SIGN IN

Can you please sign into the diary on arrival to the Pottery Studio and pay your daily hire fees after you have finished your session in the pottery office (reception permitting) or gallery shop.

STUDIO HIRE FEE

As usual, the studio hire fee is $3/hour. NB This hire fee covers working in our studio or the large outdoor area, whether you are hand building, glazing your work, or wheel throwing. 

OTHER FEES

We reserve the right to apply a grinding fee of $15 to cover the cost of grinding the over-glazing of work (as it is a problem from the over-application of commercial glazes).

ENROLLED STUDENTS 

All who use the studio must be current members and pay the studio hire fee. Students on our ten-week courses who wish to use the studio in their own time must be members if they want to practice outside of class times. Enrolled students also need to pay the daily hire fee for practice time. If you’re doing a make-up class due to absence, the hire fee doesn’t apply.

POTTERY STUDIO 

The Cooroy Butter Factory Arts Centre is a Not-for-Profit community space and relies on the wonderful support from a team of volunteers. Please treat our volunteers and staff with respect and courtesy, bad behaviour will not be tolerated. The volunteers help to keep the Pottery Studio Access hours extended to the community.
