Studio equipment

We have 3 shared pottery wheels: two heavy-duty wheels and one smaller wheel, suitable for a wide range of projects.

Pottery wheels

KITTEC front-loading high-fire kiln. We fire in three temperature ranges:
• low (1000–1060 °C)
• mid (1175 °C)
• high (1200 °C)

Kiln

The studio provides three clay bodies: white, terracotta, and black. We also take care of reclaim for white, terracotta, and mixed clay.

Clay

Wet boxes allow your pieces to dry slowly, helping prevent warping and cracking. Project stage shelves are used to store work-in-progress and keep the studio organized.

Wet boxes & stage shelves

The studio provides a variety of shared tools for carving, modelling, trimming, and decorating. You’re also welcome to bring and use your own tools.

Tools

A sink trap system prevents clay from entering the sewage system, helping keep the plumbing and studio infrastructure in good condition.

Member’s shelves

Members have designated shelf space to store tools and personal materials.

We offer a selection of glazes and engobes, including both house-made and branded options, suitable for the studio’s firing ranges.

A transparent dipping glaze is always available; other glazes and engobes rotate regularly.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Some basic experience is required to use the studio independently during open studio hours. Completing at least one workshop is enough to gain the necessary basics.

    If you’re completely new to ceramics, workshops are the best place to start. Once you’ve attended a workshop and are familiar with the studio and basic processes, you’re welcome to join open studio!

  • Open studio means independent work time. You work on your own projects, at your own pace, using the studio facilities for handbuilding and wheel work. A basic level of experience is required.

    No structured teaching is provided during open studio hours, but you are always welcome to ask questions in the studio chat or check in with others in the space.

    All members receive a studio orientation, where we explain how to use the facilities safely, responsibly, and in a way that works well for everyone.

  • Drop-in is occasional access for people who don’t need regular studio time.

    Membership is for ongoing practice and includes regular access, storage space, and firing options depending on your plan.

    Full details are listed on the Membership page.

  • In most cases, yes - but only clays and glazes that fit the studio’s firing ranges and safety standards. Please check with the studio before bringing anything new. Unapproved materials can damage kilns and shelves.

  • Yes, please! Dogs are welcome, as long as they stay under your supervision at all times.

  • All studio access options include use of the studio facilities, shared tools, and equipment.

    Firing is included in workshops and in certain membership types. For other access options, firing is charged separately based on the weight of the finished piece. Any differences are clearly stated on the relevant workshop or membership page.

  • Firing per kilo means that firing costs are calculated based on the weight of your finished piece after firing.

    The exact price per kilo is listed on the memberships page. As a rough reference, a typical 200ml mug usually weighs around 300-500 g after firing, depending on the clay body and thickness.

  • We offer a range of ceramic workshops, both handbuild and wheel throwing ones. Workshops vary in format and length, and are designed to let you explore techniques, materials, and forms in a relaxed, supportive environment.

    Current workshops and dates are listed on the website.

  • Not at all! Our workshops are designed for beginners and first-time ceramic makers.
