Studio Membership
Membership is for those who are experienced enough with clay to work on their own without instruction. We offer varying shelf size options from $120-$220/month - please see our application above for more info.
*At this time, we do not have enough space to accommodate large scale production potters.
Membership includes:
24/7 Access using personal Butterfly pin code
There are two work spaces and a dedicated glazing area. During classes, one studio will always be fully open to members.
The class schedule will be posted on KilnFire for members to access to be able to align their time accordingly for specific equipment needs.
A dedicated shelf space (varying options avail.) to store your work and your own tools
If you need more space, please email us at hello@theceramicsdept.com. We do not offer private studios at the moment.
Use of all equipment:
10 Shimpo and Laguna Pacifica wheels
Wall mounted extruder w/ various dyes
Slab roller
Double work sink
4 wedging tables
9 communal work tables (4’x8 and 2’x8 working table area)
Our communal space is first come, first serve
Our shared tool wall and growing library
2600 square foot studio with concrete floors + windows
Our space is nestled on the ground floor within VIA - so we’re apart of a larger community. At times, there may be other events happening throughout the building, in the atrium, or within the courtyard. Our space is private and you do need a key code to enter our studio.
Access to electric firings (firing fee included in the price of clay purchased in our retail store.)
We are slowly bringing the former Uarts kilns back online. Right now, we have 2 Skutt 1027’s. There are several gas kilns on the property that we are working on restoring and 2 large front-loading Bailey’s. We will bring 1 of the front loaders online first for those working large scale.
Use of our 10 shop glazes from Standard Ceramic Supply Co.
On site retail for clay. We carry multiple Standard Clay options.
A new and growing clay community, as well as the entire VIA community :)
