About Us

Familia Studios was set up and is run by Georgie Dixon, a ceramics maker from Manchester with 10+ years experience working and teaching in open-to-the-public pottery studios in Brighton, Melbourne, Australia and Manchester. 

Georgie is active in the ceramics community in Manchester, making pottery as Studio Geo and also running The Big Manchester Potshop. You'll find Georgie teaching most of the wheel classes at Familia.

Throughout the year we host one-off workshops in both wheel throwing and hand-building, private events, 6-week courses in wheel throwing and our Friday night Intro to Pottery is our 'sculpt and sip' style offering, held once per month. Our spacious studio is conveniently located in Ardwick, where we aim to foster an encouraging, judgement-free, creative environment in which complete beginners and intermediate makers can come along and feel part of the furniture.
