A professional ceramics studio in the heart of Eastbourne with fantastic equipment and expert technical support. We offer classes for all abilities and ages led by our team of dedicated artist-teachers plus a range of taster sessions, talks and specialist workshops. For more experienced makers we offer open access studio membership, project development and a standalone firing service.

​

The studio takes part in several widely advertised arts events throughout the year where students and members have the opportunity to exhibit and sell their work. We welcome applications from artists and designers for our residency programme where we offer studio space and technical support to develop new projects.

As a Community Interest Company based in the Devonshire Collective's Makerspace, we are dedicated to providing opportunities for all members of the community to explore their creativity, share our facilities and experiment with clay. We work with community groups to offer bespoke workshops and support well-being through the practice of craft.

We have classes suitable for complete beginners and those with more experience running throughout the year. We keep the classes small so that we can tailor our teaching to your needs. All materials are included in the class fee with a small additional charge for firing by weight of finished work.

The taster sessions are a brilliant way to start your journey with clay and get to know the studio. Run on alternate Saturdays our 3.5 hour tasters will give you a really good introduction to throwing on the wheel, hand-building and techniques for adding colour and decoration to your work.

Experienced potters can use the studio independently by becoming open-access members. We have two options depending on the amount of time you spend in the studio each week.

We also have drop-in open access sessions for existing students who would like more time to develop their work.
