GUESTS

Guest Policy
Mill Pond Ceramics Studio allows members and studio tenants to host guests to work in the studio on a limited basis. Students taking multi-week classes may not host working guests in the studio but are welcome to bring visitors such as friends and family for brief studio tours.

Guest Guidelines

• Guests are only allowed with express permission from studio management.

• Guests must be accompanied at all times by the member hosting them.
