On Thursday I spent a really pleasant time with all the ladies in our family at The Kiln in Bedford where we learned or experimented how to paint our own designs on to pottery or china. It was something completely new to us all as we are all very busy people with lots of different craft techniques between us but never had we sat down and painted china.

It was made so much more pleasant because you could order tea and coffee plus various cakes to relax and enjoy while you painted.

We spent several quality hours creating our master pieces, chatting and catching up with each other, followed by lunch along Bedford river. I really enjoyed it and can recommend it to anyone and for all ages. I can’t wait to go back and collect our creations next week once the shop had fired them and glazed them. What great fun and completely different from the norm.
