Swift playground - Instance member cannot be used on type custom class

I'm trying to implement the following code in an playground:

class File {
    class func open(path: String, encoding: NSStringEncoding = NSUTF8StringEncoding) -> String? {
        if NSFileManager().fileExistsAtPath(path) {
            do {
                return try String(contentsOfFile: path, encoding: encoding)
            } catch let error as NSError {
                print(error.code)
                return nil
            }
        }
        return  nil
}

But when I try to access the class:

let read = File()
let content = read.open("ba")

I get this error: "Instance member "read" cannot be used on type custom type "File" "

Any of you knows why of this error or how can I fix it?

I would really appreciate your help.

You've defined a static method so its accessible like

let content = File.open("ba")
