BUSINESS DESCRIPTION
Café and Ceramics Studio in Town Centre Location
Ref.AC297
Location Bournemouth
Asking Price £ 50,000
This is a unique style café and ceramics studio. Paint Your Own Pottery Studio concept has been around for about ten years. During this time it has become a very popular pastime and continues to be a favourite business to own. Formally part of a franchise this ceramics café now operates independently.
The concept is simple: the studio has tables and chairs laid out like a modern café where the customers sit and decorate pottery. The café also offers a wide range of snacks and beverages for 55 covers.
The Café also provides unglazed, undecorated pottery, called “bisque” ready to be painted. Customers use special ceramic paints to paint their own designs, when finished the studio staff apply the glaze over the design ready to be fired in the kiln to change it into real glazed pottery. The pottery side of the business caters very well to schools, and groups of people wishing to make their own pottery or even paint a ready made item.
This business also has a retail section for customers to buy the ready made and decorated pottery, in addition they offer a special service whereby a customer can commission a piece of work which would be a one off unique piece. Staffs are on hand to give friendly help and advice throughout the process. Customers come back to the studio in a few days to collect their fired ceramic piece and may be tempted to have another go!
