The ceramic experience is an award-winning visitor attraction and ceramic painting studio,minutes from Gateshead and right next to the A1motorway.

Providing childrens activities, birthday parties, hen nights and office get togethers, you will have lots of fun with us - whatever the occasion.

Schools

The Ceramic Experience would be delighted to visit your school. We come equipped with everything needed for a painting session and tidy up after ourselves at the end. You can paint with underglaze paints which we take away to be fired (non-toxic, food-safe and dishwasher-proof), or with acrylics, which are instant.

Dec '07 - Cardinal Hume Catholic School

To celebrate the opening of the new school all the children had to design a plate.

The winners were brought along to the studio on Monday 17th December '07 where 20 of the children copied their designs onto ceramic plates. These plates were fired and they are now on display at the school for a term, after which the children will take them home. The runner up prizes for 4 of the children was for us to copy the design onto plates - these are now permanently on display at the school.

Tyne Tees TV Christmas Challenge!

In December 07, Tyne Tees Television contacted us to ask if they could come along to our studio and film two of their presenters completing a Christmas Challenge to be broadcast on their local evening news program.

On Monday 17th December, Philipa from the Tyne Tees News Room and weatherman Bob Johnson came along to the ceramic experience where they undertook our Chirstmas Challenge - to make a Chirstmas Candle Wreath of clay.
