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!

Vote on Investments
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.
Why Open Access Membership?It takes 10,000 hours to become a master a skill. More equipped than a home studio, more flexible than a class, and surrounded by a large community of experienced potters, Friends Craft Coop’s pottery studio membership is the best place to develop your skills.
