Membership makes you part of a community of artists who create with clay using pottery wheels, slab rollers, extruders, hand-building tables & tools. Members are responsible, conscientious people who work together to run a safe , clean clay studio.
An orientation workshop is required before using the pottery studio. You'll learn where everything is, how to clean up, where to put your work for the different stages, what to do to keep the clay recycle system in good condition. You'll learn about the different work zones and what activities are permitted in those zones. A continued monthly fee gives you access to the potter's wheels and hand-building areas in the studio during open hours when a workshop is not in progress. Sign up for email notifications and you'll be notified of events happening in the studio.
Clay Art Space offers individual passes with "AutoPay" options.
Kids under the age of 12 are not recommended in the studio, but they are welcome to paint pre-made pottery up front with a parent or legal guardian present in the room with them at all times.
Kids between the ages of 12 and 17 may be added to a parents' adult pass purchase for the price of $30 per month. One kid per adult pass. Kids must be supervised at all times while in the studio.
Studio passes allow unlimited use of the facility during open hours. Scheduled orientations, workshops, rental tools, materials, clay, glazes & kiln firings are not included in the price of the passes.
An Orientation Workshop is required even for Day-Pass holders. To use a Day-Pass, it can be purchased ahead of the day(s) you plan to use the studio, but used only after an orientation is completed.
Please find the Orientation Schedule (we're working on it) and pick the day that works for you to attend. Orientations are going to be scheduled mostly on the weekends or evenings. Orientations may take as long as 3 hours to complete.
Please plan accordingly.
