For one weekend before Christmas, we'll move the pottery wheels aside and open our studio by Regent's Canal to everyone.

Our members will set out tables with their ceramics. You'll find cups and plates for everyday use alongside vases and sculptural pieces, with a variety of forms, colours and techniques.

Some members will be selling their work for the first time. You're welcome to drop in, meet the makers and have a look around the studio. We'll have mulled wine too.
