Ceramics Workshop

Bookings are open for the whole of 2023.

Important note: Workshop Inductions available from February 2023, to allow the Technical Team to focus on essential maintenance in January.

The Ceramics Workshop has a large worktable and two side benches, suitable for working on hand building and sculpting with ceramics, and small amounts of drying space.  (Our space is not suitable for production pottery.)

Induction: arranged at the start of your first Session. Please add ‘INDUCTION’ in the notes when booking and email office@edinburghsculpture.org to advise. Induction takes around 15 minutes.

Kilns available: 2 larger kilns for bulk firings and one smaller test kiln.

Kilns are booked directly with ESW, subject to availability. Phone 0131 551 4490 or email office@edinburghsculpture.org with ‘KILN BOOKING ENQUIRY’ in subject line, at least one week in advance. (It is recommended to give as much notice as possible as there are times when demand on the kilns is high.)

Firings can be shared by up to 4 users, with the firings managed by ESW.

Kiln charges: £2.50 per day plus 30p per electrical unit used.

If you have a big project or important deadline coming up, please get in touch to discuss in advance so we can plan ahead.

The Ceramics Workshop is located in the same room but separated from the Plaster Workshop.
