Studio Membership

Studio membership is perfect for any enthusiastic person who either needs more flexibility than a weekly class provides, and/or has embraced ceramics as their passion and doesn’t have the scope for a purpose built home studio.

Our Studio Membership Scheme offers all the benefits of a fully equipped personal studio without the expense and management of a personal studio.  Our members range from relatively novice but extremely enthusiastic ceramicists and potters to members who regularly exhibit and have commissions for their work.

We have developed our studio membership carefully and are confident that our range of benefits and flexibility of use is beyond compare with any other studio in our region.
