  • Collective making | Our opening

    We were pleased to meet so many lovely people at the opening of the Ceramics Studio Co-op. It was a joyful evening and we were pleased so many enjoyed it with us, it was a lovely party.

    As planned, on the party Ceramics Studio Co-op facilitated making of collective pot about South London. It happened to become a bowl about South London. Anna Baskakova, one of the founding members led the process of co-creation at the beginning. Thanks to everyone who participated!

    The bowl is still in progress. We will keep everyone posted.

  • First People’s Pottery Class at New Cross!

    The start of ceramics and pottery classes at new Ceramics studio Co-op rooms at New Cross is a big deal for us! We appreciate all innovators joining us early on our way! Our team used to run classes in Ceramics Studio Bermondsey, so we are not total freshers.

    Of course, new premises mean better lighter classrooms and different even better vibes. We also have a great team or ceramics artists starting to work from the studio right now. It means different better workshops in the future.

    We will also run weekend Drop-in sessions for limited time, so please come and join us for a day or for one of longer courses if you want to discover a maker in yourself. We totally see this as support of the values we pursue hereย  at Ceramics Studio Co-op, and help in building sustainable community-responsible business.

    Pleasure to see many new faces at our Taster Class last week. Thank you all for coming!

    This is a recent album with photos from our building process. It’s never enough to celebrate our co-op team and friends involved in the studio! We have amazing helpers and work gets done so quickly with a good chat about art and politics. Looking forward to opening the studio for all artists, students and clients.
