At Tonnta, creativity flows like waves. We’re Blackrock’s pottery painting studio, a place where you can relax, paint and create something uniquely yours.

How it works

Choose your piece, from mugs and bowls to vases, plates and more. Paint your design with our wide range of colours and tools. Leave it with us, we’ll glaze and fire your piece, ready for you to collect around 2 weeks later.

Our Studio is designed to be social, inspiring and fun. Come on your own for some mindful me time, book with friends for a catch up, or gather a group to celebrate, date night or a team event. You can even bring your own drinks and make it a real celebration.

At Tonnta, there’s no pressure, just a welcoming space to play with colour, spark your imagination and ride the creative wave.

Who is it for?
