GUEST POLICY

We aim for a friendly studio but want our members to understand that there is a great deal of liability in bringing in guests who may or may not be as responsible or experienced with studio policy and equipment. This process outlined below relies on the honor system. With that said:

  • Guests are not allowed without explicit permission from the studio owner.

  • Bringing guests in without permission could result in membership being forfeited.

  • The member hosting the guest(s) is liable for any damage the guest may cause, accidental or otherwise.

  • The guest rate is $10/hour for studio time and booked as an OPEN STUDIO under LEARN/ADULT SESSIONS. This is obviously on the honor system, so please account for all time a seat is filled.

  • If there is any work to be bisque fired/glazed/glaze fired, our paid firing rates apply to guests. See rates below.

  • Work MUST be signed by the guest, not the member.

  • Pieces must be marked on a ware board and given to management upon completion and not mixed into the bisque or glaze racks without notification.

  • Staff will measure pieces and calculate the charges when delivered to be fired.

  • A VENMO QR code must be provided via email to us by either member or guest.

  • Payment via Venmo should be made to @millpondcreative (Mill Pond Ceramics is a dba of Mill Pond Creative LLC. You’ll see our studio sign on the profile.)
