Adult Evenings

Short History compiled from various references.

We use a simple, clean and quick system to take a hand and foot print that is suitable for babies as young as 1 day old! Once we have the prints they are scanned and then blemishes smudges etc are cleaned. We use this image to create your gift from 100's of gifts and keepsakes ideas. From simple framed hand print with name and age, to a hand or foot print turned into a super hero, tractor, elephant, penguin or even Santa. The finished design can then be added onto mugs, plates, tiles or coasters or printed on many other items. The original print can also be used to create solid silver jewellery for him or her. These personalised gifts start from as little as £7.50, and are a perfect for the Christmas Gift Season. We prefer to know when you are visiting us, so we are ready for you but often can take the print without an appointment. Don't hesitate to pop in and ask. You Don't even have to live near or visit us ! For a small fee of £2.95 we can post the kit to you, then you scan the result and email it to back to us. We then chat over the options and items with you, take payment via an email link and the finished item(s) will be posted back to you, so you don't have to be local to us. Finally, we can also scan your existing hand prints, (or you email your existing scanned prints) for example from nursery school paint, or ones you have taken yourself. Results may vary depending on the image, but we usually send a proof and will make sure it is practical to be used before printing.

We can help you, or create Wedding Gifts for you...

During any evening booking, we do not mind you bringing in your own wine, nibbles etc to make the creative evening very sociable and even more fun. Painting your own pottery is not just child's play, but on the other hand, can be as easy as child's play! Even if you feel that you do not have any artistic flair, we will help you create something that you will be proud of here at The Funky Teapot. We class any number as a "group" for approx 2 hours session in the evening, our only requirement is that the "group" spend a minimum of £120. Typically 10-12 people but we can cater for 30+ We will "suggest", "guide", "instruct" or just leave you alone to paint. The comments we get nearly always are something like.. "Wow, that is much better than I expected!" To find out more or make a booking please contact us with our online form.

Using a pencil, draw the patches, then just colour in. You can use solid colours or patterns you know the drill, you are only limited by your imagination and time! Simpler designs can be completed in 30-40 mins, the more complex ones may take a little longer.

Simple design is easy to do and as well as holding your egg creates smiles at the breakfast table. Why not paint a pair as a Wedding Gift for a new Mr & Mrs , perhaps his in "Y" fronts? What about Jeans or Minions, or just nude! Your imagination can create endless possibilities.

We have just added this range of 10 cute Animal Money Boxes to our Pocket Money range of under £10 items. Each one will hold lots of pocket money ready to take on holiday and is fun to paint. Making their own money box "probably" will mean that the children will be more likely to pop in the pocket money. That's the plan anyway, whether it works is open for discussion. The Fun to paint part, is guaranteed!
