Keeping you safe...
The Hatch opening hours during lockdown -

Due to lockdown we have had to close our doors for pottery painting on our premises however, we are still bringing the Minikin experience to your home by bringing you Minikin at home kits and taking clay impressions onsite. We have a selection of kits that can be brought back to be kiln fired and others that do not need to be brought back. They can be shipped UK and Ireland wide. You can find these on the shop section of this website. Our Hatch continues to be open to collect finished pottery, paint at home kits or to enjoy one of our tasty treats!
