Went to a pottery painting class for parents and babies and made a gorgeous keepsake hand and foot print tile. The staff were very kind and accommodating to me and my baby and sorted me out with a changing mat to change my baby’s nappy. They had no issue with me eating food or having a coffee there also which I was grateful for because I’d left the house without breakfast. It was a lovely way to spend a morning on mat leave and I’ve recommended it to friends who are also on mat leave.

I took my 6 year old niece for a pottery painting session on a Tuesday, and it was so good that I brought my 6 year old nephew on the Friday! I can’t say enough about how warm, welcoming and inviting this gorgeous space and its staff are. The first session was 12 noon midweek and we were the only people there. We were even asked if we had any favourite songs to play while we painted! While it was busier at the 3pm session on Friday, the gorgeous instructor who helped us out (and was very patient and kind with my ND nephew) found time to bring us down to see one of the cooled kilns and explain the firing process. We need more creative businesses like this in Dublin and I hope they’re around for a long time so I can make it an annual activity!

One of my favourite places in Dublin, partly for the experience but also for the staff! They are so friendly and helpful! I have been several times myself and also brought family members. Was there today with my nieces and one of the staff (wish I'd gotten her name!) was just incredibly good. She made space for my sister to have her baby comfortably with us, and spent so much time helping my nieces pick what to paint, showing them how to use the tools, and talking to them about their painting, checking in on us several times as we painted. A great spot for something fun and creative in Dublin.
