Collection: Open Studio

These items are only to be purchased by those who have taken a 6 Week Wheel Lesson or who have previously discussed it with Nicole, the owner.

Studio Memberships start in June 2023 unless discussed with Nicole. 

Studio Membership Overview:

What do Monthly Memberships Entail?

- Monthly memberships give you full access to the studio Monday - Saturday from 10 am-9 pm. The only caveat is that there may or may not be wheels available on Monday and Thursday evenings from 7-9 or Saturdays before 10:30. You could still come during those times to glaze.

- Monthly Memberships also get you an invite Membership Munchies or whatever we decide to call our members-only meal once a quarter. During these times, we'll have a demo by a guest to teach a skill we may not have taught during a class, or someone to do a live demo that's beyond most members' skill levels.

What's the Difference between Hourly, By The Day and Monthly Memberships?

- Monthly members can come in any time, while Hourly Rentals can only come during Open Studio hours. Rental by the day can come in from 10-9 on the rented day.

- Members and Daily rental must have prior ceramics experience.  If you do not have prior experience, make sure you come in during Open Studio hours so that an assistant can help you find everything you need and talk you through any questions you may have.

- Monthly memberships encapsulate all time working in the studio, including wheel time, handbuilding, and glaze time.

- Those who come in to glaze without a membership will be charged by the hour to be in the studio.

What's the Cost?

It depends on the amount of time you choose to be a member.

- 1 Month at a time: $125

- 6 Month: $115  if paid in full, it's $110/month or $660 total

- 1 Year: $105  if paid in full, it's $100/month or $1200 total

What if I don't come consistently and a monthly membership doesn't make sense for me?

- We offer Hourly Studio Access for $15/hour. This is only available during Open Studio Hours for class participants (limited hours) or those purchasing hourly access who have prior ceramics experience. Time glazing will be charged by the hour.

--Open Studio Hours listed at www.capriglione.net--

- We also offer 1-Day Access for $45 that will be available from 10 am - 9 pm. 

- That means that if you think you'll come in for more than 3 hours at a time, day rental is more advantageous than doing hourly. 

- If you think you'll want to work more than 2 days in the studio a month, it's better to get a monthly membership.

Each member will be asked to sign a contract. In it will be an agreement to clean up after yourself, treat others respectfully and kindly, and a policy to repay the studio if you have caused any damages, and the normal promising not to sue the studio if you get injured.
