Pottery Painting Workshops

From April to October, there’s no need to book—simply pop in (large groups can be accommodated outside opening hours by arrangement, so please do get in touch if you are coming as a group).
From November to March, pottery painting workshops operate by booking only.

How it works:

Choose your ceramic piece from our wide selection.
Our expert guide, Rosemary, will show you a variety of techniques.
Move to the Creative Studio and express your own style on your chosen piece.
Leave your artwork with us to be glazed and fired in our kilns, ready for collection within a day or so—or we can post it to you (UK only) for a small additional fee.

Studio Fee: £2 per painter. Please note: During busy periods or rainy days, studio time may be limited to one hour, so arriving early is recommended.

Mixed Media Art Workshops

Explore your creativity through our mixed media art experiences, combining art, mindfulness, and relaxation.

Popular sessions, such as “How Do You See the Sea?” and “How Do You See the Seasons?”, are held at various times throughout the year.
Workshops are also available for private group bookings, offering a guided journey to develop your own creative style.

Testimonials

We’ve been to Islay a lot and can safely say you won’t find a better welcome than here from Rosemary and Donald or a cottage better located for views and for touring round. It was just perfect and we had a lovely week and would not hesitate to stay here again.
