Eight hundred and forty independent makers, working in 34 countries — illustrators, furniture-makers, ceramicists, small-goods sewers, indie jewellers, typographers. A quiet place to ask questions, share work and, once a year, get in a room together.
A slice of today's member feed. Log in to see everything, join the conversation, and post a question of your own.
Brought back my first print run from the shop in Sant Cugat — a hundred and twenty of these, for a wine bar down the road. What would you price them at? Paper & ink cost me about €1.80 per print.
Tenth year in business and I'm finally writing a studio handbook for the two new apprentices. If any of you have written one, I'd love to see it. Happy to share mine back, of course.
Shared a new video of the single-firing process I've been refining for the tumblers. It's at 12 minutes but honestly the interesting bit starts at 4:30 — no glaze, no second firing, yet a proper food-safe finish. Questions welcome.
The Pricing for tiny makers thread has the best advice I've ever read on this — re-sharing for anyone new here. Thanks especially to Tola & Finn, I've just rewritten my line sheet.
Twenty-four member-run groups — each with weekly prompts, a monthly show-and-tell, and a thread where you can ask the dumb question you've been too shy to ask.
Editorial, books, prints, pitch decks. The house's oldest group.
Studio, single-firing, production lines, teaching routes.
Solo makers, two-person shops, apprentices, workshop handbooks.
Weaving, dye, knitwear, the craft-vs-production conversation.
Stone-setting, market diaries, commissions, gold policy.
The eternal conversation. For tiny makers, by tiny makers.
Product shots, studio-on-a-budget, the yearly kit thread.
Specimens, new releases, foundries-run-by-one, licensing.
Every August, a long weekend at a farm in Wiltshire — two nights, shared meals, and a small programme of workshops, talks and fires.
Ninety members, in a converted barn, on a working farm in Wiltshire. Arrive Friday afternoon, leave Sunday after lunch.
The Workshop is a members-only community. New applications are reviewed on the first Monday of each month by a rotating panel of four members. We let in roughly 40 new members a year.
