The Clay & Craft Cottage
The Clay Cottage is the perfect place to celebrate with friends, spend quality time with family, unwind after work, or a treat for the kids! We have the largest selection of ceramics in Essex, some of which are made from one of our 2000 moulds in our workshop. Paints, design tools, idea books and friendly staff are all here to help you create a one of a kind work of art.

As well as the large open plan studio which seats 62 inside, we also have a courtyard with tables and chairs which is lovely in the spring and summer. There is also our purpose built clay room for those who really want to get creative either using the potters wheels or try clay moulding at the large table. There are lots of examples around along with tools, cutters to help you, and of course a bit of help for those who would like it.

The Clay Cottage is a contemporary art & craft studio offering the community access to a variety of exciting arts. Even in our high tech 21st century all children love to paint and create.
