Members: Booking Your Studio Time

Booking a pottery wheel is via our online booking system below.

If a member wishes to hand-build or glaze, without the use of a wheel, please still proceed to book a wheel below. This ensures there are never more than 6 people at the studio, and allows us to keep track of people coming and going.


This system ensures members always have space when arriving at the studio and ensures that the studio is staffed or access provided otherwise during this time. 

Cancellation of any bookings must be made at least 48hrs in advance.
