About the Studio
​​​
The Creative Studio York is a vibrant and welcoming hub for anyone who loves clay!​ Owned and directed by ceramicist Sarah King, the studio supports a community of members who use the facilities regularly to create distinctive ceramic work. It also provides sessions to the public who want to try their hand at pottery, from hand-building and wheel throwing to animal sculptures.
​
At the heart of the studio are our regular weekly pre-booked sessions, held every Tuesday and Friday morning. These sessions provide an ideal opportunity for anyone wishing to explore working with clay, whether throwing on the wheel or developing hand-building techniques. The studio caters for all levels of experience, from complete beginners to advanced makers.
The space is fully equipped with five pottery wheels, generous work areas for hand-building, decorating, and glazing, and a relaxed yet professional environment that encourages creativity and skill development.

​
Our specialist workshops (available as half-day and full-day sessions) focus on ceramic sculpture, particularly animal forms. Participants learn the techniques required to create expressive sculptures ranging from foxes and hares to whales and Highland cows
