The staff were brilliant at doing a handprint & footprint on the baubles and were so friendly, keeping my daughter entertained whilst I did some painting. I went midweek when it was quieter so there was space for the pram but at peak times, there would be limited space. Also worth noting that there is a toilet but no baby change facilities, but this was not a problem for us. Price-wise I thought it was decent; £16 for a medium bauble + £5 kiln fee per item. I definitely will be returning in the future! · via Google [Danielle Lakatosz](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/115919947198330507632/reviews) ★★★★★ Very great place with a wide variety of ceramics to paint and even do clay sessions where you can make your own ceramic on certain days !!! I always recommend calling to book especially for a weekend as they get so busy !! · via Google [Archie Seymour](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/115177174804245099593/reviews) ★★★★★ Absolutely wonderful experience at Ceramics on the hop. It’s a really lovely space that is welcoming in so many ways. There are plenty of different pieces to choose from for pottery painting, and everything is extremely affordable overall :) there is something for everyone. Claire was extremely welcoming and happy to help and provide advice for the pieces during our session, which was very helpful - and went the extra mile to make sure that our needs were accommodated for. · via Google [K GS](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/104484070679889487328/reviews) ★★★★★ Whenever I feel arty, wanting to do some active by a duck pond & a fish & chips place, I will meet this. It is such a beautiful place too, with some walls decorated of some their organized pottery ready to be painted. The staff are also nice to us. Not to mention, we are supplied with some empty palletes & some water to get started with. · via Google [See all reviews on Google →](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m4!3m3!1s0x47d8eb0742ba4207:0xc377458de5e34dec!9m1!1b1?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) ## At a glance **Address** 2 Rumsey Row, Writtle, Chelmsford, CM1 3YA [Get directions](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=51.7313631%2C0.4266471) **Category** Pottery & Ceramic Painting **Guest rating** 4.9 / 5 (79 reviews) **Suitable for** All Ages **Setting** Indoor **Destination** Writtle [More attractions in Writtle](https://staycation.co.uk/writtle/attractions) ★ 4.9 (79 reviews) [Visit official website](https://www.ceramicsonthehop.com?utm_source=staycation.co.uk&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=attraction) [01245 421996](tel:01245421996) (please mention staycation.co.uk when calling) ### Quick Facts **Destination** Writtle **Postcode** CM1 3YA **Payment** Cards, Contactless **Plus Code** 9F32PCJG+GM [Directions ↗](https://www.google.com/maps/dir//''/data=!4m7!4m6!1m1!4e2!1m2!1m1!1s0x47d8eb0742ba4207:0xc377458de5e34dec!3e0?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) [More photos on Google ↗](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m3!3m2!1s0x47d8eb0742ba4207:0xc377458de5e34dec!10e5?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) [Write a review ↗](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m3!3m2!1s0x47d8eb0742ba4207:0xc377458de5e34dec!12e1?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) ### 🏨 Places to stay near Writtle Hotels, B&Bs and self-catering on Booking.com, with live prices.
