Ceramics studio memberships available 🏺 Opening soon 🏺
Already know your way around a pottery studio?* We’ve got space set aside just for you to work on your pots. We’re opening soon, in February 2025. Contact us to sign up in advance and reserve your spot!
Memberships are $200/month and include 24-hour access to our studio via a secure key-code, a dedicated 24in x 24in shelf space, clay storage, and use of studio tools, equipment, glazes, underglazes, and more.
*Members must be at least 18 years old, have some ceramics/pottery experience, and be comfortable operating independently in a ceramics studio. You don’t need to have taken a class at Bittersweet before to be eligible for a membership!
That said, if you don’t have pottery experience, don’t feel comfortable using the studio & equipment on your own, or you feel you need a refresher, don’t sign up for a membership just yet - consider signing up for a series class first instead!
When you sign up for a membership, we’ll reach out to schedule your orientation to go give you a tour and go over the membership agreement & studio safety.

firings
We fire work to cone 04 for bisque, and cone 6 for glaze.
Members will not fire kilns, kilns will only be fired by staff. That said, you should expect our kilns to be fired at least biweekly. We fire work on a regular basis.
As a member, if you have a special firing schedule request, let us know, and we will do our best to accommodate you!
rates
$1.00/lb (each firing)
You’ll weigh the work & note the weight at the time you place it on the kiln loading shelf. Firing fees can be paid immediately via Venmo, or through the website, otherwise they must be paid by the end of the month.
