Razzle Dazzle Pots
Booking has changed our lives, well almost, but not going to lie it has changed the way we operate as a business. So with this in mind we now always recommend you booking your table before you arrive. Especially if you intend to come during a busy period such as a Saturday or during a school holiday.
It is very simple to book a table here at Razzle Dazzle - simply click the link that can be found on almost every page on our website or if that is not for you, give us a quick call on 0115 905 6029 during our opening hours of Tuesday to Saturday 10:00am to 5:30pm. We will be more than happy to find you a table at the closest time to when you would like to come.
One challenge that some people find when using the booking app is which table to choose - we recommend clicking the first option on the list which is - Choose Anyone Available - by doing this the app will display the times we have available and then allocate a table. Choosing a specific table can be troublesome and time consuming because the table may already be booked at the time you want to come but many other tables may in fact be available.
Top Tip - remember to double check the date before you press book now.
In the booking form there is the option to write a little note to us, please do! Please let us know how many people will be in your group - this includes both painters and non painters. This is so that we can ensure that you have a table big enough for you all to sit down at. Let us know if you would like to specifically be upstairs or down or if you have a special requirement like a quite space for someone with special needs etc.
During the week, Tuesday to Friday, when it is not a school holiday you should be fine with a walk in. However it does help us plan our day if we know who will be coming to the studio and when.
If you have been a customer from before the pandemic then you will know that we used to operate only on walk ins and we would try or best to fit people in often sharing tables and it being a bit of a squeeze at times. The lockdowns gave us time to rethink and restructure our operation and rethink the layout of the studios. Now with the booking app in place we do our best to give people their own table at a time that is good for them.
Sometimes life happens and you need to cancel your booking or change it to a different time. This can be done from the email that was sent to you at the time of the booking, if you can't find this (sometimes an email typo means you didn't get one) then please contact us either by phone, email or a message through social media. Cancelling your booking in good time means that we are able to offer the table to someone else.
Once a month we have our Adults Only Me Time Evenings. If you haven't heard of this before then read on. Our Me Times are an opportunity for you to come along for a pottery painting session in the evening. The session starts at 6:30pm and we generally kick people out by 9:30pm. Giving you more time to get stuck in to your designs and have a good natter to your friends at the same time.
The evening is very popular so it is vital you book in good time!

Happy Christmas and a Prosperous New Year. See you in 2023
Christmas is coming and we’re all going to get fat, not just the Turkey/Goose/NutRoast 
. So why not come and burn some of your pre Christmas calories being artistic at Razzle Dazzle?! This can be such a fun and relaxing way to make some truly special gifts for your loved ones at Christmas or come to think of it, at anytime. We have lots of lovely items to choose from which would make a perfect gift. Alternatively, why not bring your friends or family along for a treat, relax, create, have fun and build those special memories together.
It's that time of the year again where we are all thinking of what to get someone for Christmas.... Not artistic yourself but your person is? well then.... While not the most exciting thing to wrap up we all know that a Gift Voucher is always a safe bet because the receiver can spend it how they like.
If you would like to purchase vouchers from us then, at the moment, you need to either pop into the studio or give us a call on 0115 905 6029 during opening hours and we can post them out to you. We are looking at getting our website updated so that you will be able to order them online but that is a little while away and not going to be ready for this gift giving season!
If you are more of a 'let's make a special present' kind of person then you will need to get your skates on and book in soon to make that unique gift. Saturday tables are filling up fast and we highly recommend booking if you are wanting to come along to paint. Also it is worth calling the studio to book, especially if it is a bit last minute because we may be able to fit you in in a non standard booking time (perhaps there is a 90 minute slot available but the booking system works on 120 minutes). So even if the online system says no availability give us a call just in case. You never know!
We have one late night session planned for general painting and this is Wednesday 7th December. We will be open until 7pm, so if you can only make it after school this is your day! Please book through the online Book Now option.
If however you are a grown up (in age not necessarily attitude!) then we have our last Me Time of 2022 on Thursday 15th December. There are currently a couple of tables available so if you want to come, get in quick! Remember too that you can make a night of it and bring along your own wine & snacks! We do sell hot and cold drinks too though.
This is the last day that you can paint and your pottery will be fired and ready for you to collect on either Tuesday 20th, Wednesday 21st or Thursday 22nd December. After that we will be closed until Wednesday 4th January 2023. If you want to come in on that day - guess what? Yes book now!
This year we are not going to be open during the 'inbetween', it has been a super busy year and we need a rest, as do our kilns who have been working overtime. However that doesn't mean that you will miss out on some Christmas Holiday painting - why not come in just before we close for the holiday and pick up something to paint at home!
We still do take away kits, all you need to do is pop in at any time (no need to book) and pick up what you would like and we will supply you with the glazes and if you need them even paint brushes. You just need to bring everything back in the new year and we will get it all glazed and fired for you then.
Once again we would both like to thank all of our lovely customers who have made this, our twelfth, year very busy! If you have been in this year and haven't written us a glowing review then please do! Word of mouth is the best form of advertising and if you know someone who would love to come in then please tell them about us!
If you haven't been in for a while - where have you been? We are still here and would love to see you in 2023!
Lots of Love Nichola & Jane xx
Just a really quick email to let you know that we have had a couple of cancellations for Me Time tonight (Thursday 26th) so if you fancy a last minute night out give us a call on 0115 905 6029.
Half term week next week - we are open Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday & Saturday. Closed on Friday for the Jubilee. May half term is historically not as busy as the other holidays but we still recommend booking your table either using the book now option on our website or give us a call. If you decide to risk it on a walk in then we will do our best to find you a table.
The last day to paint a super special gift for your dad is Saturday 11th June. Those items will then be fired and ready for collection by Tuesday 14th June 2022.
