We have been expanding our glaze repertoire. Introducing Klein Blue! 🌍 The fundamental colouring oxide for all blue glazes - straight from the earth - the glaze Klein Blue name is a homage to the saturated blue pigment devised and painted by the artist @yves.klein.blue. 🌍 The colour blue gained special significance in the history of Chinese ceramics during the Tang dynasty (618-907). The distinctive colour in blue-glazed pottery and porcelain originally came from cobalt ores in Persia, which were a scarce ingredient at the time and used in only limited quantities. It is still an expensive rare ore exploited in the Congo. 💫 Its deep blue is a result of the greater quality of Cobalt Oxide. This glaze is now available at the studio for members. Alongside our Strawberry Roan glaze which morphs inside the kiln. ❤️ #Ultramarine #cobalt #kleinblue #pottery #artist #potterystudio #potteryglaze #glaze #earthday #earthday2021

Being a part of our creative group who encourage each other in the journey of creativity has taken on added resonance emerging from lockdown. The pure joy of the processes involved in making in clay affect all of our studio family in different ways. Friendships are formed, community is forged, skills are honed. The therapeutic dimension to all of this is beyond measure. 🥰 Photo by @dutodom

Before the life-changing pandemic, interest in the practice of pottery was already increasing in popularity. It is seen as offering an antidote to contemporary urban working life, a means for people to use their hands creatively in a craft, away from technology and the sterility of jobs behind computer screens. During lockdown we observed a significant increase in interest in working with clay when restrictions were lifted. It is as if people have reviewed what really matters in life and that the pursuit of making in clay offers a way that is creative, therapeutic, and even spiritually nourishing. Some started working with clay at home during lockdown and the effect of an enforced slowing down of the pace of life has been a realisation that life outside lockdown can be enriched by this more considered approach to living. An increased appreciation of the value of the handmade has also emerged. ❤️

Technician ‘fantastic’ David throwing a vase at one of our summer pop ups. We’ve had a surge of interest in our pottery retreats, membership and taster classes, is a direct consequence of people’s experience of lockdown. 🍏 The isolation of working from home gives added attraction to the community aspect of coming to the studio either as member or class attendee. Being a part of a creative group who encourage each other in the journey of creativity has taken on added resonance. The pure joy of the processes involved in making in clay affect all of our studio family in different ways. Friendships are formed, community is forged, skills are honed.

Our community at Studio Pottery London is founded on our membership for potters wanting to spend more time on their practice. We offer up to 18 hours a week, with full access to the studio’s equipment, glazes and kilns, to throw, sculpt and hand-build. Our expert tutors and technician are always on-hand for advice. We also run a regular programme of talks, gallery visits, and masterclasses, all aimed at nurturing community and developing their practice. Opportunities are given to sell at specially curated fairs within Grosvenor’s Estate @ecclestonyards (Mayfair & Belgravia), and through our online store. Our most recent offering includes the wonderful pottery retreat to Cornwall this coming summer to work with our dear friend @michelfrancoisporcelain. Cornwall has a long-standing culture of studio pottery and has always been a haven for artists: a place to be refreshed on every level. ❤️ Photo by @dutodom
