Open Studio Access

Our newly extended Open Studio Access allows you to come and use the pottery workshop facilities to create your own makes. This can be hand-building projects or on the potters wheel. You can come for 2, 4 or 6 hours. This is not a taught session so although our Pottery Teachers will be on hand for support and advice they will not teach one-to-one. If you book for 2 or 4 hours please email to let us know what time you will be attending so we can ensure there is enough room for everyone. From February 2026 we have a new arrangement starting. Open Access will run every Tuesday from 9.30am – 3.30pm. You must buy your clay from us (cost covers clay, glazes and 2 firings). Hourly Open Access rates have been reduced.
