Studio Standards

Welcome to our studio—a place of connection, creation, and discovery. Here, we gather as makers to celebrate the joy of working with our hands, shaping raw earth into pieces that reflect our visions and stories. This space was built for the artist in all of us, and every person who steps inside adds something special to its spirit.

To honor this shared journey, here are a few practices we hold dear:

Creating Together in Community
Our studio is more than a place to work—it’s a community where we lift each other up. No matter where you are on your pottery path, you’re welcome here. This is a space for open hearts and minds, where we value kindness, learning, and encouragement. Together, we create a safe and inspiring space that nurtures every artist who joins us.

Mindful Making: Respecting the Medium
As with all meaningful work, pottery has its own rhythm and its own care. Dry clay dust, while natural, can be a hazard if it lingers in the air, so we don’t allow dry sanding of any kind in the studio. We also keep air purifiers running at all times, equipped with fresh filters. To respect our space and the health of everyone here, we ask that you take special care to clean up any dry clay or scraps as you work. A clean space allows us to continue creating safely, and it helps honor the beauty of our craft.

Maintaining a Shared Sanctuary
This studio belongs to all of us, and each of us plays a role in keeping it inviting and ready for the next hand that touches the clay. After your time here, we ask that you wipe down your station, clean your tools, and return the space to the calm and welcoming state that you found it in. Small gestures like these keep our studio a sanctuary for all who create here.

Thank you for bringing your creativity, care, and respect to this space. Together, we’re shaping not only clay but also a community that reflects the true joy of creating.
