Dotty Pottery is a business that was created in 2012 by friends Rebecca Hull and Philippa ‘Pippa’ Mallachowski after the pottery studio they worked in together closed down. Initially starting as a mobile business, Dotty Pottery gained a permanent residence at White House Farm in Rackheath in 2014. The business offers a variety of experiences including ceramic painting, life casting, and hand, foot, and paw printing. They cater to a wide range of customers, from young children to adults, and host events such as ‘sip and paint evenings’, hen parties, and children’s birthday parties.
Throughout its existence, Dotty Pottery has held occasional pop-up events to showcase their products and services. One of their most successful pop-ups was at Wroxham Barns during the summer. Due to their success, the owners were offered a studio on the grounds of Wroxham Barns to continue their business. This opportunity has allowed them to expand their offerings and reach more customers.
One of the key attractions of Dotty Pottery is their personalized Christmas gifts. During the festive season, the business experiences a rush in customers looking to get their babies’ hands and feet printed onto items like baubles and plates for gifts. This has become a popular tradition for many families, as it provides a sentimental and unique touch to their Christmas presents. The owners are anticipating a busy Christmas season and hope to be fully operational by the half term in October.
Overall, Dotty Pottery has become a beloved business in its community, providing a creative outlet for people of all ages. With its wide range of offerings and special events, it continues to attract customers from all walks of life. The business’s success has led to permanent residencies and expansion opportunities, ensuring its continued growth and presence in the market. As it looks ahead to the upcoming Christmas season, Dotty Pottery is excited to continue providing their unique and personalized services to their loyal customers.
