Pottery Studio

The main pottery studio is a large, welcoming space with tables for handwork and socialising.  It includes a wedging table, slab roller, and storage for members' work.

 

Our sunny wheel room houses seven electric wheels, most of which are reversible for left-handed use.  It also includes a sink, extruders and shelving.

 

A dedicated glaze room provides a sink, table spray booth, sprayers, and a range of prepared club glazes.  There's also a separate laboratory used by our volunteer Glaze Convenor for glaze mixing, equipped with a sink.  Bringing your own commercial glazes is allowed so long as you test them adequately.

 

Our kiln room, which contains three electric kilns, can be closed off from the other workspaces for safety during firing.  A group of volunteers regularly loads and fires members' work.

How to Join the Potters

We welcome potters with prior experience to join our group. You don't need to be an expert, but you do need to be able to work independently.

​

We cap our membership 100 to ensure all our potters have space to work effectively. Memberships are renewed at the beginning of each year, which is when new spaces open up.

​

Prospective new members need to complete an application form outlining their experience to reserve their place on the waitlist. Once a space becomes available, you'll complete an induction session to confirm your membership. Inductions will run in February, with an additional induction in March if required. After completing the induction and being accepted you'll pay your subscription for the year.

​

Fill our the form to start the appliction process:
