With over 20 years of experience working in a home, garden shed, shared studios and the setup of St Leonards Ceramic Studio, Kim will lead you through all the essentials of setting up your own studio.

Choosing the right space and how much you might need depending on your practice as a hand builder or wheel thrower or other you can consider the essential equipment and tools, costs and safety needed for your studio.

We will discuss the purchasing and setup of your kiln, including safety and electricity requirements, how to organize your workspace and reclaim your clay and all the other tools and equipment you will need.

This workshop will also discuss glazing and what’s best for your space based on your own experience, knowledge, your practice and the facilities you have available. Cost effective ways of running your space will all be discussed and where to look for second hand or free tools and equipment.
