Paint your ceramic and take it home immediately after your session. Ideal for day visitors and cruise ship guests.

Good to Know

For the cruise

Comfortable clothing, flat shoes. A light layer — it can be breezy on the water. Sun protection in summer.

For the ceramics

Casual clothing you don't mind getting paint on. Aprons are provided but paint can still catch.

Dolphins

Resident pods in the Strait — sightings on the vast majority of cruises. Wildlife can never be guaranteed.

Getting there

Ocean Village Marina is a short walk or taxi from the town centre. The ceramics studio is under 10 minutes on foot from the marina.

Studio hours

Open until 4:30pm. Last entry 3:30pm.
