Rathbone Studio

Part of the iconic Della Robbia Pottery was situated at 28 Argyle Street, Birkenhead, between 1894 – 1906. The ethos behind the Della Robbia Pottery was to bring individuality to each piece produced; allowing the artist to express and create unique and original designed ceramic work. Rathbone Studio aims to bring back the zeitgeist spirit of the Della Robbia Pottery to Birkenhead.

Rathbone Studio offers ongoing Pottery Workshops. These happen each week and signing up for a space will ensure that we guide you to create really amazing pieces. All work produced will be fired and there are regular exhibitions of student work produced in the classes. It is suggested that you take a beginners class before requesting a place in our regular workshops unless you have prior experience. Please email if you would like more information. 

As well as a constantly changing exhibition of pottery and sculptural ceramics from studio owner Janet Holmes and the pieces created during the Rathbone Studio Workshops, Rathbone Studio also regularly exhibits local artists, photographers and other creatives.

The Rathbone Studio has a wide range of classes from Beginners through to Advanced and even dedicated Sculptural and Crockery Focused classes to suit a range of ambitions and creative impulses.
