A new shop that invites artistic children and adults to paint their own pottery has opened on Burnham’s seafront this week.
Purrr-fect Pottery, which is sited next to Sunspot Amusements, is the idea of Highbridge crafts enthusiast Anya Burridge.
She had the idea of letting people choose a piece of pottery, paint it and then allow it to be sent away for glazing and firing in an industrial kiln before collecting it.
Pottery prices range from £5-£20 and include plates, mugs and money boxes, as well as children’s items such as penguins and teddies in a variety of colours.
Anya said: “It’s a fun shop for children and adults to create colourful pottery.”
“It’s something very different that is proving popular with tourists and local residents alike. They can let their imaginations run wild.”
Our photos show some of the customers who have visited the shop this week, including 19 month old Honey (top) with mum Chloe and Anya; and (right) Bethanie, 6, and Ethan, 4.
The new shop is open from 10am until late throughout the summer months and can be contacted on 07739 740816.
