About us
Welcome to Little Yellow Hedgehog, Braintree’s friendly and creative pottery painting studio where imagination comes to life. We offer a relaxed, welcoming space for all ages to get creative. Whether you’re planning a party, enjoying a day out with the kids, or just looking for something fun and mindful to do.
At our studio, you can paint a wide range of ceramics including figurines, plates, mugs, lanterns, oil burners, butter dishes, and more. It's the perfect activity for families, groups, or anyone who loves getting hands-on with creativity.
We host birthday parties, hen dos, group sessions, and special events like adult-only painting evenings. You can even take the fun home with our takeaway pottery kits – great for creative nights in! Paint in your own time and then simply drop them off to our studio to be fired in our kiln!
You can also create personalised keepsakes using handprints, footprints or even paw prints — ideal for gifts or lasting memories. Our studio proudly works with youth groups, disability support organisations, and clubs like the Stargazing Club.
And don’t miss our Painter of the Month competition – where every entry has a chance to win a prize in our monthly raffle!
Come and see what you can create at Little Yellow Hedgehog a place where creativity, community, and a splash of colour come together.
