Just a 5-minute walk from Highgate Station on the Northern Line, the studio is surrounded by the ancient wild woods that flank Muswell Hill Road.
A huge, airy, saw-toothed industrial building with an adjacent courtyard garden, it is home to a new community of makers in North London, offering space for a lot more people to fit creativity into their everyday life.
Located in a small industrial enclave surrounded by Queen’s woods, the new studio has spent the last 25 years as a houseplant design workshop. A classic 1930s brick built industrial building, the 6000 sq ft structure has a north-facing saw-tooth roof, which offers the perfect light for crafting. Lovingly renovated by its former occupier, a life-long collector of British studio ceramics and a personal friend of some of the leading ceramicists of the post-war generation, its pillars are painted a distinctive orange. This playful touch has been developed further with Turning Earth’s new range of colourful, mid-century inspired furniture.
