The Kiln Rooms is more than just a space to create; it’s a place to develop as an artist and connect with like-minded creatives. We host a programme of social events, bi-annual members’ sales, and 6 to 7 artist talks each year – which are open to everyone and free to attend. These events form part of our wider development programme, which members and staff have full access to – offering additional opportunities to grow their practice through group tutorials, technical support sessions, participation in sales, and more tailored events!
Members Sales
Our bi-annual sales showcase the work of 80–100 emerging artists and designers working with ceramics across our Bellenden Road and Copeland Park studios, offering a chance to see handmade work, meet the makers, and visit the studios where the pieces are made.

Artist talks
We provide a wide range of talks and demonstrations from invited guests covering all aspects of professional practice. Running roughly 6-7 talks per year, all are free to attend and everyone is welcome!
The talks take place at our Copeland Park studio’s members area.

We say it a lot, but our community makes The Kiln Rooms. We keep it thriving through a number of social events to get involved in throughout the year, from pottery pub quizzes to drinks in the local pub and more informal get-togethers.
