What does sharing a community studio mean?

All Hours Access

Membership allows you unlimited entries to practice and make your pottery for as long as you like.

Monthly Learning & Events

Our makers & members volunteer to host study groups and events 1-3 times a month. Available for free to all members.

Funds Reinvested

Your monthly fee directly pays for rental and overhead costs. The balance is not extracted as profit, but reinvested back into you!

Sell Your Work

Members are eligible to sell select work at our retail outlet and participate in our bi-annual Craft Fairs.

Vote On Reinvestments

We are developing a membership committee for long term members to vote on how finances are spent and distributed at the coop.

Mutual Learning Community

The best way to learn is to share with others. Working alongside professionals and hobbyists encourages mutual learning.
