About Drop-In
​
Drop-In participants are responsible for keeping the studio clean after use, including any tools used and mopping the floor.
Prerequisites
Drop-in is available for anyone who has taken a pottery class and can competently work with the clay, equipment and glazes without direction or is currently enrolled in a class. If you have never taken one of our classes, please email or call the studio to let us know if you have booked your first Drop-In so we can plan to have someone available to show you the ropes.
​
Cost
The cost of the drop-in program is $24/booking, $80/4 bookings (over 3 months) or $120/9 bookings a month.
Clay
Because we recycle our clay, our studio only uses white or buff clay.
Clay must be purchased through the studio. $45 will get you a 22 lb bag of clay, the glazes, and firing costs. Studio staff will do the firing for you.
​
Monthly Members
Monthly memberships can choose their start date. Membership includes the use of a full-sized ware board in a designated zone and some space to store tools. Before purchasing a monthly membership, you must inquire if there is space.
​
WORK EXCHANGE
For those who have advanced skills, you can exchange for a commitment of one shift a week as a drop-in monitor. Monitors are responsible for greeting Drop-In Members and taking payment and will be assigned a studio maintenance task. We are not currently looking for studio hosts, but if you are interested, please inquire as spaces do become available. We prefer to work with people that we know, so if you are interested in the work exchange, please consider taking some workshops with us or using the drop-in studio for at least a month or so.
