Get creative and while away a day at Green Frog Pottery in Malvern. Encourage the little ones to flex their creative muscles as they paint their own pottery and once it has been glazed and fired, they can take it home to use. There is a whole host of stencil options for you to choose from as well as some fabulous paint colours.




The average cost for a family of four varies, but pottery prices range from £10.99, with a large selection of items between £12.99 and £18.99.
