To become a member, you must have completed at least one round of our Guided Pottery course (or similar experience elsewhere) and be able to work independently.

Fill out the application form below and we will be in touch to invite you in for a chat to make sure that what we offer at Neighbourhood is right for you.

If after the meeting you'd like to move forward with membership, we will onboard you on to our easy-to-use app and you will be able to start booking your Member Sessions right away!

Member Sessions are 4-hour slots which members book in order to come in and use the studio. When you join as a member, you'll choose a monthly membership plan which will allow you to book either 4, 8, or 12 Member Sessions per month via our app.

Member Sessions are offered on the following days:

MONDAYS: morning (9am - 1pm), afternoon (1 - 5pm), evening (5 - 9pm)

TUESDAYS: morning, afternoon, evening

WEDNESDAYS: morning, afternoon, evening

THURSDAYS: evening

SATURDAYS: every other Saturday afternoon

Membership subscriptions are purchased through our app via debit/credit card. You are able to change your payment card at any time via the app as well. Your subscription will start on the day of purchase and will recur monthly until you cancel your membership.

We strive to keep member fees affordable, however in the event that we need to raise monthly membership fees we will give at least 1 month’s notice.

We have many different types of clay bodies available for members to purchase and experiment with! We regularly stock white, porcelain, buff, flecked, grogged, crank, black, red, and others!

​

Want to try something else? We make regular orders to Scarva, Clay Cellar, and others and we try to put a call out to members beforehand when we can to see if anyone wants to add anything. Saves you the delivery fee!

To protect our kilns and equipment, members must get approval from one of the studio owners before using clay, glazes, etc which have not been purchased from the studio.

Finished pieces are fired by our studio technicians. We aim to fire pieces as soon as they are ready, but please note that firing could take up to 3 weeks (especially in winter when pieces dry more slowly). If you need a piece urgently, let us know and we will do our best to accommodate.

​

Technicians will take every precaution to make sure your pieces make it through the kiln intact, but sometimes accidents happen or problems occur in the kiln which are out of our control.

​

Due to studio capacity restrictions, our studio is not suitable for production level quantities. Members are given an allowance of either 3, 6, or 9 kilos per month of glaze fired work (depending on their membership tier). Anything you wish to fire beyond your allowance will be charged at a rate of £6 per kilo (post firing). Excess allowance does not carry over to the next month if unused.

No! You are welcome to join for just a month if you wish.

You can cancel your membership yourself at any time should you need or want to. Cancelled plans continue to be active until the end of their current billing cycle, so you will be able to use the rest of that month's Member Sessions before the cancellation takes place.

On your final day of membership, you will need to clear your shelf and remove any works in progress.

NOTE: The studio owners reserve the right to terminate a member's membership - effective immediately - in the event of repeated violations of the terms and conditions or disruptive behaviour.
