The studio has 10 wheels. A combination of Fitzwilliam and production wheels. 

A range of tools is available to use in the studio, including throwing, handbuilding and carving tools, water buckets, sponges, and paintbrushes.  

In addition, the studio contains large work benches, a slab roller, a spray booth, an extruder, a plaster working area and a large collection of books to gather inspiration.

The studio has five kilns and offers firing services for those that need to complete the final step if you have created work from home. Consultation in advance required.

We can fire ceramics for you at various temperatures from stoneware to porcelain as well as decorated bisque, ceramics decals and lustre. All our kilns are electric kilns. Please contact us in advance to confirm we can help you.

The studio has 50 different glazes in different colours and textures. These are all stoneware-fired glazes and created by Chris and Michael (studio technician).

Glaze must be applied correctly before we will fire your piece, and there should be at least a half centimetre clearance around the bottom of each item to prevent pieces sticking together or damage to the kiln shelves from running glazes.
