DOT Ceramics is a design-led studio that fosters creativity, knowledge sharing, and experimentation. Our artists work with a range of materials, from porcelain to rock and repurposed hospitality waste, pushing the limits of contemporary ceramics.
Our ceramic studios.
We offer individual studio spaces which are available to rent. These spaces provide a central and affordable place from which to run a small creative business or pursue your practice. While offering some privacy and personalisation, they all open onto a large common area which encourages a spirit of community and cooperation.
Beyond clay, our artists explore painting, furniture design, and lighting, blending traditional craft with bold, innovative approaches. This is where new ideas and unexpected combinations thrive.
Studio holders have full access to all equipment.
We’re proud to offer a well-equipped studio with high-quality equipment, including a large communal workspace, a dedicated glazing area with cleanup sinks, a Rhode slab roller, Shimpo Whisper wheel, spray booth with fume extraction, and three kilns including a extra large Hilldav ideal sculpture work, large Tetlow and medium Skutt. Each kiln is separately metered, with additional fees for firings.
