Interested in using our studio?
To access our Members Studio, you must first be a member of the Guild (see the section above). Potential candidates must possess the necessary experience to work independently in the studio.
As a community-run, non-profit space, everyone pitches in to keep things running smoothly. Members with studio access must contribute 36 service hours per year (3 hours a month). There are lots of great teams to join, so you can help out in a way that suits you!
Application Process
Interviews are held on the second Thursday of the month from January to June and September to November. We don’t conduct interviews over the summer or in December.
Use the form below to fill out an application. Your application will be reviewed, and you’ll be invited to the next interview date. Once you’re approved, we’ll send you the link to access the payment and registration page.
To be eligible for studio access, applicants must have either been a student of ClayWorks Studio for at least two years and have an instructor’s recommendation, or have enough background to confidently work in a clay studio independently.
