In a nutshell: 

You must be over 18 to join as a member.

We are not open to the public and you must be a member to access our studio space. 

Membership includes access to the workshop space, skills workshops and combined members firings.

Annual membership is $60.00/$40 concession.  

 Membership requests are discussed bi-monthly during members meetings, membership is determined on space and what you will be using the studio for. So please give us as much detail as you can.  

You will not hear from us until your interest in becoming a member has been proposed at a bi-monthly members meeting but we will be in touch to let you know the outcome so please keep an eye on your inbox (and spam folder!). If your membership is received after the members meeting, it will be heard at the next meeting. 

Membership - Once you have been approved in a members meeting, you will be invited to a mandatory induction, where you will formally have to accept and pay for your membership. If you do not attend an induction, your membership will not progress. Once you become a member, all official communication is exclusively through our private WhatsApp channels. 

Payment - Your membership must be paid as part of the membership process. If you do not make a payment, arrange payment or talk to us about your circumstances, your membership will not progress. Payment can be done directly on a square terminal at the Studio.  

Members sessions - The studio is regularly open by volunteers in the evenings during weekdays and on Friday and Sunday during the day. Details on opening times will be shared during an induction. Members sessions are to be paid on the day of attendance and are $5. 

Workshops - For beginners we strongly encourage you to attend our beginners’ workshops.  As a member you will have access to all of the skills workshops, talks, events and markets that we are involved in.

Pottery supplies - as a member you will be able to purchase clay, tools and glazes from the studio. 

Firings - The studio is volunteer based, and all members contribute to the running of the space. Our firings are combined members work, we fire to 1000'C bisque, and 1210'C Midfire. We have clay available at this firing ranges which members can purchase from the volunteer who is opening a members session.

We do not offer a firing service or membership for firing only - members that have applied for membership and do not engage with the community  or use the space in the first 3 months except for firing will be contacted and your membership may be cancelled as membership spaces are limited. Because all our firings are done by volunteers, we cannot guarantee regular firings. People who use the Studio space during sessions and workshops will be prioritised. If you need your items by specific dates/times we recommend to use firing service in the area.

Volunteering  - As part of your membership you will be asked to contribute your time to the studio in some way, such as joining in a working bee, participating in the monthly deep clean, bringing in some toilet paper, volunteering at an event, moving clay or recycling every bit helps our community.
