Our Favourite Teacher Gift Idea Designs
Take a gander below to get pottery painting design ideas for teacher gifts.
You are the Bee's Knees Vase
Get the whole class together and create a beautiful vase with everyone's fingerprints on turned into cute little Bee's. We do all of the decorating, all you have to do is order the piece and pick up a Take Out Kit from us in the studio. We'll provide you with instructions and map out the design prior so you'll know where to put all of the fingerprints. Write the children's names around their prints in a biro or felt tip and bring back to us in the studio for us to decorate and kiln fire. We'll then email you once the finished vase is ready to collect!
Apple Teacher Plate
This is a great option if you aren't wanting the extra effort of collecting all the class' fingerprints. This plate can simply be ordered through our shop and then collected once it's ready! Its a lovely design for the teacher to have on display in their class room, complete with names of the children and the year it makes a special keepsake.
Hand Painted Mugs
Personalised mugs make great gifts for teachers as they can be used so are functional rather than dust gatherers. "Thank you for Helping me Grow" is a popular message we see painted onto mugs with fingerprints made into flowers or a garden scene painted onto a mug. Another popular message for teacher gifts is: "Big Hearts Shape Little Minds". It's a simple design to replicate and would look even more special in your childs handwriting.
'Colourful Class' Crayon Design
Get the whole class involved in a big thank you gift for your teacher with a design as colourful as your class! This can also be done using the children's fingerprints and decorated into crayons by us.
Owl Class Tree
Another adorable way to get the whole class involved in your teacher's gift - everyone's fingerprints transformed into little owls perched on a tree!
Last Minute Gift Ideas for Teachers
If you've left it a little late, fear not gift a pottery experience with a voucher. We offer both pottery painting and clay workshops. What better way for a hard working teacher to unwind than with a nice therapeutic clay session? These make great collective gifts from the class and saves the teacher from getting multiples of the same gift!
These are just a few of our Teacher Gift designs! Get information and more ideas from our gifts for teachers webpage.
