Doodles began as a ceramics studio in 1999 and has operated continuously since then, making it the longest-established pottery workshop in Edinburgh. The building was originally designed as an art space for hands-on work rather than public display. Located in The Meadows, it retains its simple layout with natural light during daytime hours. Noise levels are low, crowd density moderate, perfect for individuals or small family groups looking to relax and make something. Sessions are beginner-friendly, welcoming all skill levels.

At Doodles, you spend two hours painting ceramic pieces and finishing them in sessions that have run since 1999. These hands-on workshops are most popular during weekday afternoons or for private group bookings. With tea and coffee on offer, locals use the space to pause between meetings and reconnect with making things by hand. The relaxed setting remains consistent year-round.
