The Studio & Community programme creates safe spaces to meet others, learn and share skills. A clay community in the heart of a ceramic city. You can access making opportunities, whatever your level of experience. The projects within this programme strand seek to develop creativity and nurture wellbeing.

BCB also works in partnership with health and community organisations in Stoke-on-Trent to create opportunities for people to explore and imagine how clay and creativity can make a difference in their lives, communities and city.

The BCB Studio is a space to work with clay, based in the heart of Stoke on Trent at Spode Works.
