To the manic ceramics community, it’s been a tough few weeks, my darling husband Andy received an out of the blue diagnosis and passed away 17 days later, the team at Manics have been incredible at keeping us open during such a busy summer period and I wanted to apologise if we haven’t covered all our hours, some people may have turned up to collect pottery painted but we were closed ….. next week we are open Tuesday 10-3, Wednesday 10-3, closed Thursday then open Friday 3-10pm. After that Manics will have new opening hours which I will post as I learn to navigate a new life for me and my 2 dogs. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
