Good Dirt Clay Studio

Studio Membership For October

• Open to anyone who has taken a class with us (or has equivalent experience)

• Access the studio 24/7 to create for the month, check member page for best practice times & door code

• Perfect if you need more flexibility than a fixed class time or want to take a month to practice what you learned in class

• No outside clays allowed. Outside glaze allowed only with prior permission. No production/high volume work.

• If it’s in your budget (and you’ve taken at least 1 class), I’d recommend adding this month’s wheel workshop: A Touch of Refinement. We created this one when we started thinking about what really made a pot nice, enjoyable to use, aesthetically pleasing, and separated “beginner-looking pots” from more polished ones. We’ll be learning how to make better handles, feet, and lips to our pieces, all visually balanced, beautifully functional, and aesthetically-pleasing. No small order, haha. Beginners through Advanced can get something out of this one. $35 for a 3 hour class with Rob on Saturday, October 18th from 1-4pm. Sign up HERE
