Firing Memberships

Firing Memberships are designed for those who can work at home but need a place to have their pieces bisqued, glazed and fired. The difference between firing memberships and studio memberships is that firing members pay for bisque firing and do not have any storage space at the studio or access to Fired Up's wheels. Glaze firing fees still apply. Firing Members have access to our slab roller and extruder, but must take the slabs and extrusions home to finish. They also have the opportunity to display work for sale in our gallery, and to participate in our two annual sales. Firing Members have 24 hour access, 7 days a week to drop off greenware, to pick up bisqueware, and to our glazes.

Requirements

In order to hold a firing membership, you must:

• You must be at lest 21 years of age (Fired Up is an adults-only facility)
• You must read and sign our membership agreement. This is a very straight-forward document that outlines our mutual expectations and responsibilities.
• You must guarantee that the clay and glazes you use can be safely fired to the temperature you request.
• You must set up automatic payments from a bank account or credit card. Your membership and firing fees will be charged on a monthly basis on the anniversary of your start date.
• You must clean up after yourself, leaving all areas you have used clean and ready for the next person.
• You must respect other members' work, time and space. This means allowing others to work without interruption (wait until a person is done at the wheel or speaks to you first). Conversation is encouraged to take place in the "chat area" so you won't disturb someone working. It is absolutely forbidden to touch anyone's work on any shelf (work shelf, bisque shelf, raw glazed shelf, post-glaze firing shelf) without their direct permission. Work displayed in the gallery is, of course, very touchable.
• Pick up your work in a timely manner.
