Edinburgh Ceramics Workshop

We founded Edinburgh Ceramics Workshop in 2015 as an open practice ceramics centre dedicated to making, developing and promoting practice with clay.

Students can apply to join with the recommendation from a tutor and once they have completed our courses to level 3 and can practice independently.

Vibrant community

Our studio is friendly, supportive and fully resourced.

Based at Abbeymount Studios in Edinburgh, the building is a creative arts hub in an old Victorian Primary School.

We are surrounded by small cafes, bakeries and restaurants and have both the bustling city and the tranquility of Holyrood Royal Park on our doorstep. We would love to see you there!
