Pottery Studio Membership
Pottery Box is Stella’s Art Gallery’s open-studio pottery membership, designed for makers with basic clay skills who are ready to work independently in a shared studio environment.
This is not a class. Pottery Box offers ongoing studio access during gallery hours for experienced beginners and intermediate potters who are comfortable working without instruction.
Pottery Box is an open-studio environment during gallery hours for those with basic clay skill and knowledge. We have two studios featuring workstations for glazing, handbuilding, and throwing on the pottery wheel. Each member has their own shelf for storage allowing them to work continuously on several projects and keep personal tools.
Studio access allows you to use equipment, decorating accessories and studio glazes. We ask that you purchase your clay from us $17 for 25lbs, but you may use your own glazes -cone 05 to cone 6 glaze.
The Studio
Members have access to two fully equipped pottery studios, including dedicated areas for wheel throwing, handbuilding, and glazing. Each member is provided with personal shelf space, allowing work to remain in progress and tools to be stored on site.
Studio access includes shared use of wheels, slab roller, hand tools, decorating accessories, and studio glazes.
Orientation Requirement
All new members must complete a one-time orientation before beginning studio use.

A personal tour of the facility
