SET Ceramics is a contemporary community pottery studio in central London, run by arts organisation and registered charity SET. Based in a former cobbler’s shop near Fenchurch Street Station, the space functions as both a working ceramics studio for members and an artist-led learning environment.

Alongside studio memberships for practising makers, we offer courses, private classes and team workshops led by working ceramic artists. Each programme is shaped by the tutor’s own practice, giving participants insight into real studio approaches rather than standardised pottery classes.

Sessions are small (typically 4-6 people) to allow focused guidance, experimentation, and the development of individual ideas. With pottery wheels, hand-building stations, glazing facilities and kiln firing included, the emphasis is on meaningful making and building confidence with clay.

SET Ceramics welcomes beginners, independent makers, and artists looking to work within a supportive and creative studio community.
