A Kiln for our Community

For over 30 years, our Pottery Studio has been a creative hub, a place where people of all ages and backgrounds come together to learn, create, and connect. From after-school clubs, to workshops, to accessible sessions, we bring the joy of clay to over 3000 participants every year.

Our faithful kiln has served us well, but it has now reached the end of its journey.

Despite careful maintenance, it can no longer meet the needs of our busy studio. Without a working kiln, we can’t fire new work, run classes or continue supporting our vibrant pottery community.

That’s why we’re launching this Fundraising campaign to raise £8,000 for a new kiln.

Every amount helps, and every donation will make a lasting impact.

What your support will help us achieve:

  • Keep our pottery studio open and thriving for hundreds of local makers.
  • Continue hosting workshops and classes for people of all ages.
  • Support our Resident Potter, who creates and teaches in the studio.
  • Provide accessible sessions for those who might not otherwise experience the joy of working with clay.

Why it matters:

The work in our Pottery Studio offers so much more than just making things from clay.

  • It passes on precious craft skills and knowledge to the next generation of potters
  • It is community-minded, connecting people and makers.
  • It provides a creative outlet for makers of all ages and abilities

With your support, we can keep creativity thriving in our community. Thank you.
