• Members may work on their own making cycle schedule. They are not required to follow the class timeline that includes restrictions on completion of wet work or glaze deadlines.
• Members may purchase any of the white clay bodies stocked in our store for $30.92 that includes the fees for bisque and glaze firings and access to use the studio glazes, slips, and stains. Members who wish to decorate with underglazes or use specific colors not a part of the studio palette must purchase their own.
• Work made from studio clay will be fired along with the student work. Members may request approval to use alternate clay (white or buff only) and glazes, subject to review to ensure appropriate cone ranges are understood and followed.
• If non-studio clay and/or glazes are used, then member must  pay a firing fee.

Potential reasons for cancellation include not following the rules and policies of the studio, or aggressive/rude behavior towards students or other members.
