How it works
You have entered the café, ordered a cappuccino and received it?
Normally that is where the café experience ends: drink, pay, goodbye. At pottery art café the fun is only just beginning: you take a mug from the shelf and reach for the colours of your choice…
Under your hands the ceramic turns into a work of art entirely to your taste.
And for those little inspiration breaks, there is always the cappuccino…
The world of ceramics
With us you paint on unglazed stoneware. The high-quality ceramic is perfectly matched to the paints and the glaze, which always leads to a beautiful result. We are constantly looking for new, lovely shapes and keep expanding our range.
You can choose from more than 200 different shapes:
- Plates
- Mugs
- Teapots
- Cups
- Candle holders
- Flower pots
- Bowls
- Various figurines
- Decorative accessories
- and much more…
You can view some of our ceramic shapes in our online shop. You will find many more in store.
A play of colours
Our paints are developed specifically for underglaze painting. They are food-safe, lead-free, completely non-toxic and wash off hands and clothes easily with water. So they cause no worries at smart occasions and are perfectly suited to small children.
At our colourful paint bar you will find a selection that leaves nothing to be desired:
- More than 120 individual ceramic paint shades
- Effect glazes for the bold
- Background colours for large areas
- Crackle glazes and aids such as wax and liquid rubber
- Effect paints in another 50 beautiful shades

Burn, baby, burn
Once you have finished painting, it is our turn to work. Every piece is treated by hand with the transparent glaze that gives your ceramic its shine and makes the colours glow. Glazed and polished, we hand your piece over to the care of the kiln. The result is a very personal work of art.
Good to know:
- Ceramics are fired at 1000 degrees
- Unpainted areas stay white and glossy after firing
- On request we wrap your piece lovingly as a gift
- Guidelines and sketches (pencil) disappear during firing
- Your pieces are ready for collection after 3 to 7 days
