Cyan Clayworks is a Community Interest Company and a working ceramics studio set up in 2012. Originally at Beaverhall Studios, they relocated in 2023 and are now based on Commercial Street in Edinburgh in a self-contained ground floor space. They offer individual tuition, one off workshops and longer weekly courses for adults. The studio is run by experienced and enthusiastic ceramic artists who make tableware (Chris Donnelly) and sculptural hand built vessels (Fiona Thompson).

As well as regular courses for adults, individual tuition, and student/professional artist project support, there is a membership for keen amateur makers to use the workspace. As a social enterprise, their focus is on encouraging and enabling creative learning for adults in a friendly supportive environment and providing access to specialist facilities. Open studio events and special exhibitions are held at intervals. Fiona and Chris’s own artwork can be purchased through the studio shop – please check the website for up-to-date opening days/times.

The studio can accommodate different ability levels, from complete adult beginners to experienced artists and designers who want to develop their knowledge. Group sizes are kept small and all materials, tools and firings, are provided on site. Enquiries for tuition can be made via email.
