About
Dublin Pottery Painting Studio on Queen Street in Smithfield is a relaxed, beginner-friendly space where families can paint ready-made ceramic pieces in two-hour sessions. Choose from a rotating selection of mugs, bowls, vases and more, then use the studio’s brushes, stamps and tools to decorate your piece. Helpful staff are on hand with ideas, colour tips and simple techniques—ideal for first-timers and school-age children. When you finish, the team will glaze and fire your pottery in the kiln; items are typically ready for collection after a minimum of two weeks, and you’ll receive an email when they’re done (please collect within 30 days). The studio is a short walk from the Smithfield Luas stop and is open seven days with daytime slots that suit younger children. For awareness, the venue allows BYOB after 17:00, so evenings skew more adult and teen; families usually prefer earlier daytime sessions. Overall, it’s a low-pressure, creative outing where kids (and grown-ups) leave with something they designed themselves.
