HISTORY and GENERAL INFO
The Stanford Ceramics club has just opened our new studio. As Stanford has had no studio for the past 13 years, this is incredibly exciting! We are located in the Elliot Program Center
The club is a student-run organization. We are open for membership. Members will pay a quarterly studio use fee and have 24 hour access to the studio and their own shelf! Clay will be available for purchase from the club.
We have 10 electric wheels, one kick wheel, handbuilding tables, a slab roller, an extruder, and an electric kiln. We will be firing to cone 10. We ask that members only use our clays, to prevent mishaps and keep the studio cleaner.
The clays we will be selling are Stoneware, Grogzilla, B-mix with grog and Soldate 60. For more information about these, see the links section. We sell these at price and buy in bulk, so costs are cheap. You can buy clay from a studio manager during open hours.
STUDIO MEMBER, CLASS, and OPEN HOUR info
Ways to be involved with the studio:
MEMBERS
Membership is intended for those who already know their way around a studio. If you've had a year or more experience with ceramics and want a studio to work in, membership is for you! Members will pay a fee ($50 for full quarters), attend cleanups, and have 24 hour access to the studio and their own shelf space. If you are interested in being a member, new member training is at the beginning of every quarter. E-mails will be sent to the mailing list when these are scheduled.
STUDENTS
We offer student-taught classes at the ceramics studio. They will be classes of about 10, in both throwing and handbuilding, and the number that we will offer will depend on how many available teachers we have and how much interest there is. Classes are $50. For more information, click the Classes tab on the left. You do not have to be a member to take the class, but you can be.
DROP-IN HOURS
Drop in hours can be viewed on the calendar. A teacher or studio manager will be in the studio during open hours. They are designed for students to come in and do additional practice or work on pieces, and for people who are not members or students to come see the studio and try working with clay. Please note that you're welcome to come in and try throwing during open hours, but you will not be able to make anything that you can keep unless you are a member or student.
