Uninstructed Studio Time

Service Description

Uninstructed Studio Time is designed for independent ceramicists who are comfortable working on their own. Customers may book stand-alone sessions or schedule studio time as part of an ongoing membership (members will use their custom member code). Please note that pottery production is NOT permitted. To book studio time, you must complete at least one multi-week pottery course, either at Pinch or another ceramics studio. Please note: instruction is not provided during these sessions. Participants are fully responsible for all aspects of the process, including wedging clay, recycling scraps, managing their work, and thoroughly cleaning and resetting their workspace. In short — you’ll be flying solo. Each session is a 90-minute time block and includes access to a potter’s wheel, handbuilding tables, dipping glazes, and all standard studio tools. Clay and firing charged separately. Projects are entirely self-directed, allowing you to work at your own pace. ⸻ Booking Options: Stand-Alone Sessions: • $30 per 90-minute session • $2.50 per lb of clay • Firing fees charged separately 6-Hour Membership (4 sessions): • $100/month ($25 per 90-minute session) • $1.50 per lb of clay • Firing fees charged separately • Includes additional member perks 12-Hour Membership (8 sessions): • $184/month ($23 per 90-minute session) • $1.50 per lb of clay • Firing fees charged separately • Includes additional member perks ⸻ Firing Fees: Firing fees are charged separately based on the finished piece’s largest dimension (height or width, whichever is greater):     •    $4 for pieces under 6”     •    $8 for pieces 6”–12”     •    $16 for pieces 13”–16” Firing fees are due upon completion of the glaze firing and must be paid in full (at the studio) prior to taking work home. ⸻ Membership Perks: Studio members enjoy all of the same access to tools, equipment, and materials as those booking stand-alone uninstructed sessions — with added savings and benefits.

Please bring the clay box or a clear photo of the packaging so we can confirm it meets our firing standards. The same approval process applies to any glazes brought into the studio.
