South Studio Membership
Your membership includes all-day access to the studio, firing, and glazing, as well as unlimited instructional classes. We call them memberships because they include a lot more than just classes, but classes are still our focus! Memberships are great for all skill levels, including those with zero ceramics experience.

What does North and South mean?
Our studio is housed in two next-door buildings, which we call the North and South studios. Our classes are offered in an incredibly open structure that lets students learn at the best pace for them — because of this, we host all classes in the South building, and members working in that studio are required to have a South Level Membership. The North studio is set up differently, to allow for maximum work space. That difference is what lets us offer North Level membership at a reduced rate.
Classes
Once you become a member, you can access our online class calendar and sign up for as many classes as you want. In addition to our weekly schedule, we offer additional courses on slip and glaze mixing, and other topics like jewelry, tiles, paper clay, luster, and open forms — taught either as a series or once a month. We recommend visiting the studio at least once or twice a week.
Class Structure
Classes are tailored individually to the students — most are open to all skill levels. Small class sizes, just 5 students, let us cater to what each person is working on, with guidance on what to learn next and how to grow. We work with each student independently, at a pace that fits their skill level and goals.
Open Studio
The studio is open 24 hours a day. Scheduled classes are held in classrooms within the studio, so other members can work independently during all business hours.
Supplies
Membership includes tools and glaze — the only thing you'll need to buy is clay. Clay is available in-house at Tacoma Clay Art store price, ranging $20–$32 per 25 lb bag.
