We offer a monthly membership for keen non-professional ceramic makers; there are three options. All include basic materials for handbuilding or throwing – stoneware clay, slips and glazes; use of small tools, wheels, workbenches, bats, pressmoulds, shelf space for work in progress, and a small area for storing tools and glazes. You must have at least a basic level of knowledge/experience, for example having attended a course over several weeks, and be able to confidently work independently. While we are happy to answer occasional questions/offer support and help it is self directed. Tuition is available for specific areas- ask us for details.

We have an application form below; please ensure you attach images to your application. We are currently at maximum capacity so if you are applying it may be some time before we respond. When a space comes up we look through all the applications to choose the next member who we feel will be a good fit.

Please note: unfortunately it is not possible to take everyone that applies. Space only comes up from time to time, and we have a limited number of places.

We mix our own range of slips and glazes in the studio, and recycle the clay for you. We are not able to accommodate slipcasting, mouldmaking, or those throwing large amounts/making very big pieces. Please also be aware that there may not always be a wheel available at every session.

Slots are booked in advance through our booking system- each slot is three hours with 5 spaces per session. There is workspace for each person and areas allocated for handbuilding/decorating, throwing and glazing. Your work will be fired for you, and please note we only fire work that is made at the studio, not elsewhere. You are welcome to buy additional commercial glazes/underglazes – we will advise where and what to order as they will need to be compatible with our firing temperatures and clay.

Payment should be set up as a monthly SO or regular payment either on the 1st or the 15th of the month. A months notice is required to leave the membership.
