A COMMUNITY OF POTTERS

Open access to our dedicated members area.

Level

Experienced potters

Membership

The age old art of ceramics is greatly enriched by potters coming together and working alongside one another. At Studio Pottery London, we offer potters the chance to belong, by becoming an intrinsic part of our ever-growing community as members.

Our members area is fully equipped with wheels and hand-building surfaces, spacious and flooded with natural light. Access to the library and classroom areas expands creating space to the benefit of all.

Expert tutors and technicians are always on-hand for advice, and we run a regular programme of talks, gallery visits, masterclasses and international trips, all aimed at nurturing community and developing individual practice.

Members have the opportunity to display and sell their work in our twice-yearly Open Studio weekends and through our online store. Members’ work is selected for window and vitrine display providing valuable exposure in the heart of London’s Belgravia.
