With huge thanks to all the donating artists, the team at London Craft Week and all the buyers at the Secret Ceramics exhibition, we have funded another studio. This time, it’s in West London.

WEST Youth Zone is a new charity that has developed a purpose-built facility for West London’s young people aged 8 – 19, and up to 25 for those with additional needs. The Youth Zone is part of a EdCity, a new Education hub based in White City.

Opened in the spring of 2024 (photos above), WEST has the motto, ‘where everyone sticks together’.

We love this mentality. FiredUp4 exists by the power of the ceramic community coming together to fundraise to get soft clay into young hands.

We have added them to our studio installation schedule and look forward to adding clay to their brilliant range of activities.
