Situated five minutes from Port Askaig on the road to Bunahabhain Persabus Pottery offers a unique setting in which to unwind and explore your creativity. We stock a range of ceramic bisqueware for you to paint, from plates and mugs to a variety of banks and animals. There is something for everyone and no experience is necessary. You can either paint pottery in acrylics and we will seal the finished item with varnish, or you can paint using under glaze and then we will dip the piece in glaze and fire it for you in our kilns. Glazed items can then be collected several days later from the pottery; items painted in acrylics can be taken home the same day. We welcome all ages. During busy times seating may be limited; if you wish to book a session, rather than just turning up, you can call us on 01496 840243. We are happy to accept larger parties of people out-with our opening hours and adults are very welcome to come and have an evening pottery session and bring along a bottle of wine, we will provide the glasses and nibbles; phone us on 01496 840243 to enquire.
Alternatively come along to our tea room where you can relax on one of the comfy sofas or sit at one of our coffee tables and enjoy a china cake stand filled with sandwiches and home baking and a large pot of afternoon tea. Choose from the variety of loose leaf teas we have to offer, or indulge in a cafetiere of fresh coffee, juices are also available. There is always an assortment of home baking to choose from and we offer a range of fillings for sandwiches, which are freshly prepared on the premises when you place your order.
On warm days you can sit outside on our picnic benches and take in the spectacular views of the Paps of Jura. Watercolour paper and paints are available, at a small charge, if you wish to indulge in your own creativity, and translate your interpretation of the stunning scenery into art form.
