Ceramic Studio

Fancy Getting Creative?

Looking for a space to create your own ceramics? Join our Open Ceramics Studio and become part of a welcoming community of potters.

Our Ceramic studio is located at our venue in Mealbank, just out side of Kendal. The studio is bright and spacious, equipped with one kiln, a potter’s wheel and a selection of hand tools – ideal for independent work.

This is a self-directed space and does not include instruction, so some prior ceramics experience is required.

 New to ceramics? Try our Clay Club – a great way to get hands-on and build your skills before joining the open studio.

I first came to ceramics years ago joining their adult clay club; it was a space for me to be creative and join a community of like minded people. As I grew in confidence I became a member of their ceramics studio which meant I got access to their pottery wheels and kiln and could learn at my own pace. It also gave me space to collaborate with other members and learn from each other. The studio space is light and inviting and has given me the freedom to explore this medium without the initial costs of purchasing the equipment which wouldn’t have been possible for me. My ceramics business would not be what it is today without access to an amazing space like this. Thanks Ragtag
