More than a studio — a creative community

To ensure a positive experience for all please review our Member Handbook

To help our studio community thrive, members are asked to contribute approximately 2 volunteer hours per month to the studio. Volunteer participation helps keep our shared space welcoming, functional, and community-focused for everyone.

Volunteer opportunities may include:

  • Participating in our weekly member cleaning day (typically 1–2 hours)

  • Serving as a Studio Monitor during designated open studio times

  • Reclaiming studio clay

We deeply appreciate every member’s contribution of time and care. These shared efforts help create the supportive and creative community that makes our studio special.
