What is included with membership?
Studio Access:
Once your membership is set up, you’ll receive access to the 24hr Pottery app. The app acts as your studio key, provides kiln unload updates, tracks purchases, connects you to community boards, and keeps you informed about studio updates and events. As the name promises, you’ll have 24/7 access to the studio, no matter your membership tier.
Clay, Glazes & Firing:
Clay can be purchased directly through the app, with options from Marjon Ceramics and Laguna Clay. Brush and dip glazes, low-fire and mid-fire, are included in your membership. You may bring your own clay and glazes as long as the clay is compatible with our kiln temperatures, low to mid-range, and outside glazes are commercially premixed and AP certified. Dry materials, raw glaze mixing, or unknown formulas are not permitted. Only work made in the studio may be fired in our kilns, and home-made or outside work will not be fired.
Storage & Membership Holds:
Memberships are designed for personal and hobby-scale use and are not suitable for commercial or high-volume production. In-process storage is provided for active work only. Personal tools and clay must be stored in an optional rented cubby, $15/month, or taken home between visits. Storage fees are added to your monthly membership, and personal items left on shelves or floors outside of active projects may be removed. You may pause your membership for $30/month to hold your spot in the studio. Pausing ensures your spot is saved and waives the $39 supply fee when you return.
Pauses & Cancellations:
To ensure smooth studio operations, we require a full month’s advance notice for pauses or cancellations. Requests must be received by the last day of the month two months before the change begins. Please email us or message us through the member app to request a pause or cancellation. Please review the member policies for additional membership details.
