Paint Your Own Pottery Doctor Who Daleks

Paint Your Own Pottery Doctor Who Daleks

This is one piece of Doctor Who merchandise that you wont generally find in the shops.

The Paint your own Daleks are fully licensed pottery replicas or “Bisque’s” of one of the most iconic enemies from Doctor Who. Each item comes with a certificate of authenticity.

These have been available for a few months but as they are not a retail product you may now know about them.

So what’s the idea?

Many towns now have paint your own pottery studio or café’s (you will need to check that they stock these items) where you choose your particular favourite and paint it to your own design. There is generally a fixed charge for each item which includes paint and studio time.

You then leave you finished piece which is then “fired” and picked a few days later. You now have your own unique glazed creation. Most studios can cater for individuals without prior booking however if you wish to hold a “paint party” (what a great way to celebrate a birthday with your fellow fans) you will need to pre book. Some studios even cater for food or if big enough, in home or at work events.
