Artist-in-Residence
We have enough space for 10-12 artists-in-residence who rent access for $170/mo. This includes firings, glazes, and shelf space. This is perfect for artists who want to work on their own. Currently we have limited openings for artists-in-residence spaces.
Please contact us if you are interested. You will be asked to submit images of your work and history of your education in clay for review to ensure all AIR have a full knowledge of working in clay already. We can start a waiting list if need be. Sometimes the best way to access the studio is through the classes. You still get access and many use a class to do their independent project.

Payment and Refund Policy
Payment is expected after you register to save your space in class, unless you have made other arrangements with Kirsten. Payment plans can be set up if need be.
Since almost all of our classes run full, if you register for class that means that someone else has been turned away to save your place in class. For this reason we cannot offer refunds if you decide to drop-out of class unless you drop out MORE THAN A WEEK (7 Days) BEFORE THE FIRST CLASS. If you drop out more than a week before class begins we will refund your class minus a $50 registration fee. Otherwise if you are within a week of the first class starting we will be unable to refund you. We will make every effort to accommodate you if you need to switch classes due to unforeseen scheduling conflicts or other such emergencies or events but can not guarantee a spot in another class if they are already full. It is our goal to make you happy and to teach you the joy of working with clay.
When you sign up for any class at TCS, you sign up understanding that the pandemic is out of our control and we will not be giving refunds or postponing our classes as we will switch to online learning. We will continue to teach the highest level of ceramics education through our Clay School @Home Studio Program. There are no refunds if you get sick of need to drop out for personal reasons. We will make up all classes that The Clay School needs to cancel (but this almost never happens unless it snows!)
We don't prorate classes if you are going away on vacation or just going to miss a few. Please, please feel free to make-up any class you might miss by attending another class being offered during the same session. You do need to check with the teacher first to make sure they have room for you in the class you want to attend. Make-up classes may be hard to schedule or impossible depending on the class size. We can also send you a video project from our library in lieu of a make-up class. We do not guarantee a make-up class will be available for you that will work in your schedule but we will try. Make-up classes however do not carry over into the next 8 week session.
We want you to work, have fun, and get the most out of your time at The Clay School.
