Frequently Asked Questions

• Do you have disabled access?

  Unfortunately due to the age and nature of the building, we sadly cannot provide disabled access . People with very limited mobility may find difficulty in accessing the studio and toilet due to small steps and low doorways. 

  If you’d like us to bring a pottery class to your group / venue , get in touch as we can offer this where dates are available in the studio diary. 

• Is the studio warm if it’s a converted farm building?

  Yes, the studio is cosy warm all through the colder months, and fairly cool on hotter days. The space has been purposely designed with great insulation, double glazing and is centrally heated with radiators. 

• Do you provide clay?

  Yes, you can buy white or buff clay from us. We must insist that any clay brought into the studio be approved by us to check that it fits with our kiln firing temperature. 

• Do you have all the tools I will need?

  The studio is equipped with everything you may need for handbuilding with clay. We have a large slab roller, wall extruder plus tools of all types. 

• Do you supply Glaze?

  As we are a handbuilding studio we supply lots of products to help you get to grips with surface decoration. We have a wide variety of underglazes plus an array of colours of our in house coloured slips. There are two large dipping buckets of transparent glaze suitable for temps for Earthenware, stoneware and porcelain. We also supply a large range of brush on glazes all suitable for ceramic art/ handbuilt work. 

  We do not offer a range of coloured bucket glazes as our focus is on surface design. 

  We encourage you to explore different surface techniques as all our teachers are ceramic Artists specialising in handbuilding. 

  Any products brought into the studio by you must be approved for suitability for our clay and kiln firing temps. 

• Do you have internet access?

  Although the studio is in a converted farm building, we are able to offer you connection to wifi. We also have Alexa for you to put music on etc.
