The Clay Corner FAQs
-
The Clay Corner is our designated section of the studio dedicated just to clay making (and clay messes!) It is our clay lab where we have 14 wheels, our slab roller, community glazes and tools, and shelves for works in progress!
-
Sorta, kinda. To gain open studio access in the clay corner, you have to be a current student in a wheel class or have taken a wheel class in the past. After that, you are more than welcome to drop in and use our wheels during our open hours. To gain access to open clay lab, check out our clay classes here.
-
The clay corner is open to those who have had a wheel class, who have taken at least 2 private sessions, or have been approved by the clay lab tech. Drop-in passes start at $40 a day with 2 pounds of clay. We recommend a membership pass for those who are interested in using the clay corner for more than just a day.
-
No. For the safety of our equipment and other’s work being fired, we do not allow outside clay into the studio. This helps us avoid firing issues and mixing of different clay-bodies that can have a whole slew of unwanted side affects. Clay must be bought at our studio.
-
We like to simplify fees at our studio. We offer new clay at $3.55-3.95 per lb and reclaim clay at $3 per lb. This covers all costs of firing and use of community glazes with no more fees after the purchase of your clay. There is a discount on clay for monthly unlimited members.
-
Sure! We fire to very specific cones. You would need to have your desired glazes approved by our ceramic instructor before being able to bring them into our studio. Home-made glazes are almost always not permitted. Store-bought glazes are easier to get approved for use.
-
No. We do not have any tools or supplies for sale at our studio. However, we can point you in the right direction and we have many community tools and supplies you can use in both our cafe and in our clay lab while at our studio.
