    POTTERY PAINTING — DROP IN

    Pick a piece, grab a brush and get painting. Drop in to The Art House any time during café hours — no experience needed. Eastbourne's most popular drop-in creative activity, and one you'll want to come back to. We'll glaze and fire your pottery and have it ready in 1–2 weeks.

  • POTTERY PAINTING EVENINGS

    The Art House opens its doors three evenings a week, Thursday to Saturday, for some of Eastbourne's most relaxed nights out. Paint pottery over prosecco and cake, enjoy a proper spread of pasta, pizza and charcuterie alongside your creative session, or simply settle in with a glass of wine and a gorgeous sharing board. Whatever kind of evening you're after, there's a spot for you here.
