Studio time
When you book studio time it is to use the tools that are available to students during classes. This includes the rolling mill, hydraulic press, dies, mandrels etc, but you must have experience with that equipment before the session, i.e. to use the kilns for enamelling or precious metal clay you need to have undertaken a class or had previous experience with an enamelling/PMC kiln.
You can book 1 hour long session for £12.50, buy a session plan of 3 hours for £30 or 12 hours for £100.
