A working studio in an old pottery
Kiln Yard Studios (sample) rents rooms to photographers, film crews, painters and drawing groups. We look after the rooms; you make the work.
Kilns out, paper in
The building fired roof tiles until the 1970s. We took the top two floors in 2016 and kept the tall windows, the goods lift and the roller door (sample).
Studio A was the drying shed, so it is wide and high. The Loft was the pattern room: the roof lights were already there.
