Save Brixton Cycles Fundraiser
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.

The Cooperative Economy 2017
Cooperatives UK video on coop economy is featuring Ceramics Studio Co-op and it’s members. We are proud to be a part of it among other 7 worker coops and some consumer coops. See if you spot familiar faces, and have a read of the Cooperative Economy report!
http://reports.uk.coop/economy2017/
There’s a point at which we need to say that enough is enough. People’s working lives are more precarious than ever. Local communities feel out of control. Home ownership is at 1980s levels. A growing split between the have and have nots is dividing Britain.
This report and open data set shows that there are nearly 7,000 organisations across the UK that are trying to reimagine the economy. They are co-operatives, working in everything from dairy to digital, and they are giving people more control over the things that matter to them – their work, homes and local areas. It’s time to reimagine the economy. It’s time to co-operate.

Video: Cultural Cooperatives visiting Ceramics Studio Co-op
Cultural Cooperatives Visiting Ceramics Studio Co-op from Cultural Coops on Vimeo.
Work in the cultural sector is often precarious, exploitative and individualized – but what are the alternatives?
Watch our visit to Ceramics Studio Coop and see how worker cooperatives in the cultural industries can challenge the way we work and create. It’s the first in a series of videos introducing cultural co-ops and exploring the politics of co-ops in the cultural sector.
Follow us on Twitter @culturalcoops to find out when we launch cultural.coop, a website to collect resources about the co-operative model and to encourage collaboration and solidarity among cultural co-ops.
Let’s open up the conversation about the struggles faced by cultural workers and share our stories of resistance.
