ABOUT STUDIO POTTERY LONDON Founded by Lucy Attwood and Gregory Tingay in 2019, Studio Pottery London is a light-filled and spacious workshop for all who are attracted to making with clay, from absolute beginners to more experienced potters. Uniquely located in central London in the heart of Victoria as part of the Eccleston Yards development, the studio has been created as a place of calm and community, with a carefully curated working studio and gallery space provides a perfect environment for city-dwellers to come together to learn and create. Two teaching classrooms of seven wheels each ensure intimate classes and a dedicated members area has been carefully designed to give members premium space. A resident potter welcomes members and students into their private studio for one-to-one throwing and mentoring sessions, while an evolving teaching team and an in-house technician - monitoring the studio kilns and glazing room - provide support for the studio community. Curated windows and displays of historic and contemporary ceramics inspire makers and are for sale to visitors.
