Memberships and Studio Access (independent practice)

Designed for independent makers. Studio membership (contracted) and Studio Access (PAYG) are perfect for potters who want regular time and access to facilities to work on their own projects.  If you’re ready to move beyond classes and build a regular practice, both options provide the space to do that.
 

Members can access the studio 7 days per week. Studio Access is usually available Monday to Friday, subject to staff working hours.
Everything is included in the price. There’s no need to source materials, no unexpected extras, and no interruptions to your process. You can come in, get straight to work, and focus entirely on making.
 

Who Are Memberships and Studio Access For

Available to:

• Students who have completed our 6-week Introduction to Pottery course or Progression Course within the last 4 weeks.

• If you have taken lessons or completed study elsewhere,

• Intermediate or advanced potters

A studio induction is required for all users and, if new to the studio, an informal assessment of experience may be needed to ensure you are confident using materials, tools, and equipment safely.
 

Memberships are not suitable for those who have only worked with air-dry clay, as it differs significantly from kiln-fired ceramics in both materials and processes
