Discover how Crafty Monkey Pottery Studio in Cambridgeshire was born in 2010 and has grown into a hub for pottery painting, clay classes & creative experiences for all. How Crafty Monkey Pottery Studio in Cambridgeshire Was Born Chrissy Bennett Owner of Crafty Monkey From Idea to Kiln: The Journey of Crafty Monkey Pottery Painting & Craft Studio Established 2010 At the time, Chrissy worked as a buyer for a gift experience company, spending her days testing out everything from Ferrari driving and hot air balloon rides to spa days and photoshoots. Tough job, right? But someone had to do it! Always on the lookout for exciting new experiences, Chrissy discovered paint-your-own pottery at a ceramics café during a friend’s hen do—and she was instantly hooked! She loved how it was an experience that everyone, regardless of age or ability, could enjoy.While chatting with the café owner about what a fantastic business it must be to run, the owner simply said, “You should start one yourself.” And with that, the lightbulb went off! Six months later, after plenty of planning, Crafty Monkey in St. Neots flung open its doors just in time for the summer holidays of 2010.Since then, Crafty Monkey has thrived thanks to the support of the St. Neots local community and our amazing customers. The business has grown into a team of 7, with Chrissy now working behind the scenes while the team concentrate on the day to day running of the studio and take Crafty Monkey on the road, hosting pottery painting and build a bear at various venues. Though we’re a business, we feel rooted in the community. We’ve partnered with local schools, playgroups, nurseries, and have contributed to community projects like a tile mural in the library. Our collaboration with Black Cat Radio led to a fun mug-painting contest too! Many of our regular customers have become friends, and it’s been a joy watching children grow - from capturing their baby handprints to seeing them join us for work experience or even Saturday jobs. It’s been an incredible journey, and we can’t wait to see where the next chapter takes us!

Our Pottery should be cared for in order to ensure a long life. Find out how to care for the pottery you have painted. Pottery Care Instructions How to Care for Your Hand Painted Ceramics Thank you for choosing to paint ceramics at Crafty Monkey Pottery Painting Studio! To ensure your beautiful piece remains in optimum condition, please follow the care instructions below. By following these guidelines, you can keep your hand-painted ceramics looking beautiful and vibrant for years to come. If you have further questions about caring for your pottery, feel free to contact us. General Care Handle with Care: Treat your ceramic piece gently to avoid chips or cracks. Avoid dropping or banging it against hard surfaces. Temperature Changes: Avoid exposing your pottery to sudden temperature changes as this can cause thermal shock crazing and cracking. How Do I Clean My Pottery? Hand Washing: For best results, always hand wash your ceramic items and don't submerge your piece into water for a long period of time. Use warm water and mild dish soap with a soft sponge or cloth. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft towel. Avoid Abrasives: Do not use abrasive scrubbers or harsh cleaning agents as they can damage the painted surface. Dishwasher: While putting it in the dishwasher now and again won't necessarily damage it, over time it will wear a lot quicker and we recommend hand washing to preserve the hand-painted design and ensure the longevity of your pottery. Using Your Hand-Painted Pottery Can I use my pottery in the microwave? We don't recommend putting your pottery in the microwave. Is it safe to put my pottery in the oven? Hand-painted ceramics should not be used in the oven. Is it OK to put my pottery in the freezer? Do not place your ceramic items directly in the freezer, as extreme cold can cause cracking. If you need to chill a piece, allow it to reach room temperature before refrigerating. Displaying Your Ceramics Sunlight Exposure: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause colors to fade. Display your ceramics away from strong sunlight to maintain their vibrant appearance. Surface Protection: Use felt pads or coasters under your pottery to prevent scratches on your furniture.

For the most up-to-date information on opening hours, please visit our opening hours page or head to our booking page to book a session which will show you our availability. Do I need to book in advance? Yes, we ask you book online in advance as we can get fully booked and we only offer some sessions at certain days or times of the day. You can however reschedule most sessions and you can book last minute just before you come. It's also important you book the right appointment for what you want to do. See our online booking system. Can I bring food and drink into Crafty Monkey? We do not allow you to bring and consume your own food and drink on our premises—except for alcoholic drinks on our Sip and Paint Pottery Nights, Event Nights, Hen Party, and Adult Party bookings. Residue from food on your hands can cause issues with your pottery item. It can leave dark patches on the surface once the pottery has been fired, and can also act as a resistance to the glaze, leaving patches unglazed. You can also bring a birthday cake if you have booked a Kids Party with us to sing 'Happy Birthday' and blow out candles but this can't be eaten in the studio. 🎨Will I get to use underglazes on my piece? Yes, you will get to use our pottery underglazes to decorate your piece how you wish. Contact Us
