Turning Earth's mission is to cultivate craft both as an accessible hobby and as a viable career (we offer a full-time professional studio, In Production, in Leyton). We want to contribute towards a broad adult curriculum that will improve quality of life in the city. Our members come to Turning Earth for a variety of purposes, including to:

Make work in ceramics
Learn a new skill
Be part of a community
Relax and unwind
Nurture creativity
Develop a new career

Everyone is welcome here. Beginners work alongside trained artists in a supportive community.

Turning Earth is indebted to the Arts and Crafts movement at the beginning of the 20th century, which suggested that there should be no separation between utility and art. Our vision rests in the intuited feeling that we will naturally make life more beautiful when we take our aesthetic awareness, our right-brained feeling for things, as seriously as we take our rational understanding of the world.

We exist to enable people to make beautiful physical objects, and in doing so, to make their lives more beautiful: more centered, more fulfilled, more present to what they truly care about. We feel that in making this movement, we are encouraging a broader social shift towards living with care in our world.
