Looking for pottery painting in Exmouth?
Then you’re going to love this…
At Arty Boat, we’ve taken everything people love about pottery painting — the calm, the creativity, the satisfaction — and created a wooden version that’s just as relaxing and beginner-friendly.
Same relaxing principles.
Same beginner-friendly guidance.
But a whole new world of originality.
Our signature wooden ducks have become a bit of an obsession (don’t say we didn’t warn you 🦆). Once you paint one, you’ll want a whole flock.

🖌 How Pottery Painting Works in Exmouth
Unlike traditional studios, our experience uses a specialist quick-dry sealant instead of a kiln. We guide you step-by-step to hand-finish your piece with a protective shiny coating — meaning your artwork is sealed, protected and ready to take home straight away.
- No experience required
- Unique, friendly and fun
- Suitable for age 5+
- As simple or as detailed as you choose

🗓️ Book Your Pottery Painting Session
£3.50 per person — reserved seat, drink and biscuits included.
Everyone attending must book a place.
This reservation is separate from the pottery item you choose to paint.
Adult, child, painting or not — everyone coming into the studio must have a booked place (£3.50 per person) so we can ensure there is enough space for all guests.
Choose & pay for your pottery during your visit:
Items typically range £12–£35 • Most popular pottery pieces around £18
Session times: 10:00am & 1:30pm (up to 3 hours)
This is an immersive painting session, not a spectator activity.
For the best experience we recommend everyone chooses something to paint.
A maximum of one non-painter per group is permitted due to limited space.
✨ Same-day take home – pottery is sealed in-studio with a protective varnish (we do not kiln-fire pottery).
