Book as many hours as you like each Sunday and let your practice find its own pace. Your membership includes a storage shelf and a wareboard, so your work in progress can wait for you between visits, with twelve studio glazes, underglaze, and wax resist for finishing each piece your way.

Member Perks
Being a member has its benefits too!
Complimentary tea and coffee, because every great studio session starts with a good cup!
Members also enjoy 10% off all classes, because there's always more to learn!
Booking
Book your studio time on our Sunday Membership booking platform.
Clay
Speckled, white and cream stoneware is available for purchase by our members.
Prefer to bring your own? You're welcome to, as long as it's a cone 6 white, cream, or speckled clay body and approved by our studio technician.
Unfortunately, coloured clay bodies aren't something we're able to accommodate at this time.
Glazes
Members get access to our 12 studio glazes, underglaze and wax.
Bringing your own glazes? Totally fine, cone 5/6 only, and you'll need to make and fire test tiles before they're cleared for use on your actual work.
Test tiles are available for purchase or you may make your own.
Firing
Members get one full combined kiln shelf (bisque + glaze) per month included in their membership fee.
Additional firing fees are as follow:
- Individual piece: $5 to $10 depending on size
- Quarter shelf: $15
- Half shelf: $25
- Full shelf: $45
- Additional height beyond the standard 6 inch shelf: $10 per additional 2 inches
- Private full kiln booking (bisque or glaze): $155
We do our best to accommodate firing timelines, but specific schedules cannot be guaranteed. A $15 fee applies for any kiln shelf damage or glaze drips, so glaze with care.
Storage
Members get a full storage shelf and one wareboard included (32 5/8" x 19 5/8", up to 70 lbs).
Security Deposit
A security deposit is required for all memberships.
Studio Etiquette
We're a shared space, and a happy studio is a clean studio. Members are responsible for cleaning their workspace, sink, and tools after every visit.
Treat the equipment and facilities with care — any damage resulting from misuse or negligence will be billed accordingly.
Studio Ceramica reserves the right to revoke a membership if studio rules are not adhered to. We'd rather not, so let's all just be good to each other and the space.
