Grounded By Designs is an eco-conscious ceramic studio based in Carrington, Newcastle, offering a welcoming space to slow down, get creative and connect through clay. Nestled inside MOA & co, a beautifully restored warehouse marketplace, the studio invites visitors to experience the joy of handmade ceramics through guided workshops and relaxed, self-directed sessions.

Founded by local artist Myf Garven, Grounded By Designs celebrates sustainability, intentional craftsmanship and the everyday ritual of making. Whether you're visiting for a structured workshop like Coffee & Claytime, where you'll hand-build your own vessel over a morning coffee, or popping in for a casual Play with Clay session, there's an experience to suit all skill levels and interests.

You can also explore Paint Your Piece, where you choose a handmade bisqued piece and decorate it with your own design. No two pieces are the same, and each visit offers something new. All offerings focus on creativity without the pressure of perfection, making it perfect for locals, visitors, and small group gatherings alike.

Drop in during MOA & co's open hours or book online. Whether you're after a mindful solo session or planning a special celebration, Grounded By Designs offers something beautifully hands-on, grounded in community and made to be enjoyed.
