A short walk from Alma Yard, among the studios and workshop spaces that thread through Plymouth's Mutley Plain and Royal William Yard, stands The Craft House. Twenty rooms, and no guests under eighteen, open onto a terrace with a bar and a coffee shop below. It is a base for people who came to this city to work with their hands — to throw a bowl, hammer steel, or pull a print — and who want a snack bar and somewhere to sit when the clay or the metal is still drying.
There is no set itinerary here. The house keeps a bar, a coffee shop and a snack bar going through the day, with board games out in the lounge and outdoor furniture on the terrace for when the Plymouth weather allows it. What it is built around is a city of workshops — pottery wheels, blacksmith forges, print studios — most of them a walk, a bike ride or a short ferry bus from the Barbican. The people behind The Craft House say they were once visitors and students in Plymouth themselves, and built the house to send guests out to the same makers who taught them.
The Craft House sets a minimum age of 18 in its own house rules, read on 25 August 2026. A house whose rule drops below eighteen, or stops naming an age, is taken off HUSH — how every house is checked.

The house lists these as things to do from here. Where a line is marked off-site it is not on the property — a dive site, a trail, a stable. That mark is ours, not theirs.
The terrace, with its outdoor furniture and the house bar, is the natural place to land once a day of forging or throwing is done. The coffee shop and snack bar cover the hours in between, so booking a workshop at short notice doesn't mean skipping a meal.
Luke Axworthy, an award-winning metalsmith, teaches one-to-one blacksmithing at Flameworks to anyone eleven and older, no experience required. Classes start with heat and hammer control and can go as far as making your own Damascus steel.
Christina Peters teaches the pottery wheel from first principles — clay preparation, centring, and the control needed to pull a cylinder before it collapses into a bowl. No previous experience is asked for.
Ocean Studios is the Real Ideas hub of resident artists, co-working space and workshops inside Royal William Yard's historic naval buildings, with a public café for a break between sessions. Reach it on foot, by bike, by car, or on the ferry bus from the Barbican, then head back for the terrace and the bar.
