Introducing a new way of creative working

 The concept of communal maker spaces is not a new one.  Several studios have sprung up in and around our cities in recent years.  This is a response to an upsurge in creativity in our society.  Whilst many arts centres and crafts people offer lessons and classes in their art form people wanting to develop their interests beyond the shallow immersion are often confronted with limited knowledge, space or money to set up a studio of their own.

Open access studios operate a lot like a gym membership; offering access to a managed environment equipped and staffed to give members the   best platform to achieve their goals.

Our studios offer just this.  Managed by  skilled technical staff, our two studios offer a suite of equipment to support most ceramics processes. It is a welcoming,  relaxed and inspiring communal working space with excellent facilities.

How does it work?

Our studios use a simple membership scheme to provide open access to people wanting to develop their ceramic skills or to simply enjoy making with clay in a friendly and relaxing sociable setting.  Members will pay a monthly fee for access to the studio and the use of all its facilities and materials. A technician will be on hand to guide and troubleshoot but learning will be by exploration and the mutual support of the members.  As well as open access, regular classes will be run for beginners (typically non-members) as well as process specific masterclasses. 
We offer a warm and welcoming atmosphere; a beautiful space in a beautiful place where you will hopefully be inspired and inspire others
