Studio membership are open to anyone, regardless of skill (or lack of skill) level. Membership includes four lessons to get you started in the studio. Those lessons are optional, but they are enough to make this studio membership worthwhile! Due to space restrictions, this studio membership only applies to those working in the clay studio. Clay, personal tools, and firings are a la carte, but may be purchased/paid for in the gallery. Please see the Student handbook for more details. People who have never been a student or a studio member at Studio 550 before are required to go through a short orientation and quick lesson on equipment use before being given studio access. It lasts about 30 minutes (15 minutes tour and official documents and 15 minutes quick hands-on lesson). Please contact the studio with questions or to schedule your orientation.
