Rache is in London town for the last time in a long while as she is soon heading to start a new life in Canada. We are going to miss her terribly but I was happy that she had the time to spend at least another day with us before she headed off. We were trying to think of something a little bit different to do and with the weather being a bit dodge it kind of limited our options a bit. However, Rache and Emma came up with a brilliant idea to hit Arts4fun. They have various venues around London but the basic premise is that we could paint our own ceramics, get it fired up and then have a cool piece of art or whatever to take away with us.

The only drawback was that there was a hen party that came in about halfway through our time there – and they were very loud and just a little bit disruptive.

At Arts4fun you can paint as many pieces as you want – you pay a set fee to use the facilities and then a price per piece. You do have to leave your pieces behind to be fired, however, so you should ensure you have the opportunity to come back and pick your art again. Alternatively they have postage service.

Oh, and if you’re worried you’re not creative enough to play they have plenty of templates on hand for tracing or painting over and the staff are very helpful with ideas on how you can paint your piece.

What a fantastic way to spend a couple of hours on! It was very cool indeed and, in spite of the hen party, was a great way to relax, chat and just generally chill out.
