LOAM Clay Studio offers open studio membership to responsible individuals with enough experience to work independently in our studio.
promotes a positive studio experience for everyone here.
in your transition to become an open studio member work comfortably on your own projects, at your own pace, without extra supervision.
We aim to promote a positive working studio experience where YOU feel well-supported and comfortable working independently in a shared studio environment, and where WE know you're well-versed in LOAM's studio's rules and best practices.
Most importantly, when there's mutually shared confidence in your ability to navigate the steps of making/storing/glazing your own work safely and independently,
as our staff are busy keeping the studio running and are often not available to answer questions or provide guidance. We appreciate your understanding.
You should be able to monitor your own pots, centre your own clay, trim wheel-thrown pieces/construct handbuilt work to a project-appropriate thickness, and effectively glaze your own pots - all without assistance or support.

For our 1 shelf potters, this allows for more flexibility in having your own designated space to keep your work and allows you unlimited hours per month! Some additional information:
Members who choose to enrol in the new flat fee shelf membership will have existing hours credited towards their new flat monthly rate.
Please note that we are a pottery studio that aims to nurture learning, creativity and improvement. We hope that all our potters strive to improve from whatever level they are at. We cannot accommodate production as we do not have the space or kiln capacity for this.
