Open-Access Membership

Open-access studio is great for novice makers who want to make independently, or for established hobbyists who would like to use the studio on flexible terms.

The studio is open regularly 3 days a week on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. We use 3 types of stoneware clay and dipping/pouring glazes are available for all members. Firings are carried out regularly by studio staff.

Members have an assigned personal storage space (35 x 84 x 40 cm) and some common area storage that can be used at their convenience and within reason. Open access workshop is equipped for modelling, hand-building, throwing, and glazing. We won’t be able to accommodate slip casting.
