The Craft Pottery - Pottery Painting

"We had a wonderful visit, coming as a group of two adults, two teenagers, and our 4-month-old puppy.
The pottery crafting experience was so relaxing, and the atmosphere and vibe here are an absolute 10/10!
Every member of staff was attentive, friendly and caring, making us feel so welcome from the moment we arrived. We brought our own drinks and snacks, and they even thoughtfully provided a dog bowl of fresh water for our puppy too.
There is a fantastic range of pottery items to choose from to paint, plus plenty of paint colours, brushes, stencils and other tools to help you create something truly unique and personal. We all had such a lovely time – we’d highly recommend it!" We will definitely be back.

I always have fun. It's great for first dates, friends, celebrations, or even just when you want to mix things up and do something you don't usually. It's not crazy expensive and you can bring your own food and drink in while you paint. The people that work there are super helpful, even if they did temporarily misplace my pottery one time. It can get pretty loud but that's because the space has hard walls that the sound just bounces back into your ears. If you are planning on bringing your own drinks, I would recommend cans rather than sharing bottles, just for ease but they do sometimes have paper cups if you ask and bottle openers if need be.

A brilliant wee spot. I’ve been here multiple times with friends and boyfriend. I will be bringing my mum soon. I booked 2/3 weeks in advance for a Saturday 6:45pm spot. I recommend arriving 10 minutes in advance, as you can have the full 2 hours to paint (if you are a perfectionist like me). I find it a great spot to tune out and lock in, and I even enjoy the background noise of chatting. Very relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Amazing selection of paints. Especially accessible and wheelchair / disabled friendly. However, by using only public transport, the roads are not great to access the building. You have to go on the road. Not the best. Had to uber there instead. I would have rated it 5 stars without the pavement situation. Thank you for a consistent brilliant experience.

Five of us went on Sunday for a friends birthday. I hadn’t done pottery painting since primary school so was really looking forward to it. There is nowhere local to me I can go to do this so traveling to Glasgow was a day out for me! I was a bit flustered at first going in as I didn’t know the set up but once it was explained to us it made sense. I loved exploring my creative side and it was great seeing everybody's designs. I loved it and would go back!

My son and I had a great time. It’s really fun (even for perfectionist OCDers like us). It is a really chill atmosphere, the staff are all friendly. Such a good way to spend a day/evening

Explore the hidden history, tunnels and forgotten platforms beneath Glasgow Central Station on a fascinating guided tour.


Glasgow Central tours

Sinead was such a wonderful advert for the tour!! Passion for all things Central Station was clear to see. After seeing this on TV, this long overdue tour was worth the wait. Great insight to the history & the hopes for the future. All funded by ticket sales, how much more could be done with some lottery funding for example???
Good few stairs to be climbed up & down, so sensible footwear and reasonable fitness required.

Go for it, support this great wee set up.

UNBELIEVABLE, as an ex railway employee, so many memories. Paul is an utter machine with info, banter, laughs and at times serious regarding war stories of gone heroes being returned to their loved ones, it was a rollercoaster of emotions and was just amazed at the story of central. Paul connected with everyone, spoke to everyone, called me beardy, cheeky rascal, pot kettle, honestly it is worth every single penny to see this. Allow up to 90 mins to 2 hours which it was,it went in in feeling 40 mins it was that entertaining. I know we will be back as there are plans in pencil to do more to the walk. The forgotten Victorian platform was a dark gloomy place as it still had the gunk and soot from the steam train arrivals. Honestly, get on this like a seagull on a chip. So informative, and never knew just how vast it is under the station. Paul, you are a Central legend, shame the jokes were as bad as christmas cracker jokes lol. Anyone had questions, he answered and was mingling with everyone, approachable to a T. The stuff from ye olden days was lovely, brought back memories for me anyway. Even non railway audience were as quiet as a mouse when Paul was speaking as it was railway but also the war, what was there and all the stuff had a story. A++++++++++++++

fyi dont listen to the bores that moaned about car parks, They played a part as well back in the day, As all the areas did

The tour was interesting and informative of our beautiful central station . Sinead gave us a good insight to what had gone on throughout the years and we got to see parts of the station you can no longer publicly access. The best part for me was seeing a train pass from victorian platform.

Paul our tour guide was the best ever.
Seven months after breaking his neck and back in an accident he is still giving tours imparting his knowledge with humour and infectious enthusiasm.
It was such an interesting tour, both nostalgic and informative. The history of the station is amazing and told by a master of his trade with tales that literally had us all laughing out loud.
If you are considering this tour, l urge you to go ahead and book it, it was a truly fantastic day out.
Thank you Paul.

Brilliant tour. Very informative and great to see the hidden workings of the station and its history! If you are considering this tour, get it booked!
