the paint pot

What a fantastic family friendly place to visit and have fun!!I took my 2 year old and my 9 year old and both had a brilliant time.Bethan (owner) was very welcoming and super friendly and very understanding of my noisy and busy 2 year old. Sje was very patient and kind and calm. She gave the children biscuits and squash mid way through our pottery session, this of course went down well with the children. She also let my 2 year old have a wander in her outside garden space to keep her entertained whilst my 9 year old finished his painting of his pottery figure. Followed by her assisting me in getting the childrens hand prints in paint onto my piece for my 9th (pottery) anniversary.I highly recommend this place for all!!! I have been back to collect our pieces today and whilst there I purchased a voucher for a birthday present. It is a wonderful place. Thank you Bethan!!

I took my 7 year old today with her 4 year old cousin and auntie. We had a lovely time. It was relaxed and fun and the two ladies couldn't do enough to help. We had coffee, squash and biscuits and the children painted three pieces each. It was very reasonably priced. A lovely morning, thank you.

My son loves his trip to The Paint Pot this morning. The staff were very attentive and there was plenty of choice. Toilet facilities were great for children too. Very well thought out, will definitely be back

Attended a summer holiday workshop this week and had a few issues booking on the website. Customer service was fab getting the booking completed and then this same service followed through to when actually in the workshop during a session. 5*Bethan is the perfect host - allowing the children (my son is nearly 4) answer for themselves. We’ve actually attended some craft sessions in other establishments where they have assumed what the child wants to do - my son loved the control of choosing the item he wanted to decorate, the paints he chose, how he did it, everything! Thank you Bethan - oh and he loved his squash and biscuits mid session too (free by the way - so thank you!)There is no parking on site but the roads in the surrounding area aren’t subject to “resident permit only” or “no return in 1hr” etc so you should be able to park close enough if you have accessibility issues.Thanks Bethan and Paint Pot - we can’t wait to come back and bring daddy for a session!

Brilliant session at the paint pot, nothing was too much trouble. So welcoming and encouraging.Happy tribe of little girls who had so much fun..We will definitely be back xx

Lovely shop and lovely staff with plenty of crafts to learn and fall in love with.

Our two grandchildren had a very enjoyable time recently at the Paint Pot, Commercial Road, Taibach.The light, spacious interior has had a huge transformation, with several display shelves in the main workshop showing all types of art and pottery creations.The owner and staff are really knowledgable about art and very willing to help young children and those not so young to achieve some amazing results.

I'd recommend the Paint Pot for a day with the girls! 9 of us went and enjoyed some prosecco and a few welshcakes and painted some beautiful mugs! We were well taken care of, and can't wait to pick them up after they've been glazed!
