See below for our Open Studio policy and clean-up procedures. By registering, you agree to our Open Studio policy and to keep a clean and healthy studio.
We are an inclusive studio. Be respectful at all times. We love that we attract people from all walks of life and welcome you all. We do not tolerate any form of sexual harassment or discrimination.
Please complete a new waiver on the iPad.
Please let us know ASAP if you are not in class and want a make-up. Make-ups must be scheduled and taken before week 8. You may not carry over Open Studios or classes past the session end date.
All greenware must be on the to-be-fired shelf at the end of your 7th week class. No exceptions or carryovers.
We have an Open Studio QR code for sign-in. It's on the front desk upstairs and the cubby in the Clay Nook vestibule.
All clay should be QR scanned to help us track inventory.
We have new "I Made That" workshops, and current students get 20% off their registration only. Check out our themes. Ask your instructor or Debby for the discount code.
We are an Elan Transfer retailer! So excited for this honor to sell our friend's artwork and add to your decorating possibilities! You have many styles to choose from. Instructions are in the studio.
We are accepting Open Studio Membership requests for the Clay Nook on the ground floor!
Studio Reminders: Leave it better than you found it! (You agree to this when you take classes. Please refer to your confirmation email for more details. Be responsible so we stay healthy.)

Open Studio - Please make sure you leave 20 minutes for cleanup and that you end on the scheduled time. Be respectful of how much space you take up. Be careful when placing your work on a class shelf. Check in and OUT with the monitor. Clean everything including tables and the back area: sinks, floor, and glazing area. MOP ALL AREAS YOU WERE WORKING IN ~ EVERY TIME! Follow all cleanup guidelines below.
Cleanup. Wipe down everything with clean water: wheels, pans, floors, tables including the black frame, sinks, glaze buckets, benches, glaze floor area, and glaze benches. Each class must mop the studio in totality.
Clay buckets and scraps of clay. The left and middle sink is for water only. Take out all of the clay scrap and put in you reclaim bucket. We cannot reclaim your clay. Please don't randomly leave buckets on the floor.
We're implementing vaccuuming for trimmings. This keeps the studio cleaner and easier to maintain. Both studios have HEPA filter vacuums. Please follow with a mop.
Leather hard clay that you want to scrap? Ask us to learn how to reclaim your own clay! Do not leave dried pots in any of our reclaim.
White clay. We have white clay tools, bats, boards, and wedging table all stored around the wedging table. BMIX, 240 and porcelain only. Please wash the bats and put them back under the white wedging table.
Specialty clay like BB and white clays are your responsibility to reclaim. Ask for directions. Red clay is not available to students.
Do not remove any tools, wareboards, or other studio-owned property from the studio.
Refer to the maker's rule on the wall before you make large pieces. We will not fire oversize pieces if not approved prior. Remember, this is a community kiln.
Please remember that no one is allowed in the kiln room except for instructors and techs. Please -- this is for your safety and the safety of everyone's work.
No outside clay is permitted. Ever. Any kiln damage as a result of outside clay or altered clay will be billed to you. This is non-negotiable.
Respect that clay is a mined resource! Be sustainable. We offer up to 25 lb of clay for students included with an option to purchase an additional 25 lbs. We distribute clay in 1/2 bags of 12.5 lb. No new clay is given after week 6. By reclaiming you can regain about 5 lbs of clay per class. We will not accept handbuilt items done at home without instructor approval.
We reserve the right to refuse clay items made at home. Our sessions are intended for work made in the studio.
Christmas ornaments are limited to 12 per person each session.
Thank you! We prefer to focus our time on providing an amazing studio experience. Everything you do as a member and community student really matters!
