Razzle Dazzle Pots
This post is just to touch base with all our valued customers with an attempt to make sure you all know what is going on with us here at Razzle Dazzle over the second lockdown period.
In summary we are closed until we are able to open again, which we hope will be at the beginning of December. We will send out another post when we have confirmation of a definite date.
We were hoping to do Take away kits as a click and collect or delivery service but we are now not going to do this. We will instead stay at home and do our bit to stop the spread of the virus.
The booking system is still open for dates after the 2nd December. We are hoping that December will be super busy with people excited about painting things to make Christmas 2020 a special one. It is our suggestion that you book now to ensure you can get a table. Knowing that you are all desperate to come in again will mean a few things to us:
We do ask though that you remember to confirm in the note section of the booking that you are from one household and also - and this is important - if you are planning to paint a bauble. (like the ones below) This will help us a little with our stock levels!
We will of course contact you to rearrange bookings if dates are different.
All items that you are waiting to collect will be kept safe and you will be able to collect them in December. Even if we aren't able to open, we will find a way! Anything taken away to paint at home please keep it safe and bring it back for firing when we are open again.
Finally we just want to wish everyone well, stay safe and see you in December. (fingers, toes, legs and arms crossed!)
All our love Jane & Nichola
What was it we said yesterday? Things are constantly changing and we are making it up as we go along....
In light of the guidance from the Government about reducing non-essential travel and also the support they are offering for staying closed - we have decided to stay closed fully from Thursday 5th November and *HOPEFULLY re-open on the 3rd December. This means that we WILL NOT be offering the Take Home Kits like we had planned, after Wednesday.
So if you do want to order something then please get it ordered right away. We will do deliveries over the next two days if you are unable to get to us and we are open Tuesday and Wednesday for the following.
Once again we would like to thank you all for supporting us now and in the future. See you all, we hope in December!
Lots of virtual hugs Jane & Nichola
PS We have a Christmas Decoration Gallery on the website now!
*If we can open in December we will!
It seems that we have to post every week about some change to our business operations.... No one can say that life in 2020 is straightforward and boring!
Like all businesses small and not so small we need customers and we really appreciate all of you. We have had a busy couple of weeks over half term with lots of smiling faces and we had hoped to continue the trend right up until Christmas. However a spanner has been thrown into the works and we are thinking on our feet again! All the pottery painted over that period is fired and ready for collection on Tuesday & Wednesday. After that please call ahead and we will arrange to have your items ready for you at the door. We will keep you updated on any changes we have to make to our opening hours.
If you would like to come in to paint your Christmas decorations, gifts for family members or just have some me time then you have two days. Tuesday 3rd and Wednesday 4th November, we will then close our doors to customers in the studio reopening on the 3rd December. Go online to book a time. For these two days and if there is enough demand we will stay open until 7pm. For same day bookings you need to call the studio on 0115 905 6029.
Remember all the Tier 3 rules still apply so you do need to be a single household or support group.
We know that this time of the year is all about the decorations so over the next couple of days we will update the Take Away page with the Christmas decorations we currently have in stock. As a bonus feature we are looking at making an online shop so you will be able to order and pay for them straight from the website. The choice available will change as we receive new ones into the studio so check back regularly. In the mean time use the order form on the website and we will call you and go through your choices with you. We will be operating a variation of our opening hours during the November Lockdown so please confirm our opening hours before setting out.
Once again Thank you for being our fantastic customers.
As Nottinghamshire is now in Tier 3 of the Governments strategy for bringing down the number of Covid cases and ultimately casualties we here at Razzle Dazzle Pots have sought and received confirmation from Gedling Borough Council that we can remain open for the time being.
Our Covid secure procedures have been in place now since July and moving into Tier 3 we now have a few minor amendments. The latest tweak is that now you are required to keep your face mask on at all times whilst in the studio. Both moving around and whilst sitting at your table. Obviously those people who are exempt from wearing one are still exempt! Our staff members also wear a face mask whilst moving around in the studio.
Our procedures are a process of give and take with you our customers. Below is a reminder of this relationship and how we can work together to keep our little business open.
As we move out of October into November we will be transitioning from Halloween to Christmas. Over the next few weeks we will be highlighting all the lovely Christmas decorations and ornaments we will have in stock for you to paint and then display in your homes. Here are a few great tea lights that we have out at the moment. These were painted recently by our talented customers.
