Hello
The Spotty Dog Place is a cute shop based in the historical town of Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire. Our team offer Pottery and Glass Fusing workshops. Sessions included wheel throwing, clay hand building and paint your own pottery & glass fusing. We are also delighted to work collaboration with artist and tutor, Dave Short (Finalist from The Great Pottery Throw Down 2024) who runs a variety of pottery sessions.
We also sell beautiful handmade gifts, bespoke baby prints in both clay and on pottery & if you are looking for something unique and personal, then our commission pieces are a perfect choice too.
