Good Morning !
I just realised that I have been so busy thinking about February Half Term, putting posts out on social media, ordering in new stock and also making a lot of new stock too that I had forgotten to put out a post to our lovely customers.
Well here I am now. So what have we been up to this last couple of months and what is coming up?
If you have school age children they you will know that it is Half Term in Nottingham next week. So if you are thinking about some interesting and creative activities to do with them then be sure to book yourselves in for a session at Razzle Dazzle!
Tables are filling up but at the moment there are still plenty to be had, especially later in the day, so arriving around 3.30pm or 4pm. For a 4pm arrival you will need to call or message as the booking system has 3.30pm as the last arrival time. This is because it is set up for a two hour session, but one & half hours is normally long enough.
We have got the adult only Me Time evening dates all sorted out now. So if you would like to come along without the kids for a relaxing few hours with a friend or two then pop over to the website to see the dates and book yourselves in. The next one is the 24th February 2022. On these evenings you can also have a "Play with Clay' option. If you are interested in finding out more then please get in touch. (we do not have a pottery wheel so no throwing here)
We have a few new things in the studio and also some things that haven't been in for a while. We have been busy manufacturing some of our own items. Our suppliers are still playing catch up with overseas deliveries but it seems like things are getting back to normal. Which is relief not just for our industry but everyone else too.
For some, me included this has become one of those subjects we are quite frankly sick of talking about! However, just so you know we are keeping the spaced out tables and we have hand sanitiser on the tables. If you want to wear a face mask whilst here feel free. Our staff are not required to and do not.
Thanks for reading all the way to the end! See you soon, Jane (& Nichola too)
Good Morning Pottery fans
Pottery painting for Christmas 2021 is already in full swing here at Razzle Dazzle, if you haven't got yours done yet don't delay, book your session now.
Here are a few important notes and dates for you to consider.
If you want to paint something to have back for Christmas the very last day to do this is Tuesday the 21st December. These items will be fired and ready for you to collect on Thursday 23rd December. Please don't leave it until the last minute! We will then be closed on the 24th, 25th, 26th, 27th & 28th December (Friday - Tuesday)
Over the last few days we have had a few phone calls asking for Sunday sessions, in response to this we have added two Sundays to our opening schedule. These are the 5th and the 19th December.
These have now been added to the calendar and can be booked on line. If you are a large group please book enough tables to seat you all. If in doubt please give us a call on 0115 905 6029 during regular opening times (Tue - Sat 10-5:30)
The last day to collect your painted items is Thursday 23rd December 2021. We will be closed for a few days and then open with shorter hours on Wednesday 29th, Thursday 30th and Friday 31st December. If there are no bookings on a specific day or time we will close early so please, if you wish to come on any of those days book in now.
After that we will again be closed for a few days.
The studio will be back open for bookings on Thursday 6th January 2022. We look forward to seeing you again in 2022.
We all like to get a bit more for our money, having a free thing too sweetens the experience. With this in mind we are running a little offer here at Razzle Dazzle Pots. We are eleven years old this October. Some of you have been with us since the start and some are new to the pottery painting experience. We love you all!
Over the Half Term period if you spend £20 in the studio on other pottery item someone gets to paint a pumpkin or candy skull hanger (worth £8) for free. We aren't even going to limit it to one per family so if you spend £40 you can paint two! Naturally it is whilst stocks last.
To qualify for this spooky deal, just quote 11th Birthday at the till and we will do the rest.
We really do hope that it will be busy, in the past it has been and we can see no reason why this year will be different. This being the case we highly recommend that you direct yourselves over to the booking page and get your table reserved now. In the past we used to squeeze people in anywhere we could but with the changes to the table layouts and Covid restrictions we are now keeping bookings to their own tables and not mixing things up.
Why not get ahead of the game and get those personalised presents done in good time. We also have some Christmas stock out in the studio...
Just a quick post to let you know that we are closed for a few days - Tuesday 30th August to Friday 3rd September 2021.
Anything painted during w/c Tue 24th August will be available for collection from Saturday 4th September. If you can't remember the dates please just give us a call. Our number is 0115 905 6029
Autumn 2021
Once we get back we will be sorting out all of the Halloween and Christmas themed pottery, so look out for these items when you are here next.
Our medium sized pumpkins are made here in the studio and cost £30 however if you would like a custom face cutting or a personalised name then please get in touch during September. Once we have your idea we will see what we can do! There is a small additional £5 fee for the personalisation.
Good Planning
Christmas presents mean so much more when they are personal. With this in mind get your self organised and plan ahead. Bring the children in to paint something lovely for their grandparents or come in and do those baby prints in good time. Don't leave it till the last minute.
We have over ten years experience taking baby prints and are always more than happy to help you with them. We will even do the writing too if you like! The cost is always just down to the items of pottery you choose. There is no additional fee for us helping you.
Please share this information with any new parents you know!
Thanks and see you soon.
