Give someone you love a place to slow down, switch off and make something with their hands.

The Black Duck Studio Membership is a gift of creative time — a welcoming space where they can step away from the everyday and think about nothing but making.

Whether it’s a partner who never seems to make time for themselves, or something the kids can all chip in for Mum, it’s a gift that keeps giving.

They’ll have a place that’s just for them.

A place to come, get their hands dirty, experiment, learn something new and enjoy the simple satisfaction of making something from scratch.

More than a gift

Membership includes:

• 4 making sessions
• 4 glazing sessions
• 4 carry-on sessions —time to create without the pressure of finishing everything in one sitting
• Materials and firing included
• Flexible booking system

Make the gift feel special

Once you’ve purchased the membership, you’ll receive a beautiful printable gift certificate to personalise and give to them.

Add their name, a message and your own personal touch — something they can unwrap and keep, rather than simply receiving an email confirmation.

What our gifted members say

There’s something special about receiving the gift of creative time — particularly when it’s something you might not have thought to give yourself.

“My partner bought me a Black Duck Studio pottery membership as a gift mainly because he thought I needed to spend more time doing things for myself. I don’t think either of us realised just how much I’d love it. It’s now one of my favourite things to do. I love the time I spend there. I can get stuck into whatever I’m making and for a few hours, that’s all I need to think about. There’s no To Do list to get through or anyone needing something from me. Just me, some clay and an idea that may or may not work out quite how I imagined! It’s been great having something I do purely because I enjoy it. I’m learning, making things and actually taking time for myself, which i am usually pretty hopeless at doing. Such a thoughtful gift, and one that keeps making me happy.” – Lorna Farrar

Give them time to make

It’s easy to buy someone another thing.

It’s harder to give them time — time that belongs entirely to them.

A Black Duck membership gives them a reason to put everything else aside for a while and come into the studio, settle in and create.

A welcoming space. A little time for themselves. Something to make.

Prefer to let them choose?

Give them the freedom to choose with a Black Duck Studio gift card.

It’s a simple way to give the gift of making while letting them choose the experience that suits them — whether that’s a workshop, a new project, or something else they’ve had their eye on.

A little something to put towards their next creative adventure.
