Ceramics

We're getting closer to opening our ceramics studio at Creative Space, but we still have a few things to finish. We're looking for people with the right skills to help us get everything up and running, as well as a few people who would like to take on ongoing roles.

Anyone who helps us finish the studio will receive free access to the ceramics studio through at least May 31, 2027. This includes people helping with the kiln, plumbing, worktables and other improvements. We'd love to exchange access to the space for the skills and time needed to get it running.

Things we need help finishing

• Kiln repairs: replace the heating elements in our kiln.
• Kiln room: repair and level the floor, make sure the area is heat-safe, and have our qualified electrician wire up the kiln outlet.
• Kiln mentor: we have someone with the time to be our permanent kiln manager, but not the experience. We're looking for someone who can teach them how to safely operate, maintain and troubleshoot the kiln, including loading, firing schedules, and different clay and glaze requirements.
• Pottery sinks: install our sinks and plumbing, including a clay-trap system to keep clay out of the drains. We already have the sinks and hardware.
• Custom worktables: help us design and build sturdy, custom-fit worktables that make the best use of our studio space.

Members' open studio

Once the studio opens, ceramics members have open studio Monday to Thursday, 9 AM to 11 PM. See Memberships.
