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- or 8-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
