courses at Studio 70, Cromartie, are the perfect place to start.

We’ll guide you through the essentials — from kilns and glazing to pricing, marketing, and health & safety — in a relaxed and supportive environment. You’ll also get to meet others on the same journey, share ideas, and leave with your first professionally fired ceramic piece.

Our Stoke-on-Trent studio is the perfect location to immerse yourself in the world of ceramics. Whether you plan to work from home, host paint-your-own-pottery parties, or run events at local schools, venues, or even retirement homes, we’ll help you turn your passion into profit.

We also stock everything you need to get started: kilns, glazes and underglazes, ceramic bisque blanks, and starter kits — all available online or at our showroom.

Courses run monthly and include light buffet-style refreshments. Let us know of any dietary requirements when booking — there’s a space for this in the Special Delivery Instructions at checkout.
