Pottery Painting with Puppies!
What could be better than spending a creative afternoon pottery painting in a beautiful studio? Pottery painting with puppies, of course! As well as an overdose of cuteness, any disappointment in artistic endeavours can always be blamed on the tiny paws!! It’s a win-win situation! We have secured exclusive use of an area of the studio for the duration of the afternoon and hot drinks are served at the cafe for the ultimate wholesome indoor afternoon.
Places are limited due to studio size so book early to secure your place!

Nowruz at Qashqai: Celebrating Spring Together
Nowruz ( the Persian New Year), is celebrated on the first day of spring in many countries around the world from Albania to India, from Russia to Iran. Nowruz, just like Christmas, is less about big parties and more about a shared sense of renewal, a moment to pause, reflect, and welcome a fresh start. Traditions like the Haft-Seen table, with symbolic items representing growth, health, and hope, make it a warm and meaningful celebration even for those experiencing it for the first time. At its heart, Nowruz is about togetherness, kindness, and beginning the year with good energy.
