Clay Studio
CLAY STUDIO POLICIES
- Clay and tools are available for purchase by clay studio members/students only. We only fire clay and glazes purchased from the Crafts Center. The cost of each bag includes additional fees for glazing and firing.
- Members and class participants can purchase up to 2 bags of clay per month. This does not include clay purchased as part of a supply fee for a class.
- The clay studio does not accept work for firing that is created/produced outside of the Crafts Center. This is in keeping with our Crafts Center motto – MAKE IT HERE – and to further our mission to educate, learn, share, and grow as a community of makers as part of the NC State University campus.
The Clay Studio provides a space for students to work on pottery, sculpture and related projects.
