Paint your own wooden duck in three hours, no experience needed

Paint a wooden duck, pottery piece or wooden item at Arty Boat in Exmouth, a hands-on studio class where you choose the design, apply the paint yourself and take the finished piece home the same day. All paints, brushes and materials are provided, along with a drink and biscuits. Up to three hours. No artistic background required.

The Experience

Arty Boat sits in Exmouth as a working studio where you walk in, pick a wooden duck or pottery piece from the shelf, and spend the next three hours making it yours. You choose the colours, the patterns, the personality. Everything. The studio provides all the paints, brushes, sealers and guidance you need. A friendly instructor is there to help if you get stuck, but most people find the rhythm of it and just paint. A hot or cold drink and biscuits come with your booking, so you can settle in without worrying about the clock.

The wooden ducks are the signature draw here: they're characterful, quirky and small enough to fit in a bag for the journey home. Pottery bowls, plates and other wooden pieces sit alongside them, so if a duck doesn't call to you, something else will. Prices for items to paint start at £12 and run to £35, with wooden ducks typically at £26 and up. You pay for the piece itself when you arrive, after the £5 Viator booking secures your spot. No waiting for kilns or glazing. You walk out with a sealed, finished creation the same day.

The studio is wheelchair accessible and works just as well on a rainy Devon afternoon as it does on a clear one. Families bring children, couples come for a date that doesn't require sitting still, and friends use it as an excuse to make something together without the pressure of skill. The whole point is that there's no right way to do it.

Is this one for you?You paint the piece yourself in a shared studio space with other visitors, so it's a hands-on creative hour rather than watching a demonstration. Choose this if you want to make something with your own hands and walk out with a finished keepsake the same day, without needing any painting experience or artistic skill to start.
