  • Optional participation in group orders for tools, clays, and other materials

Shelf Storage

Each member receives a personal shelf to safely store tools, clay, and in-progress work. Shelf size varies by membership tier (the more you’re here, the more you make!).

Kiln Access

We include a set volume of firing within each 4-week cycle:

  • Part-Time Members: up to 2 half kiln shelves (6” max height)

What's Not Included

  • Personal items like aprons and towels (please keep on your shelf area)

  • Bat systems for wheel throwing (personal use ones are encouraged if it supports your practice)

Eligibility

The Pottery Club warmly welcomes a range of experience levels, including those ready for their first independent pottery experience.

To ensure a safe and positive experience for everyone, members must complete two Pottery Foundations courses with The Pottery Club, or demonstrate equivalent experience through prior coursework or studio practice elsewhere.This helps us maintain a shared understanding of studio safety, tools, and best practices.

We’ll do a brief check-in with prospective members to make sure the studio is a good fit based on current skills and goals.
