Paint, Pizza & Puddleducks at Cattivo Pizza in Tewkesbury is an easygoing, two-hour creative night that pairs hands-on craft with honest, stonebaked food. Hosted by Paint Pot Parties Ltd on Wednesday evenings, the workshop invites visitors to paint their own wooden duck ornament while an artist provides step-by-step guidance. The meeting point is Cattivo Pizza, Old Kennels, Cirencester, and the session runs from 7–9pm for a relaxed, social atmosphere. Set in the transportable warmth of a wood-fired pizza kitchen, the workshop highlights are simple: a blank wooden duck, full art materials, tips from an experienced instructor, and a 12" stonebaked pizza included with your ticket. That tidy bundle—craft, conversation, and comfort food—makes this more than a DIY class; it's a low-pressure evening for beginners or seasoned dabblers who want to make something personal without fuss. The Tewkesbury setting adds character. Located near the confluence of the River Severn and Avon and a short drive from the town's medieval abbey, the workshop sits within a community where hands-on trades and seasonal markets remain part of daily life. Bring a friend, join solo, or sign up with family—the minimum age is 12, and sessions attract a mix of locals and visitors seeking a friendly midweek escape. Practicalities are uncomplicated: tickets include everything you need to complete and take home your duck, materials are provided, and the artist will help with color choices and finishing techniques. Expect to sit at shared tables, work at your own pace, and eat between brushstrokes—Cattivo's oven keeps pizza coming as you paint. Why book this experience? It's a compact, well-run local activity that doubles as a keepsake workshop and a taste of Tewkesbury's convivial dining scene. For travelers who appreciate small-group creativity and want an accessible indoor evening option—especially on wetter spring or autumn nights—this event delivers a memorable, simple craft that fits into a broader exploration of the area's riverside walks, historic streets, and independent eateries. Spaces are limited, and advance booking is recommended. Paint Pot Parties Ltd runs the session with clear timings and an emphasis on inclusivity and fun. Whether you're hunting for a unique souvenir, planning a casual date night, or looking for a creative family outing, this wooden duck painting evening at Cattivo Pizza is an inviting slice of local life and hands-on craft. Tickets are priced at £40 and include the wooden duck, all paints and brushes, guidance from the instructor, and a 12-inch stonebaked pizza—everything you need to leave with a finished keepsake. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to settle in; wear clothes that can handle a splash of paint. Sessions are family-friendly for ages 12 and up, and completed ducks are ready to take home the same evening. Bring friends.
