What's on at The Clay Loft

​​Welcome to The Clay Loft

The Clay Loft is an open access members' ceramics studio that is accessible to anyone from beginners to professional artists.

Setting up your own studio is an expensive process.  Becoming a member of The Clay Loft gives you access to all of the equipment and tools necessary to continue your exploration of clay or to hone your skills in a specific process.

We have created a beautiful studio in the recently renovated Inchbrook Mill in the Nailsworth Valley on the A46 just outside Stroud.  
Qualified ceramics technicians will be available for support and there will be a few classes too but membership is for independent makers looking for a sociable, communal working environment.

Membership

There is a range of pricing structures for membership of The Clay Loft.  These depend upon the length of contract but range from £170 per month for a single month to £150 per month on our one year contract. Other upfront payment deals are available that offer even greater savings.

With any membership plan you will get:

• Your own personal storage shelf (approximately 90cm x 40cm x 40cm) 
• Use of our excellent equipment
• Unlimited (reasonable) use of house glazes and clays
• Up to 40 litres of kiln space per month at set firing temperatures​
  

Classes

The Clay Loft is here to support members but the other way you can use the studio is by joining one of the regular classes.  A limited number of classes run throughout the year including introductory 'taster' sessions, beginners courses and masterclasses.  These classes are designed to offer a range of insight and opportunity to experience the vast spectrum of ceramic processes.

Be warned, once you get clay under your fingernails it is there for life...
