About Us
Who we are
As increasing amounts of industrial space is converted to luxury apartments, London creatives are finding it next to impossible to find studios at an affordable price.
Urban Potters is the latest open-access studio set up in South London to meet this huge demand for creative space. When the developers dropped the eviction notice on professional potter Adrian Gonzalez to quit his large bright studio in West Norwood he wanted to create a similar space with plenty of natural light, but without the leaky roof.
So with a loan from the bank he set about finding and fitting out his ideal space in which everybody could thrive. In June 2022 Urban Potters opened for business just by Camberwell Green.
