Open Access classes (guided)
Our open access classes run every Monday, Thursday (7-9pm) and Friday mornings (10-12pm). These are self lead classes where you can bring an idea and have guidance from Gemma to help to complete projects. Students in these classes have been returning to the studio weekly across the last two years and show a strong interest in practising and progressing their ceramics. These classes feature occasional demos on new complex forms such as jars, lemon squeezers and bottle forms as well as scaling up on the wheel and through handbuilt forms. Gemma is around in the studio for these sessions and is able to advise and guide you where needed as well as helping to decorate these pieces with a wide variety of studio glazes that can be used in different unique combinations
Each class is £35 a session and can be paid for on the day, any fired clay will be weighed post final firing and is £5 per kilo of clay, this is to encourage practice- you do not have to fire everything that you make!
If you have previous experience at other studios and have completed at least one beginners course and would like to join open access classes please contact us.
Wheel Rental/Studio time
Wheel rental/ studio time is available throughout the week and weekend, this is unguided studio time for anyone who needs to keep up practice and is unable to access space and wheels to do so. If you are a maker and have a project in mind please drop us an email so that we can discuss any equipment you may need to use.
Open access is £15 per hour and you must be inducted to do this. A beginners course is highly recommended at minimum to use the wheel. Any clay fired will be weighed and prices at £5 per kilo post firing.
