Become Part of a Thriving Ceramics Community!
We are the only public ceramics studio in London to offer Drop-ins every day from 9am to 10pm as an alternative to a monthly membership. Whether you choose a Drop-In Member Plan or Drop-In Monthly Membership, you are still a Member of Dalston Clay. This way you can feel part of our community from your first session with us.
Our Drop-Ins are 3hrs in duration with the exception of evening sessions and Saturday Clay Day drop-ins which are 4hrs and include optional yoga, meditation and yoga nidra. You can reschedule or cancel anytime up to the start of your Drop-In in your members account.
Although there is usually somebody at the studio for technical help, our Drop-In sessions are unguided so to make the most of your sessions please read on...

As a CIC and Social Enterprise, it is our intention to make Dalston Clay a studio that is available to everyone, regardless of financial circumstance. While we need to function as a business, we never want money to be the reason why someone can't benefit from what we've built. If you truly can't afford the full cost of our offerings, we invite you to contact us to discuss your situation and we will endeavour to sort something out.
