A Space for Experienced and Emerging Potters

Members Guidelines:

CIY Pottery, including its members and membership space, is an inclusive and supportive community of makers. We kindly ask that our members respect the space and their fellow makers by maintaining a clean workspace, minimizing any unnecessary noise, and leaving equipment and facilities tidy. We are focused on building a community of makers that feel safe, inspired, and supported.

Thank you for your interest in our pottery studio. Membership is currently full, and the waitlist is very long. Please be aware that we experience very little turnover in our membership, thus one can expect the wait to be quite long. We are considering expanding our space but that would be in 2026 at the earliest.
