The pottery studio had organised Covid measures very well and the staff were very welcoming. The pottery painting is great fun, relaxing and a lovely way to spend an hour or two. We were a group of 6 adults and we had lots of fun, but undoubtedly children would love it also. Well organised, not too expensive and a lovely personal souvenir of your holidays to bring home. You do need to plan this though because the pottery needs to be glazed and fired, so you call back to the studio after about 3 days to pick it up. However, if that doesn't fit with your schedule, the studio will ship it to you (don't know if there is an extra cost for this, as we didn't need to).

5. Creative Mandala Workshops with Dominika Stoppa
Creative Mandalas are a unique combination of collage, using circular mandala shapes, over 100 symbols, photos, quotes and other elements that are significant to the participants. Every piece is different and meaningful to the artist. From first glance, they are original symbolic pieces of art, but for their creator, they are often telling a story behind one’s life chapter. Workshop participants can expect to find Dominika’s creative process relaxing and therapeutic.

The Twin Trees Heywood Art & Culture Festival takes place in August. Visitors can take part in tutored En Plein Air landscape painting, tour the magical Heywood Gardens, enjoy talks by experts, view floral artistry displays in the historic All Saints Church and enjoy generous hospitality in picturesque Ballinakill village.

This was a great afternoon painting pottery for my daughter's bridal shower. Siobhan was so welcoming and went the extra mile to ensure the afternoon was fun.
