    Hi all

    Just wondering if there are any active places around Dublin where you can go even once off for a clay, pottery making experience?

    The only one I could find (the pottery experience) doesn't run anymore or else anywhere else is just kids painting pottery classes.

    Looking forward to replies

    Thanks

    Nearest I can recommend is in Carlow or Laois. If you can travel. Reccomend both.

    Anybody have an update on this for September 2022? I brought my kids to Giddy Studios in the Red Car park in Dundrum Town Centre a few years ago and they loved it and we have a lovely piece of pottery each from it. Unfortunately, that seems to have closed down according to the voicemail on the phone number (https://giddystudios.com/).

    Is there anywhere else in Dublin or even north Wicklow where I could bring the kids for a pottery-making experience? There's a gap in the market there if there isn't!

    Not sure if they accept kids, though. Your best best would be to contact a potter local to you and see would they consider running classes/once-off sessions, if you're looking for proper pottery classes.

    If you're looking for "paint your own pottery piece" type of thing, there are a few places. A quick search returned these (I've no affiliation with any of them):

    https://thehappypottery.com/
    https://www.familyfun.ie/artworks-cafe/

    This one says "Now closed", but I don't know if they mean "outside of opening hours" or "out of business".
