Please contact Sheen Pottery via our phone or email, which can be found below, to discuss a tailor made studio membership to suit you. Studio membership is offered to more experienced makers with ceramic qualification, having taken a certified course at a recognised ceramic establishment or college. This is studio access for example for 8 or 12 hours a week, for 44 weeks a year, allowing the member holidays or time off and also allowing the studio to close for various reasons, including for the Studio Members Exhibition in Autumn and Studio Potters Spring Market. The studio membership is ideal for a keen potter making regularly, perhaps selling their work at fairs or markets and looking for a well equipped studio space with clay, glaze and kiln access - all without the electricity bill. This is not suitable for production or full time potters, the studio is not huge, there are limited memberships available and there may be a waiting list.
