  • Members must have completed the orientation, read the orientation guide and agreed to terms and conditions/policies of the studio. â€‹

​

Materials, Firing & Storage:

We have a communal clay model:​

  • There is no charge for clay. We share clay from a communal clay bin.

  • The studio manages clay which ensures that the clay doesn’t dry out and is recycled efficiently (we hope this reduces dust and waste)

  • Monthly firing allowance is 5 lbs (dried greenware weight measured before bisque fire) and $1/lb after.  For reference, a typical bowl would be $1 to fire.

​

Please talk to us if you are thinking about making a piece greater than 10 inches wide/tall -there are limitations on our firing size. We are not a production facility and reserve the right to limit member’s firings based on size and quantity- this helps enable fair turnaround for everyone’s work.

​

Members will receive a work-in-progress shelf (36"x12”) and unlocked tool drawer (4” x 12”).

 

Member Fees:

Member Fees are billed monthly.  Firing fees can be added to the next month’s bill or can be paid separately.  

Please give us 30 days notice before cancellation.  We do not allow pauses or holds to memberships.
