Clay Shed is a vibrant, artist-led ceramics studio in Bristol

We specialise in studio membership, pottery classes, workshops and artist residencies

At Clay Shed, we’re more than a pottery studio — we’re a community for makers. Our space supports creativity, skill-building and exploration. We’re thoughtful about how we work — making ethical and environmentally conscious choices in everything from materials to studio practices. Wherever you are on your creative journey and whatever your interests, we’ll offer our knowledge and enthusiasm to build your confidence and support your growth as a maker.

I found a supportive community of people, all keen to help and engage with each other. Clay Shed is impeccably well organised and clean, and you’ll learn best practices for keeping your ceramics safe from the start.

The studio is such a welcoming environment that I felt at home right away, the instructors were both really friendly and very helpful and I was so pleased with the pots I got to take home.

Clay Shed is not only a space where you can use the pottery equipment and practice the craft, but a community of incredibly talented people, where you can get help and support, find new friends and become a part of it all!
