Pottery painting studio based in Seaham, offering pottery painting parties, 3d castings, commissions and fingerprint/handprint fine silver jewellery.No booking required for groups of six or less. This is a great place to meet friends and enjoy a creative activity together. Prices start from £1.50 and all pieces are professionally glazed and fired and ready for collection within for days.
Had a lovely relaxing afternoon at the studio in August with my 6 year old and newborn son. We enjoyed it so much we’ve now done a couple of the takeaway kits at home too which we love doing. Something a bit different for us to do together with the added bonus of having a keepsake at the end of it. Really good value when visiting the studio or when completing at home and the kits include everything you’d need. Highly recommended ????

Interesting history of glass and fascinating exhibition in gallery. We were staying in Newcastle and travelled by metro to Sunderland. When walking back to Metro station we passed St Peter's church which is Saxon. We went in and were treated to a guided tour. Fascinating. We then walked past The Museum and decided to call in. Found it was a football museum. Again were treated to a guided tour. It is well worth a visit.

NELSAM (formerly NEAM), features not only military aircraft and vehicles but also many civil examples. There is a Mk1 Trident being restored back to its original glory, ex-Blackpool trams in their own specialised building and a great collection of military vehicles from the former Military Vehicle Museum in Newcastle are now on display here. The museum holds special events during the year and there are "Ghost Walks" held at weekends (but you MUST book there in advance as they sell out quite quickly). The museum is well worth a visit, but please plan your visit for around 2-3 hours so that you can see everything on offer. Nelsam is run by volunteers so access to the Vulcan, Trident and some other displays is subject to the availability of our members to ensure your safety. We have a small shop selling confectionery, cold drinks, a hot drinks machine, a large selection of plastic model kits, some Die-cast Collectors items and Museum specific souvenirs all at reasonable prices(very useful if you are looking for a gift for Birthdays or Christmas). We look forward to seeing you.
Fantastic displays of incredibly important pieces of history. The new layout is extremely visitor friendly, and there's just about something for everyone, from a WW1 fighter, to the iconic Spitifre, through to Cold War jets, military vehicles, helicopters, and even trams and buses. The recent addition of a WW2 RAF rescue lifeboat ensures that truly land, sea and air vehicles are all covered. The dedication of the museum and restoration team shows through the quality of the exhibits. NELSAM is simply a great visitor experience.
