General Studio & Services

What’s included in the class fee?

All materials and tools are included unless stated otherwise. This typically includes clay, our tool library, glazes and access to our firing service (pricing or inclusion for firing differs depending on program)

How long does it take to fire my piece?

It typically takes 4 – 6 weeks after our workshop or short course to have your items fired and ready for collection, depending on our kiln schedule.

Do you offer a public firing service?

We do not offer firing services to the public at this time. We have a limited kiln capacity at our studio and have set up the space to exclusively offer firing within our studio. There is no room or system in place for firing works created outside of our studio. Please do not email us and ask us about this, we don’t have time to reply and will not make exceptions in any circumstance.

Do you sell clay to the public?

Unfortunately the clay we have in the studio is for our members’ program and term classes only.

Do you offer studio memberships or casual studio access?

Yes! Currently we offer a membership program for those who want regular studio access and to deepen their pottery practice in a supportive, community setting. We do not currently offer casual studio access but if this is something that interests you please let us know!

Can I host a private event or group class?

Yes! We offer private group bookings for birthdays, team-building, or special events. Please contact us to discuss your needs.

Can I visit your studio? 

We love meeting new people and keen potters, clay community is part of what makes our studio great. Drop ins can be tricky as we are busy hosting classes & running a studio. If you’d like to visit, see if we have an upcoming open day, or send an email enquiry to arrange a time at hello@bisquestudios.com. 

Can I volunteer my time at your studio? 

We appreciate your enthusiasm in wanting to get your hands dirty. But we also value peoples time and prefer to pay employees rather than seek out volunteers. If you have a background in ceramics/pottery and are seeking paid work. Please feel free to send through your artist CV & cover letter. We will keep them on hand for when jobs become available and be in touch.

Youth & Family Participation

Can my child attend alone?
 Our terms and workshops are designed for adults but children 16+ are able to book as long as they are accompanied by a legal guardian who is also attending the same class. Please let us know prior to booking in so our teachers can be prepared. For younger children, we offer specific family and kids’ workshops.

Accessibility & Inclusion

Is the studio accessible?

Our studio and non-gendered bathroom are wheelchair accessible from the street. Please let us know about any specific needs in advance and we’ll do our best to accommodate you.

Is your classroom setup adjustable? 

The classroom is arranged to be flexible and supportive of various learning needs. Seating is available at tables with the option of backrest chairs for added comfort on request.
