Membership Policies

A Shared Creative Space

Forma is a small, intentional studio designed to feel calm, welcoming, and cared for. Membership is more than access to a workspace — it is becoming part of a creative community built around respect, curiosity, and making with intention.

Membership Eligibility

Open Studio memberships are designed for those who are comfortable working independently in a shared ceramics environment. Because our studio is small and community-centered, memberships are offered through an application process to ensure a good fit and preserve the experience for everyone.

If you are newer to clay, we recommend beginning with classes before moving into independent studio membership.

Shared Studio Care

A beautiful studio depends on everyone caring for it together.

Members are asked to:

  • Clean work areas and equipment after use

  • Return shared tools and materials to their proper place

  • Respect shared shelves and communal spaces

  • Help keep the studio quiet, clean, and welcoming

MEMBERSHIP COMMITMENT & BILLING

  • New memberships require a 3-month minimum commitment.

  • Memberships renew automatically on a monthly basis. Membership fees are charged monthly.

  • To cancel after the initial commitment period, written notice must be provided at least 30 days before your next billing cycle.

CLAY & FIRING

  • Clay is available for purchase through Forma

  • Clay purchased through Forma includes glaze and kiln firing — there are no additional firing fees

  • Outside clay or glazes must be approved by Forma Pottery Studio before use

  • Work created with unapproved materials may not be fired

EQUIPMENT USE

  • Members are responsible for proper cleanup and respectful shared use of equipment.

  • Misuse of equipment may result in suspension of privileges.

Kilns & Finished Work

Ceramics can be unpredictable, and while every effort is made to handle work carefully, Forma cannot guarantee outcomes in the kiln. Cracking, warping, glaze variation, or breakage can naturally occur during the firing process.

STORAGE

Membership includes designated storage space for work in progress and personal items. Because space is limited, members are asked to work thoughtfully and regularly rotate completed work out of the studio.

Community Expectations

Forma is rooted in creativity, kindness, and respect. We want this to feel like a place people return to — where faces become familiar and making becomes part of your rhythm.


Harassment, unsafe behavior, or conduct that negatively impacts the experience of others may result in membership suspension or cancellation.
