Can non-members buy clay or fire in our kilns?
We're not really staffed or set up to do a lot of this kind of business, but we realize that sometimes working potters or hobbyists need somewhere to fire once or twice or get a little bit of clay. We encourage membership for those who require regular access. Otherwise, here are the prices for non-members:
- Non-members should email us to purchase clay. Clay pricing for non-members pricing is $20 per bag or $37 per box (subject to change). We stock several types of cone 6 clay. Contact us in advance for large orders or specific types of clay. We also suggest Clayworks Supplies in Richmond for supplies.
- Non-members can fire in our kilns with prior approval. We have electric kilns which we fire to cone 6. Inquire for details about pricing, which amounts to 50% more than what we charge our members. Glazing and firing for non-members will require prior arrangement, so please get in touch before dropping by.
