and Open Studio Passes
Membership at our studio is more than just a place to go. It's an independent working space where you grow and share with other potters. We cherish the serenity that an open, inclusive community brings.
We offer 2 membership options: Premier Unlimited Membership and the Studio 4-Pass Pack.
Using the studio on your time! We have built-in open studio hours, but you can use your own key fob to work when it suits you! Parking is onsite. Please respect class hours.
Your own 60"x12" member shelf upstairs or in the Clay Nook 33" x 22"
25 lbs clay + bisque and glaze firing for that clay per month (standard 553 Buff or studio clay included, or upgrade to Laguna BMIX5, Kentucky Mudworks brown bear, or Standard 112 Speckled clay. We also offer specialty clays only to members. Porcelain and red clays for an additional charge). Firing fees apply to items over 9" and we have a makers rule for size. Oversize items should be approved first. We reserve the right not to fire oversized work.
Class tuition early notice and member pricing is 20% less for 8-week or longer classes, 3-hour workshops and some artist technique workshops.
Member-share events. Please sign up to be the member leader in one of these shares!
Opportunity to have your goods in all studio gallery and sales events. (30% commission goes back to the studio for fees, taxes, advertising, etc.)
Members are limited to 50 lbs of clay per month. This is to discourage production potters.
Members are expected to support the studio with keeping a clean environment, must reclaim their own clay, and support an inclusive environment.

Designated shelf space for your work for 6 weeks. Work is considered abandoned after 9 weeks.
12.5 lbs standard 553 buff clay (upgrade with purchase options; Laguna BMIX5, Standard 240 white stoneware, Kentucky Mudworks brown bear, or Standard 112 Speckled clay. Firing fees apply to items over 9" tall or wide with permission. We reserve the right not to fire oversized items. Ask a tech. :)
Note: Studio Pass 4-Pack members MAY NOT bring in work made at home.
The Studio Pass 4-Pack is available to prior students, workshop participants, and experienced potters who want some studio time and aren't ready to commit long term or who are taking a session class break. It's a great opportunity to work independently and stay engaged on their own schedule.
*Clay must be purchased from the studio, and all additional clay includes bisque and glaze firing to cone 5-6. We are not a production studio; please respect our community. Also, this is for inside-studio work only. We cannot accept work made at home and dropped off.
Next steps to membership
Because our studio offers such a variety of equipment and the ceramics process can be challenging, we ask our potential members to either:
Complete the membership application form AND have completed one of our 8-week classes
OR
Reserve your Studio Pass 4-Pack option for Open Studio sessions in our newly expanded space
Every studio operates differently, and we want to be sure each member is at an independent working level and understands our studio protocols around equipment, glazing, clean studio, and reclaim clay processes.
As you complete the membership form, please also state:
Your comfort with being available to help others
Your availability to take on simple studio tasks like pugging, gallery sales, and help during student Open Studio time to field questions or reassure others
Any special skills you're interested in sharing with others through hosting a member share session

Members agree to follow studio rules, which will be provided, and support our community environment.
