Types of clay permitted at our studios
Pottery Dream is a cone 6 studio. Any other clay that is not available in the studio must be approved by Technician and instructions must be followed explicitly so there is no contamination.
Danforth studio :
Only white or speckled clay is allowed. You can use stains for handbuilding only and use your own canvas only to mix / wedge and do not throw the water into the slip bucket.
Adelaide studio :
White, speckled and coloured clay is allowed.
Glazes
Our glazes, underglaze and wax resist are available as a monthly add-on ( Except Kiln Share members ). Members are not allowed to change the consistency of our glazes. If you're worried the glaze is not the right consistency, please email us at tech@potterydream.com. Do not use it or alter it in any way.
You are allowed to use your own glaze and please make test tiles first before firing for the first time. The bottom of your pieces must be clean and no glaze. Messy bases will not be fired. Provide cookies or stilt if you are worried about your glaze dripping.
ANY glazes that runs will result in you being charged a $10 fee per piece.
Storage space and shelf space
We provide storage space 80x50cm for each member. Extra storage is $25/$50 per month. Members must store their work on their personal shelf.
There is a communal 'ready to be fired' shelf available. Pieces that are done firing, needs to be removed weekly and stored on personal shelving to avoid congestion. Any unclaimed pieces will be disposed. You will not be eligible for any refund.
Hands Off
The kiln room is to be used by the technician and staff only. Do not open or take anything out of the kiln. Please avoid moving and/or touching other people's work and potentially damaging it. You will be required to pay any damage caused. Please refer to your contract for the Danforth location for more information.

Members are required to commit for 3 months before pausing or cancelling. Members are only allowed pause for a maximum of 2 months in any 12 month period. You can only pause one month at a time.
To cancel and pause your membership, please provide 1 month notice. Please ensure that you clear storage space promptly at the end of your membership.

We recommend that members do not produce any more greenware in the last 2-3 weeks leading up to the end of your membership. Once your membership has ended, you are no longer paying for our services and therefore we can no longer fire your work or give you access to the studio.

Each member will have to pay a deposit of $100 and will be refunded at the end of your membership once the key is returned and storage shelves are cleared.
