Mobile Paint Your Own Pottery Parties
and Personalised Child Keepsakes
Welcome to Teacup Designs
Teacup Designs is an independent, family business owned by me, Helen. I am based in York and run the business with help from my two children and very patient husband. I offer mobile pottery painting parties in and around York and host occasional pop-up sessions for seasonal events. For the mobile parties, whether you're hosting a party in your home, local village hall, school or meeting place, I bring everything needed to create your own useable masterpieces! I have a wide range of pottery pieces so can accommodate most types of adult groups and children's parties. Please look through my website for full details of what is available.
What I do
I start with a piece of pre fired pottery (bisque). The paints I use are water based and non toxic, so safe for babies and young children.
Once the pottery has been painted, I dip the pieces into a lead free glaze and fire them in my kiln to 998C. The kiln is partially powered by solar panels, sunshine permitting. It takes 8 hours for the kiln to get up to temperature and about the same time to cool down so it requires patience!
Then the pottery is finished and is food safe. Your items will be delivered to you about 1-2 weeks after the event to give out to your guests.
