What you also need to know.
The membership is for independent working. The sessions are not classes.
Each member will need to complete a short (15 minute) induction into the studio, where they will be shown their shelf and explained a few studio systems for them to work cohesively in the space.
There is an option to pay for a 6 monthly pass or yearly pass (at a discounted rate) - just email or come in and chat to Charlie about it.
There is an option to ‘freeze’ your membership, if you go away in the year, but this is limited to 4 weeks in the year. This can be used once only.
We have a strict 2 weeks notice on cancelling a membership. This can only be done after the 3 month minimum.
Glazing can be done in a glazing class, if you wish to use Mieke’s beautiful hand made glazes.
Under glazing and clear glazing can be used in the members sessions.
Store bought glazes may be bought info the studio for glazing, but must be approved by Mieke & Charlie for the kilns - additional firing charges may apply for firing.
Sorry, but home made glazes are not allowed in any circumstance to protect our kilns and other students work.
Please note - Memberships will open for subscriptions when we reopen after the Christmas break on January 13th
Membership positions are very limited.
