The Studio
A shared space built around clay, water and the wheel — where a growing team of makers works, teaches, and fires.
Our name
Πάντα ῥεῖ
everything flows
Studio Rhei takes its name from Heraclitus. Panta rhei — everything flows. It's the quiet idea behind everything we make: clay in motion, the turn of the wheel, water and fire, nothing standing still for long. A studio is never finished; it's always in the middle of becoming.
The space
A working studio, open to all
Tucked just off Kingsland Road, Studio Rhei is a daylight studio five minutes from Dalston Junction. It began as the home of ceramicist Dimitris Papailias and has grown into a shared space where makers work side by side and small groups come to learn.
Everything happens under one roof — throwing, hand building, trimming, glazing and firing. Whether you're sitting at a wheel for the first time or developing your own body of work, there's room here to make.
What's here
Wheels, kilns & glazes
The studio is fully equipped for teaching and independent practice, with everything included when you join a class.
- Individual pottery wheels for every student
- Electric and gas kilns for bisque and glaze firing
- A palette of 12 studio glazes, mixed in-house
- Clay, tools, aprons and wash facilities provided
- Small groups — never more than 5 to 6 at once
- A calm, daylight space to think and make
