Ceramic painting workshop

Celebrate spring with us at the North Sea Observatory with a fun family craft. Drop in to decorate an egg-shaped ceramic bird feeder or house, and add colour to your garden while helping wildlife.

  • Booking not needed

This spring, gather the whole family for a creative crafting session at the North Sea Observatory. Join us to decorate an egg-shaped ceramic bird feeder or house, perfect for little artists, nature lovers, and anyone who enjoys a splash of colour.

Using porcelain pens, you can add your own unique designs, from bright patterns to nature-inspired doodles. Once finished, take your masterpiece home and hang it in the garden, creating a welcoming space for birds while adding a personal touch to the outdoors.

No experience is required, just bring your enthusiasm, and we’ll provide everything you need. This is a relaxed, drop-in activity for all ages, supported by our friendly National Trust volunteers. A wonderful way to celebrate the season and do something special for our feathered friends.
