A pottery workshop in Deptford is no different to a bike workshop in Brixon. We all thrive on skill excellence, democratic principles and communities we create. It is a pleasure for us to support Brixon Cycles in their campaign to fundraise after a difficult end of 2023. We encourage our customers, guests and visitors to support this brilliant cooperative, and be part of their 40+ year journey serving communities in London.
Save the date! Our annual open studios wil be on 2-3 December. We will have displays of pottery and sculpture for sale, technique demonstrations and festive treats. Can’t wait to celebrate winter season with you.
20 makers from the studio will have stalls with ceramics for sale.
We will have mulled wine, mulled juice and other treats for our visitors.
Demonstrations and experiences tbc.
Welcome to our pottery studio in the heart of London. We are delighted to introduce our newest addition, a state-of-the-art kiln that will enhance your pottery experience with us.
With its advanced technology and precise temperature control, our new kiln ensures optimal firing conditions for your clay creations. It provides the perfect environment to bring out the vibrant colors, intricate details, and exquisite finishes in your ceramic pieces. We named our new kiln after Lucie Rie, prominent Austrian-born British studio potter, recently celebrated by a in-depth show in Kettles Yard.
At our studio, we celebrate the art of pottery and the craftsmanship it represents. Our new kiln stands as a symbol of our dedication to nurturing creativity and helping artists of all levels explore their artistic potential. We are exicted to continue improving techical capacity of what is possible in the studio this summer. Growing skills among ceramics artists is and continues to be at the top of our list.
Whether you’re an experienced ceramicist or a beginner taking your first steps in pottery, our tutors, technicians and kilns are here to support, challenge and inspire you. We look forward to being a part of your artistic journey.
You are warmly invited to our annual winter Open Studios, a unique opportunity to meet and buy directly from ceramics and pottery makers who base their practice in Deptford.

We had a fabulously busy September in the studio, especially on the side of Firing Service. We had a pleasure to work on the new sculpture that went on show in October as a part of the Factory Project, produced by Thorp Stavri.
It was a challenging project with a lot of learning and research. Thank you for this challenge, Solanne.
