The ceramic experience is an award-winning visitor attraction and ceramic painting studio, situated in Wheatlands Mill, Wheatlands Road, Galashiels TD1 2HQ – just off King St/A72, beside the Red Cross building. Providing childrens activities, birthday parties, hen nights and office get togethers, you will have lots of fun with us - whatever the occasion.

Why not preserve your child's hand or footprint forever on a plate or tile? We also offer clay imprints, outprints, 3D casts, and silver miniprints - the perfect gift for a mother, father or grandparent. Come and chat to our friendly staff to find out what we can do for you

Childrens Parties

The ceramic experience is the perfect venue for children's birthday parties - burn off energy in our soft play and ball pool, before painting ceramics to take home.

Adults can join in the fun or chill out in our cafe area, and glass jewellery making is an option for over 8s. Delicious sandwiches, biscuits, cakes, fruit and juice are provided for party-goers, and we do all the clearing up afterwards - what could be better!

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.

We are open 7 days a week 10am - 5.30pm.
Last admission to the studio is at 5pm
throughout the week
