Some of the ways we have re-opened safely include:
- Masks must be worn at all times
- Wheels & work tables are all be 6-feet apart. One person per work table.
- Time in the studio will be scheduled by each person, and will specify between Wheel or Hand Building/Glazing. We are using a space reservation system called Skedda.
- There is a limit of 3 hours per person per day on the time to make reservations. If there is space available at the end of your appointment you may stay beyond the reservation time.
- Studio Kitchen is available to re-fill your own cup or water bottle. One person at a time in the kitchen.
- Each person will be responsible for sanitizing their workspace and any shared studio tools at the end of their session.
- We will still fire pieces for those who would prefer to continue working from home, but drop off can happen without an appointment during our Retail hours, which are Wed-Sat Noon-5pm. These are the hours listed on our Google info page, Facebook, and website footer if you are ever trying to quickly and easily find that information.
The membership fee is $130 plus sales tax, billed monthly. If you pay with a check or cash you will receive a 3% discount. Fill out the form to the right to apply for membership. Due to a weird system glitch I have made all fields technically "optional" but I ask that you do complete every question.
Open Studio Hours: The times available for open studio appointments are not the same as our posted Retail hours to provide staffing flexibility while usage of the studio is slower. Open Studio Hours:
