It's hen party season! If you're looking for a fun, creative activity for your hens with something they can take home as a reminder of the weekend, have you thought of sip and paint?
With lots of options to choose from or tailored to you!
This weekend we painted martinis because the beautiful bride's fiancé is called Martin!
We held this sip and paint at absolutely beautiful Ilkley Green Room but we can also travel to you!

We’ve Closed!…ish

Due to lots of different reasons, we’ve decided to close our shop. We have loved every minute of running Clayful in Ilkley and are so grateful to all our wonderful customers for your support and we are so grateful for all the wonderful people we’ve met!

Don’t worry though, this isn’t the last you’ll see of us! We will be going forward just focusing on our mobile workshops!

This just made a lot more sense for us financially and for our family. So we will be doing mobile workshops and pop up events! We’ll keep you posted!
​
As you can imagine, this is quite a big change for us and a lot of extra work for a little bit to make it a lot simpler and more efficient in the long run! So please be patient with us!
​
We will be working on our updated website (none of us are tech geniuses so bare with!) over the next few weeks with all our services and upcoming events, so keep an eye out on that and on our social media!
​
All pots painted in our cafe are finished and ready to collect. Don’t panic if you haven’t collected yet, we are still here so give us a call on 07305705175 and we can arrange a collection time for you to take your creations home. We will be around until the end of May so please try to get in touch before then to avoid disappointment. If you can’t get here before then, let us know and we can see if we can help!

Thank you so much again for all your support and kindness and we can’t wait to see you all again just in a slightly different setting!

lots of love

Here at Clayful, we have started a really special charity project with the Children’s Cancer Unit at the LGI that we’re so excited about!
We’re going once a month to do pottery painting with the children and we will also be doing tile prints with any little ones who are sadly coming to the end of their fight against cancer so that their families can keep a special hand print of their child. We will, of course be doing all of this for free!

Last time, we took a range of animals for the 16 children on the ward to paint and they had a great time getting creative!
The incredible play team sent us some great pictures and gave us permission to share them with you!
This is “Lexi & Lilly Rose, who loved doing their pots -
Lilly Rose - simply wanted a purple dinosaurs and really enjoyed getting out bed as painting is her favourite thing to do, which was made more exciting as it was a dinsaurs instead of just paper.
Lexi decided to be very artisitc with her pink cat, she spent over 40 minutes carefully painting her cat” understandably, most other children didn’t feel up to having their picture taken ❤️

Each time we go, we’d love to bring some goodies with us to give to the little ones and their families! Last time, so many people brought in lovely presents which the children were so excited about!!
We know this time of year is expensive but if you get chance, please drop off any presents at Clayful for us to bring next time we go! We’ll be going across later this week to do Christmas pots & baubles!

We hope you have the best Christmas ❤️
