Ceramics Cafe - West Ealing

Discovered this gem of an arts and crafts place only today even though I’ve been local to the area for a long time..My little one who loves her arts and crafts totally fell in love as it has a great collection of items to be painted..The lady managing the Ceramics Cafe - Aleksandra - is super hospitable, welcoming and knowledgeable and made our session so thoroughly enjoyable we actually decided to immediately book to have my little one’s 9th birthday that’s coming up in a few weeks - thank you so much Aleksandra and I would recommend to anyone who wants to have fun and express their artistic skills in this amazing gem! You’ve got yourself a regular now!

We loved our afternoon here, midweek. We had great assistance and were really happy with the outcomes. There were plenty of ceramic types, paint colours and tools (like the handy pens). There was also plenty of space to spend as long as we wanted.

The owner there was so sweet and let us jn without a booking. She even helped us understand how all the prices work and it was such a peaceful and calm time there!!

We have been here few times and my two children find it fun and love going back. The prices are a bit on the high side and we end up paying 30 to 45 per session. However, the place is well stocked with a variety of shapes and a wide range of paint colours. The stock of nibble bottles and permanent pens could be improved but you can always find what you need if you ask. Also great for birthday parties and the staff are very supportive. The website has a lot of information but it is always better checking with the staff regarding the shop policy as they could be really supportive if you have any request.

A very cold winters day….We’re a little disheartened on our first visit to this place- there was no heating or hot water on the day we went. It was like sitting and trying to create in an ice box which isn’t always the best to get the creative juices flowing.We are not sure if there was something that needed fixing as the person in the shop didn’t mention anything.There was limited choice for Christmas and the place looked quite bleak.The quality of some of the pottery pieces seemed cheap as well though the prices were quite high for some things.There was a lot of mums and newborns on the day we went, with the no heating, it didn’t seem a conducive setting for them.Having never been to this place, we were a little surprised there was no guidance at the start especially if we had been newbies also mothers had to do their own baby prints.It wasn’t the best experience we had there though the person who was in charge or working that day seemed nice.Thanks

Had a really good session today. Was a bit confused coming in as we stood by the desk for a while before going downstairs on our own accord to find the person working there to know what to do. Otherwise, had a really pleasant time! Person working there was very helpful. Really nice music and good vibes!

We decided to try Ceramics Cafe as a friend's birthday activity. We are all in our 20's and have previously talked about trying out ceramics painting when we finally found this cute place in West Ealing.The Cafe is a lovely little place, with a wide selection of ceramic products to choose from as your canvas. The equipment available is great, including a big range of colours and brushes you can use to create your piece. I went for a star shaped bowl that I decorated in a floral theme, as I would like to use it as a jewellery box.However, if you come here expecting to only spend around £10, this might not be the ideal activity for you. Most ceramics are from £15 and up £50. My star shaped bowl was £23.50 + £2 session charge.The staff is lovely, and very helpful with tips and instructions that you should listen to get to the most desired outcome for your creation. Putting multiole coats of paint is important!If you are a teenager or young adult and want to try this with a group of friends, I would suggest trying a weekday session if you have the time, as weekends will be filled with children, and the session can get quite noisy. For a family, or if you are an adult looking for an activity to entertain a group of kids, this is perfect. They will surely have lots of fun, and will get their own neat little creation out of this experience.4.7 ⭐

I had an amazing experience when I went to paint my ceramic. When I went to pick up my ceramic, it was not available but one of the men in charge was kind enough to bring it to my home the same day once it was finished. It’s the little things that make such a great service. Thank you so much!

Amazing spot for kids especially for group sessions or just a quick pop in visits.My daughter loves the cafe and is a must visit during half term but can get a bit busy.We will be popping back over Easter to get creative.
