Who what and where

About US

Our original studio @Castle Ashby opened in January 2017 and is nestled in the tranquil Northamptonshire countryside surrounding Castle Ashby House, which dates back to 1574.

Our studio @The Depot is located at the historic Royal Ordnance Depot in the village of Weedon Bec in south Northamptonshire: the unique buildings on this site date back to the time of the Napoleonic wars.

All our 6-week wheel-throwing courses include studio access outside of class time several days & evenings a week – come in and practice your new skills and meet your fellow potters!

We are an incredibly supportive community and welcome everyone from beginners through to advanced ceramic artists. Find out more throughout the website – or pop in to one of the studios and see for yourself what we have to offer. 

WHAT IS AN ' OPEN-ACCESS '
POTTERY STUDIO?

The open-access model of ceramics studio is one common in the US but still relatively new here in the UK. It’s effectively a gym… for potters! Memberships, courses, taster sessions, one-off experiences… we aim to offer something for everyone, be they novice potters, experienced ceramic artists or those looking for an original experience to celebrate a special occasion.

WHAT FACiliTIES DO WE OFFER?

All students and members are assigned their own personal shelf for storage of their work for the duration of their course/membership.

We glaze-fire to 1200 degrees centigrade, and offer a comprehensive range of brush-on and dipping high-earthenware/ low-stoneware glazes.
