Our Prices are changing

Since opening our doors in 2008, we have prided ourselves on maintaining our studio fee at £3.75 per person, allowing us to cover the costs of glazes and firing your beautiful creations. However, over the past 16 years, the costs associated with these services have significantly increased.

In order to continue providing the services you expect and offering the best possible experience, we find it necessary to adjust our studio fee. Starting 31st July the studio fee will be £5 per person.

We understand that price increases are never ideal, and we want to assure you that this decision was made after careful consideration. Our goal is to ensure the studio remains a welcoming and creative space for everyone. Thank you for your understanding and continued support.

Glazing & Firing

The final part of your pottery's journey involves glazing and firing in the kiln. We strive for perfection to prevent any events from occurring to your pottery however this is not an exact science where occasionally the glaze and kiln can be unpredictable. During firing the bisque can repel the glaze resulting in unglazed spots as well as small surface imperfections caused by brick dust flying around the kiln as it heats ups. Where it's safe to do so we will re-fire the pottery to try and fix glazing issues, in the unlikely event that your pottery breaks or cracks in the kiln we will offer a replacement voucher for compensation.

We hope you understand that we do everything we can to try and prevent such things, however it is not always possible. The unpredictable element can be both the charm and frustration of ceramics.
