Parties & group bookings
The messiest party in Cowbridge.
Clay & Craft is the perfect venue for a celebration nobody will forget. We take care of the clay, the tools, the teaching and the mess — you just bring the people.
What we offer
A session for every celebration
Children's Birthday Parties
Pottery parties for up to 18 children. Choose from Paint-a-Pot, wheel throwing, handbuilding or any combination — we have options to suit all ages, skill levels and preferences. Every child leaves with something they made themselves, fired and glazed ready to collect. Wheel throwing sessions are limited to 6 children.
Up to 18 children (wheel: max 6) · 1.5, 2 or 2.5 hours · From £25 per child
Teen Parties
A step up from the children's party — more ambitious making, more independence, and a session that treats teenagers like the creative people they are. Wheel throwing is always a hit; handbuilding gives them more to take home. Glazing included. Wheel throwing sessions are limited to 6 guests.
Up to 18 guests (wheel: max 6) · 2–2.5 hours · From £28 per person
Adult Birthday Parties
Bring a bottleCelebrate in style — get your hands in clay and make something you'll actually keep. Choose from Paint-a-Pot, wheel throwing or handbuilding, or mix it up. Bring your own food and drinks; you're welcome to bring a cake. Glazing is optional — several options available. Wheel throwing sessions are limited to 6 guests.
Up to 18 guests (wheel: max 6) · 1.5, 2 or 2.5 hours · From £25 per person
Hen Parties

Bring your own drinks and food — we have a fridge and kettle. Glazing is optional with several options available. Wheel throwing sessions are limited to 6 guests.
Up to 18 guests (wheel: max 6) · 2–3 hours · From £25 per person
Stag Parties

We'll run a throwing challenge, score the results, and make sure everyone goes home with something to show for it. Bring your own drinks. Glazing is optional. Wheel throwing sessions are limited to 6 guests.
Up to 18 guests (wheel: max 6) · 2–3 hours · From £25 per person

Glazing
What happens to your pieces
Children & teen parties
Once pieces are bisque-fired, children are invited back to the studio to glaze them — this return-to-glaze session is included in the party price at no extra charge. If it's easier, you're also very welcome to collect the bisque pieces and paint or glaze them at home instead.
Adult glazing options
For adult, hen and stag parties, glazing is optional. Choose the option that suits your group — or take your pieces home unglazed and finish them yourself.
Return to Glaze
Come back to the studio and glaze your own pieces at your own pace.
Staff dip glaze (one colour)
Our staff dip-glaze your pieces in a single colour of your choice.
Full staff glaze
Our staff apply a full decorative glaze to your pieces.
Take home unglazed
Collect your bisque-fired pieces and paint or glaze them at home.
Finished work must be collected within 28 days of bisque firing. Due to limited storage, pieces not collected within this period may be disposed of without notice. No refunds will be issued for uncollected work.
