5 Paint & Pottery Studios in Powys That You Shouldn't Miss
Wales' spectacular scenic rural heartland, and the site of Brecon Beacons National Park, Powys is a lush land of verdant mountain valleys, craggy caves and quirky towns. The staunchly nationalistic area offers appealing outdoors opportunities. Canter on horseback through the rugged Brecon Beacons mountain range. Walk or cycle the charming valleys. Other draws are commanding Powis Castle near Welshpool and the Centre for Alternative Technology, a sustainable development center, near Machynlleth.

My 7 year old daughter had such a fabulous evening learning to throw a pot with Alex. He is such a patient and fun teacher who coped admirably with her overflowing enthusiasm. She is thrilled that she made bowls and a cup she will be able to use (once they are finished being fired). Highly recommend this experience and next time I will bring the rest of the family and definitely have a go myself.

We are a pagan family run, independent shop. Selling lots of pagan and gothic items. We sell official Alchemy, Nemesis Now and Harry Potter items. You can also find lots of unique quirky gifts and Hand-made Real Gem Jewellery. We started out in 2015 as a small market stall every Saturday in Welshpool Indoor Market. We did have a store in Shrewsbury for a while but we where flooded out in heavy rains. After 9 months in storage we re-opened in Welshpool and it felt like we came home.

I love teaching upholstery in my workshop. My classes are fun, informative and aimed at beginners to advanced level.
