Doodles is a business concept that would intrigue Dragon’s Den judges but to owners Lucy Evenden and Anna Morris, it’s a project that is pure fun.
The pair launched their mobile pottery painting business two months ago and have taken it on the road to birthday parties and children’s events, as well as to Crowland Abbey and Pinchbeck Carnival.
Lucy, from Pinchbeck, said: “We’re childhood friends who grew up cutting, sticking and making fabulous creative messes together.
“We’ve always wanted to have a little English tea shop, with lots of arts and craft courses, but we realised that children love painting because it’s something they can then keep and the dream of Doodles came from that.
“People can invite us to their birthday party, a retirement home or nursery where we would go and help out.
“They can also ask us to create celebration and gift plates and mugs as a keepsake for capturing your baby’s handprint or footprint.”
Lucy and Anna, from Spalding, are taking their business to Whaplode Drove Village and Country Fair where they hope people will see the fun behind their business concept.
“We went to Spalding High School and the sixth form at Spalding Grammar School together, but we moved away to go to arts college in my case and drama college in Lucy’s case,” Anna said.
“But we found our way back here to be closer to our families and Doodles is something we enjoy doing, so it would be nice to share it with others.”
