membership

a shelf membership gives you the space and flexibility to be creative.

Welcome to our membership page. Here you can sign up for our two different types of memberships. Membership is an independent study in clay that includes use of the facilities and does not include instruction.

What Makes Mouse a Boutique Studio?
At Mouse we pride ourselves on speedy kiln turn around time, we get your pieces fired quickly and carefully! Our knowledgeable staff will listen to your concerns and troubleshoot issues pertaining to glaze fit and thermal expansion including the specific concerns of firing larger work. As long as work is 3/4 of an inch or less in thickness and made from well-wedged clay, breakage and explosions will rarely if ever occur no matter how large and heavy the work is. At Mouse we like to get to know all of our members and students so they feel as if they are coming into a supportive environment that helps them develop creatively and fosters a sense of community.
