On the garden level, our spacious 2100 square foot community ceramics studio is designed to accommodate both hand-builders and throwers. Each member enjoys a dedicated 2’ x 4’ x 14” shelf for their personal work and tools, along with access to a broad range of ceramics equipment. Our private ceramics studio space in Denver is tailored for makers looking to move beyond supervised studio hours and classrooms, those who may be working at home with limited space and resources, and artists seeking creative independence. We provide access to those with the skills and experience to independently bring their creative visions to life.

We welcome artists with a variety of goals: those who want to be involved in the entire ceramic process from raw clay to the final glaze firing; those who value the flexibility to work at their own pace on their own schedule in an uncrowded space; and those looking to advance their skills and/or work independently. Our studio model allows makers to manage their own process, creativity and timeline while working in a quiet, focused environment.

The studio facility equipment is shared with ceramic artists renting private spaces who each have their own wheel, making and storage areas. The available resources in the large common area include 9 potter’s wheels, two slab rollers, an extruder, 5 cone six electric kilns, a spray booth, a selection of 10 shop glazes, a glaze mixing area and a glazing area. All ceramics members fire their own kilns or share kiln space with others. We provide free, expert, technical training and guidance for kiln loading, firing and glaze mixing, including 1-on-1 mentored firing support until you are completely confident loading and programming our kilns independently to get your pieces safely all the way through the process. And it is a great fit for artists who already have kiln loading and firing experience. You can bring in your own underglazes and commercial glazes. And we can help answer ceramics related questions.

Membership is $180 per month. To protect our equipment, our culture, and your work, we require a 6-month minimum commitment, a security deposit, and a basic skills assessment for all incoming members. Firing fees are simple, predictable, flat fees based strictly on kiln size and temperature (we have 5 different sized electric kilns), not measurements by the piece. Studio hours are 8 am to 10 pm, seven days a week, with a personal key to your studio home.
