Build a business that inspires.
Own a Social Pottery studio in your city. A proven model with five studios since 2017, £100k+ annual earning potential, and our first franchise already open and thriving in Balham. No art background required. We bring the playbook, you bring the city.
Pottery is the medium. Connection is the purpose.
Accessible, guided creative experiences for every skill level: pottery painting, hand-building and wheel throwing.
A social hub where people gather to create, connect and celebrate together, relationships, not one-off transactions.
Hands-on making is proven to reduce stress and boost wellbeing, an offer people feel good returning to.
Daytime painting, BYOB evenings, tasters, courses and memberships keep customers coming back.
Social Pottery draws its spirit from the Italian way of life: studios designed to feel like a neighbourhood piazza: welcoming, unhurried and full of warmth. That philosophy shapes everything from studio design to customer experience.
