Based in South Kilworth, Leicestershire
Welcome to Little Rainbow Ceramics, a friendly pottery print studio nestled in the peaceful village of South Kilworth, just 10 minutes from M1 Junction 20 and 15 minutes from M6 Junction 1.
We specialise in creating beautifully crafted, personalised ceramic keepsakes, capturing precious baby and toddler handprints, footprints and pet paw prints. We also offer pottery painting classes, children's birthday parties, pop-up events and creative experiences for all ages.
We run events in both St Albans, Market Harborough and their surrounding villages. Whether you're celebrating a new arrival, searching for a thoughtful personalised gift or enjoying some creative time with loved ones, we're here to help you capture those special moments.
How it works…
-
Pre-arranged events, all you need to do is book online and turn up on the day…
Check below to see all the upcoming events.
Secure your place by booking via the website.
For some events a £5 deposit is required at the time of booking - this is the studio fee which covers all the paints and equipment used and our professional glazing and firing of your items to ensure a fantastic, high-quality result.
Turn up on the day and choose the piece of pottery you would like to paint. Prices currently range from £15 - £40.
You will have up to 2 hours to get creative, designing and painting.
After the session we take your pottery away to glaze and fire.
You will receive an email when your finished creation is ready to collect. This is usually around two to three weeks later.

Suitable for all ages and furry friends. Great for creating personalised gifts and keepsakes for loved ones…
Contact us directly to arrange a date, time and location to have your chosen prints made. We can either come to you (minimum spend required and location dependent) or you can visit us at our home studio or one of our pop-up events.
We will discuss your requirements which ensures everything we need to create your perfect prints is available on the day.
You have two options for creating prints:
Option 1) prints made with paint onto a ceramic item such as a plate or mug
Option 2) imprints, which is when the hand, foot or paw is pressed directly into wet clay
We take the prints away and add any finishing touches you have requested. The items are then glazed and fired.
You will receive an email when your finished ceramics are ready for collection. Painted prints are usually ready for collection in two to three weeks and imprints can take around 6 weeks as the clay needs time to dry first.
Note: If you require your imprints to be professionally framed then the lead time is likely to be longer.

Get creative whilst celebrating! Suitable for all ages and abilities…
Contact us directly to arrange any specific requirements and to confirm the date and time of your pottery party. A £100 deposit will need to be paid in advance to secure your booking.
We suggest you invite 8-10 adults or children to your party, but there is no minimum number. Please note that we require a minimum spend of £150 on pottery per party.
We will arrive 30 mins before your party to set up the room.
Guests just need to turn up on the day and choose the piece of pottery they would like to paint. (Prices currently range from £15 - £40).
Your guests will have up to 2 hours to get creative, designing and painting. Longer parties can be arranged for an additional cost.
After the session has ended we tidy up and take the pottery away to glaze and fire.
You will receive an email when your party’s finished creations are all ready and to arrange drop off/collection to you. This is usually around two to three weeks later.

Are your paints safe and how messy does it get?
All our paints are water based, they are non-toxic, food safe, and they wash off yourself or clothes very easily.
What age does my child need to be to have a personalised print created?
For hand and footprints made with paint onto a ceramic item such as a plate or mug.
Footprints can be done from newborn but we we recommend that you wait until your little one is older than 8 months if you want handprints done. Babies like to curl their hands into a fist shape after the paint has been applied which can make it difficult to get a good print.
Imprints, which is when the hand, foot or paw is pressed directly into wet clay
These can be done for babies of any age.
