Join us for a private ceramic painting workshop in the heart of Hackney, where you’ll personalise and paint your very own cat bowl. It’s a lovely way to unwind, meet fellow cat lovers, and support Cats Protection.

Paint and personalise your own cat bowl, go wild with colour, and create the perfect gift for a cat (or dog!) you know and love. While you paint, mingle with fellow cat lovers in our private painting studio and enjoy a little treat on us, with skincare goodies kindly donated by Tropic Skincare.

Join us for an afternoon of creative fun to support cats and kittens in the local area!

Join us at Carb Club for a relaxed, pottery-painting workshop where you’ll design your very own cat bowl. No experience needed, you definitely don’t have to be Picasso to get involved!

You’ll be painting in a private studio, giving you plenty of space to unwind, get creative, and paint your masterpiece. The event starts at 11am and we expect to be finishing around 1pm  

Each guest will receive one pottery piece to paint and take home, kindly supplied by our friends at Cromartie Hobbycraft and Potclays. As a little extra treat, every guest will also receive a skincare gift, thanks to the generous support of Tropic Skincare.

Best of all, your ticket helps support Cats Protection, with all profits going directly to the charity.

How do I get there?

Carb Club is a three-minute walk from London Fields Overground and around a 20-minute walk from Bethnal Green Underground. There are also plenty of nearby bus routes, and street parking is free at weekends if you’re driving

What if I don’t want to paint a cat bowl?

We’ll have limited availability of alternative bisques if you’d prefer not to paint a cat bowl. Please get in touch before booking to make sure we can accommodate your request.

Will there be food?

Coffee and refreshments will be available to purchase at the venue. Please note the venue is card-only

When can I collect my masterpiece?

Your personalised pottery will be ready to collect two to three weeks after the event, once it’s been kiln-fired and glazed to perfection

Can I take photos?

Yes of course you can! Cats Protection volunteers will be taking photos and video content on the day which will be used by Cats Protection for promotional purposes. We will assume you consent to this however if you’d prefer not to be included, just let a volunteer know on the day and we’ll make sure you’re not featured.

What age is this event for?

This event is 18+

How we're helping cats in the London area

In London, Cats Protection has made remarkable strides, successfully rehoming 1,700 cats, and neutering over 2,000 cats and kittens in the area in 2025, thereby preventing even more unwanted cats being born. The Cats Protection vision is a society where every cat has their best possible life because they are protected, cared for and understood by everyone. We are very grateful for you taking the time to consider supporting Cats Protection London to help us achieve this vision.
