FIRING POLICIES

CONE 10 ONLY. Do not bring in outside work that is not your own. Any use of lower temp clay or glazes may result in charges for damage. Firing is $1.25 per pound for items up to 12”. Oversize items are $2.25/ per pound. 

We do our best to fire work in an excellent and efficient manner. However, variations can happen in the kilns, and we are not financially responsible for unexpected results or kiln variations. We do not take financial liability for member work, or for member production timelines. Glazes are for STUDIO USE ONLY and should not be taken out of studio. 

If you have any questions at all about a glaze or firing result, we would love to have you send us photo via email so that we can help you out, or see what happened, and it may help others as well. Please always feel free to contact us (pictures encouraged so we can see!) at clayandsupply@thepotterystudio.com.

STUDIO POLICIES

Do not sand in the studio (please no wet or dry sanding); please do not store/mix dry materials or powders.

Please no pets/dogs in the studio. Avoid recycling clay on the wedging tables; please wipe all surfaces after use.

No guests without permission at any time. Understand that breaking the guest policy will result in a $200 penalty. No shared shelves or memberships (one person per shelf, per membership.)

Members are expected to be respectful of staff and other potters, to share tables and equipment, and clean up after themselves. 

Work may not be stored on tables, left out on tables, or be stored on shelves that do not belong to the member. Members who do not follow the conduct expectations may be asked to leave. Members use the studio entirely at their own risk.

We recommend members make their own cookies to best protect their work in the firing. 

Please take phone calls outside, as it is a shared space. 

We do offer classes in the space, and a portion of the wheels are reserved for those class times. Members are expected to be respectful of teachers and students in the space, and understand that these are busier times in the studio.

Class times are posted in the studio and on the website.
