WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
Open Access does NOT include tools or clay - you can purchase clay and additional tools in the ground floor Supply Store.
​
You are advised to bring your own apron but we will have some on offer if you forget. Clay can dry your hands so do bring some hand moisturiser with you if you can.
​
Please leave your work space clean and tidy - as you would expect to find it.
​
Before you start with CLAY please look through our health and safety advisories.

HOW THE OPEN STUDIO MEMBERSHIP WORKS:
All members are able to book a time slot via the Open studio members page.
Each time slot is 2 hours long, you can book as many slots as you like - while respecting a fair use policy. We encourage you to book reoccurring slots so you get to know the members using the studio at the same time.
​
Members are not permitted to bring in clays or glazes that have not first been approved by our technician team. if you would like to bring materials into the studio (that are not sold in our supply store) please email clay@thefarnhampottery.co.uk
