Looking for a space that sparks and inspires your imagination? A space to make your creative clay visions become a reality. Here at Earthbound we strive to be so much more than just a studio space. We intend on creating a beautiful sanctuary that fosters and supports a community of artists. A space where you can work quietly as you lose yourself completely in your project or a space where you can bounce ideas off fellow artists of all ages and levels of experiences. Memberships are like magical keys that give you access to this creative oasis.

Who is eligible?

* Approval required by owners in advance. Reach out via email and share your previous experience working with clay and in studio environments.

Earthbound reserves the right to decline and approve memberships as they see fit. This space is designed with the intention of being supportive, and inclusive. Being respectful of others is an important prerequisite for memberships. Members are aware and respectful of the space, other members and adhere to safety procedures. We prefer that members take a 4-week beginner/refresher course in wheel throwing or handbuilding to orient themselves to the studio procedures. If a prospective member would like to join without a refresher course, we would like to do an in-person interview and an orientation. ALL NEW MEMBERS MUST ATTEND AN ORIENTATION FIRST SUNDAY OF THE MONTH AT 10am on the 3rd of November. (After that orientation the studio is yours!) The month of December orientation for new members will be at 2pm.

*No production potters allowed

If you’re aspiring to be a full-time potter who sells online and at events, we appreciate your enthusiasm! However, our current space isn’t set up for the high volume that production potters typically create. This requires significant kiln space and extensive use of stock glazes, which we cannot support at this time. Thank you for your understanding!

Here’s what you get for $150 a month:

• 16 hours a month of studio access. That comes out to 4 hours per week! These hours can be used during open studio times each week-as space allows

• Access during class times-as space allows (students are prioritized during class times)

• Use of stock glazes, equipment and tools

• Use of an assigned cubby/locker to store your personal clay/tools

• Use of a personal shelf for storing your work in progress

• Firing of up to 25 pieces (larger pieces are subject to additional fees)

• Monthly dues are paid through this website.

CLAY AND GLAZE POLICY: Members are required to purchase their clay from Earthbound. The cost can be up to $25 for a 25 lb. bag depending on the. Once we begin reclaiming/recycling our clay, we will be able to offer recycled clay at a discounted rate. There will be an additional cost for firing large items or items that take up a lot of kiln space. No outside clay or glazes are to be used without Sandra’s approval in advance. *I will want to see the bag or bottle information to confirm Cone temperature (if unmarked, the answer will be “no”). If your unapproved clay or glaze gets in and damages the kiln you may be released from your membership or asked to help pay for repairs, depending on the situation.
