Our studio memberships
Pottery memberships are great for potters with experience who are looking for a space to practice independently. We recommend that you have completed at least 2 of our 6-week throwing foundations courses (or similar at another studio) in order that you have a good understanding of ceramic processes before embarking on independent practice.
What’s included?
15 hours per week access to the studio
A free 30 minute studio induction
Use of our 7 Shimpo Whisper RK-3D wheels
Use of our studio tools and equipment for throwing and/or hand building
Unlimited use of our 8 studio dipping glazes
Bisque and gloss kiln firings (subject to our fair usage policy)
Your own private storage crate, to keep your own apron, tools, and materials (43x31x30cm)
Your own shelf for storing your work-in-progress
Additional communal member clay storage area
Choice of bagged studio clays (12.5KG) available to purchase direct at £18-22 per bag
Tea and Coffee
Membership hours
Our studio is open to members from 6am to 11pm, 7 days per week, with the exception of our teaching slots. Our weekly teaching slots (during which the studio is closed to members) usually look something like this:
Monday 18:30 - 21:00
Tuesday 10:00 - 12:30
Wednesday 18:30 - 21:00
Saturday 11:00 - 14:00*
*We run taster classes one Thursday evening and 3 Saturday mornings per month.
Not quite ready to practice independently?
We also offer an assisted membership for those who need a little help and support into independent practice. These transitional memberships will help you bridge the gap between classes and independent practice, as you’ll book scheduled hours each week in the studio with a teacher or technician, to ask plenty of questions and get help where needed.
