Had my first visit to the studio recently, and I was so glad I made the journey.

The studio has so many areas to shoot I really didn't know where to start as I had lots of ideas I wanted to work with. From the white cove, to the piano and the Kiln itself, what a space it is.

I spoke with both Zach and Liam during my visit, both were very welcoming and it was great to chat with both of them.

I would highly recommend this space to any photographer and hope to return again soon, to cover the areas I didn't have time for.

Keep up with the good work team, you have a great place.

Had my first shoot at the Studio last Friday. What a fantastic studio. Couldn’t believe how many different sets there were to use. Zach who runs the studio is very helpful but leaves you to get on with taking your photos.They had recently re-done one of the areas and plan to add another soon.

Down stairs is the Kiln with plenty of options for intriguing lighting.

There are plenty of windows if you wish to shoot with daylight.

I can thoroughly recommend this studio and I certainly will use it again.

I had a brilliant shoot at the Kiln studio space with Georgia Brown and it really is a superb studio setup to shoot in!

The studio is well equipped with everything you’ll need and Zach was a wonderful, professional, helpful, and friendly host! The studio has wonderful room setups and unique areas too. It’s versatile, big, bright and has a bit of everything that can cater for so many different shoots - there is so much there we barely scratched the surface of what’s possible and can be used. I’m so pleased Georgia recommended this studio - I can’t wait to shoot there again, it's a wonderful space!

Highly recommended to all photographers and models!

I did a duo shoot @thekilnstudio with resident model @georgiaiaxox & @Wianamodel.

What a fantastic day! Amazing professional models who are posing machines, well invested in the creative process, and take direction well. They are totally into getting the most out of a duo shoot and getting along.

The studio is a great venue with some very unconventional gems available (such as the Kiln, pottery workshop and grand piano) and unique areas as backdrops.

My only complaint is that a day is way too little, working with such professionals.

PS. I want back there the following Monday with another model.

Still highly recommended.

A brilliant afternoon at The Kiln with Daniella Carter, using pretty well all of the space including the amazing bottle kiln.

Zach was very friendly and helpful, even offering to help with carrying my bags from the car. The studio is well equipped with lighting equipment, but the huge windows provide excellent natural light, too.

Definitely one to add to my list next time I'm in the area!

Absolutely blown away by this space during a shoot with Georgia Brown on 19 March.

Georgia had made the recommendation and it was everything she said it would be - amazing daylight (although there were plenty of strobes and modifiers had they been required); different sets; distressed walls; props-a-plenty; and a totally gobsmacking bottle kiln on the ground floor.

Zac was an amazing host and after a quick show around, allowed us to just get on with it.

There is so much to work with here that despite the distance, I'll back the first chance I get.

Wow - what an amazing studio space.

Was looking for a place to shoot somewhere in between Manchester and Birmingham and am so glad I booked this studio.

Zach and Emeli were perfect hosts making drinks for everyone and then giving us a tour of the place.

I was like a child in a sweet shop (and so were the models!). So many areas, props, outfits and more.

I think I could spend a week at this studio and still be finding new places and ideas for shots.

Really cool place and I can't wait to return.

I've been wanting to come to this studio for quite a while, it is such a cool space! So much variety for places to shoot and we got a really good amount of different stuff shot.

I especially love the old kiln and how unique it is!

The potential of this site as a creative studio space is limitless. Zach was there ready to greet us as we arrived. He was very friendly and showed us around the whole site to see what could be used and what equipment was available offering us drinks on arrival.

I have previously visited kiln twice once for their open day event and then for a group shoot with Sammi Jynx but to be able to use it individually for a planned purpose really gave me the chance to experiment in this versatile space. So many studios are small and "intimate" these days where as kiln has the space to really allow myself to get creative with the cosplayers I work with the majority of the time.

Already have my next shoot booked to use Kiln and planning future shoots there as well.

Great studio, love the kiln, ElaineClair and I had a very productive shoot, see you again on the 24th

My first shoot at the studio having previously visited for the open day. Zach was a great host, showing me around and explaining some of the new features that had been added since my visit on the open day plus talking about some of the ideas they had to add new options.

I only used the upstairs space and resisted the idea to shoot outside or in the kiln as it was rather chilly that day but I had more than enough to work with between the pre-built sets, curve and walls, doorways and windows.

Its a great space that I need to explore further and see how I can use it in different ways.

I had the pleasure of shooting at this fabulous studio recently as a result of being contacted by the hosts about a studio day they were organising. Communications were wonderful in the lead up and on the day both Em and Zack were really easy to communicate and work with.

It has a wonderful array of spaces with so many possibilities from a plain studio backdrop through to wonderful brick and tile walls. Although I didn't shoot in it this time the kiln itself is an amazing feature which could be used in so many creative ways.

The studio benefits from amazing natural light but also has an excellent range of artificial light and support in using these if necessary. My shoot was all natural light work.

I have no hesitation in recommending the studio and am very much looking forward to going back and working there again in the future.

great studio and space to work in

needs multiple visits to use all the facilities so i will be back again for sure ✔️

ATP60

A really varied and creative space to work in; the Kiln alone is worth the visit but there is a lot more space to use as well. I'll happily use again. Thanks Emily.

ElaineClair

I have a wonderful shoot here with ATP60. This was my second visit to the studio and it’s even better than the the last time. I managed to get to shoot inside the kiln space and it’s a stunning area to work in. Emily was wonderful and so helpful. I cannot wait to come back again. Thank you.

It was my first time shooting at the kiln, with a 1-2-1 with sj jinx. What a fabulous and interesting place, very versatile with loads of natural light, the owners are very friendly and helpful, totally recommended and will definitely be back

I had a great 121 studio day and group shoot event at The Kiln.

It really is such a versatile and beautiful space and even though I've been there a few times now there is still so much I haven't used!

I am already planning my next group shoot here and can't wait!

The team are always very friendly and do their best to help out and there's a great amount of lighting kit to use to.

I'd highly recommend this space and can't wait to get back!

Mercia Storm

Had a very brief cosplay duo shoot at the Kiln and what a beautiful studio! The sets are fantastic and the kiln itself is fantastic! Georgia was so lovely and helpful especially whilst I was scrambling around on the bike. I hope I can return soon for a proper shoot!

I’ve shot here 4 times now and every single shoot has been different. And that’s not just due to working with 4 different sets of people. That’s largely due to how inspiring this place is for such a range of different shots and looks and feels. It’s a huge space with so much to offer I. From the natural light to the more ‘studio’ elements like the large infinity cove. The join area is super atmospheric. I haven’t even shot on the top floor yet. The last shoot myself and the model even decided not to make any plans and just get is poured by the space with whatever came to us on the day and got some great shots. Part of me doesn’t want to recommend this place but only so I can keep it for myself 😃

The team is great to work with and they’re really trying to creat me something special here.
