Stoneware Studios

The new studio build! Camera role archive from transforming a carpeted office into our new teaching space.

I launched @stoneware.studios almost 2 years ago in a smaller unit in the same building with 4 pottery wheels. We got our first students, lots of them came back, I employed a couple more fantastic teachers, and everything started to grow (which makes it all sound simple but trust me it’s been a ride!). Earlier this year I realised we’d outgrown the space downstairs and when this larger unit came up for rent in the same building I jumped at it.

We had to turn the space around very quickly so I didn’t get a chance to share much about it on here at the time. So here’s a few archival bits from the project. There were lots of hands on deck to help out - thank you everyone!❤️

We now run our small schedule of weekly taught courses up here. It’s a wonderful place to learn to make pots as it’s spacious with room to spread out and a wonderfully airy feel. Natural light in the day and cosy in the evenings. (I’m only sad I won’t be around to make pots in here myself while I’ll be off on Mat Leave!!)

When courses aren’t running this studio will be open for studio members! We are welcoming our first cohort in a couple of weeks time we can’t wait 🌟

If you’re looking for a pottery home for your practice, and to join a small community of clay enthusiasts in our corner of SW London, we’d love to have you. Take a look at our website for all the details of our Full Membership scheme.

Thank you to everyone who continues to make @stonewarestudios everything I dreamed it would be! Excited for this new chapter to deepen the clay community we’re building.

Ps - a smaller membership scheme will be launching next week too for anyone who wants a program where they can come and work independently without too much commitment! 👀 Stay tuned, spaced limited
