-OPEN STUDIO MEMBERSHIP-
Purchase open studio time on an hourly, monthly or annual membership basis. Access to all studio equipment: electric wheels, slabroller, hand extruder, 4” extruder with complete die sets, Giffin Grip, slump mold and texture mat collection, etc. Although open studio time is independent study, expert troubleshooting assistance is provided. Studio hours are offered seven days a week, including weekday evenings. Studio members may bring in their own KPS clay to fire off-site, pay for glazing and firing services at KPS independently, or purchase KPS clay at the ELEMENTS student rate (this includes bisque-firing, and Cone 6 glazing and firing). $99.00 per month; or $10.00 per individual hour. NEW! Annual Membership - $79.00 per month.

Did you know?

At ELEMENTS you can fire in oxidation (electric), reduction (gas) and raku. In addition to unlimited firing in our electric kilns, as well as experimenting with raku, our members are able to experience Cone 6 reduction firing at no additional charge.

All students and studio members receive unlimited studio access seven days a week (certain rooms may be restricted during class some times). With two separate throwing rooms, a spacious handbuilding center and a private glaze room, work space is always available even during peak open studio hours. Weeknight evening access hours are available. Expert studio assistance and troubleshooting is also provided during open studio. Check out our newly expanded second glaze room, providing perfect lighting and comfortable countertop seating for underglaze painting or brush glazing.

You have constant access to more than 60 food-safe glazes, as well as a wide variety of underglazes, decorating and mending slips, engobes, majolicas, glaze crystals and oxides. Raku glazes (not food-safe) are also provided for the raku class and the raku party. An assortment of low-fire glazes, crystalline and Cone 10 glazes are available for specialty classes. If there is actually a glaze you desire that we don’t have, you may buy it at KPS (or the chemicals to make it) with your 10% discount, and use it during class. We are always busy at work formulating and testing new glazes for your enjoyment!

We give you a choice between more than 30 unique clay bodies (provided that the clay is course appropriate). Even raku students have access to five raku clays - allowing them to pick the right one for their projects and work style. Clay is available to students and members for only $13 - $25 per 25 lb. bag, including all glazing and firing (we even have our black clay and several porcelains available at this price).

There is no limit on the amount of clay that you can purchase and use during a course. Absolutely no limit on the number of pieces you fire. Whether you only use your free bag, or wish to try several different clay bodies - the only limit is your desire!

We offer free participation in an end-of-session raku party. Choose to learn about and participate hands-on in the raku process, watch the firing from the sidelines, or drop off your pots and pick them up after the party. Your choice. Studio members may also take part in this exciting firing event, held every 10-12 weeks.

Members and students enjoy a 10% discount in Kickwheel Pottery Supply on tools, books and glazes.

Student tuition fee also includes course instruction, 25 lbs. of KPS clay (and all glazing/firing associated with that clay), and a two-week (teacher unattended) grace period to finish projects at the end of the course.

ELEMENTS’ classes are always limited to ten participants or fewer. The small course size allows for plenty of individual attention, roomier workspace and readily available equipment.

Studio members even have several choices for terms of enrollment, all offered at fixed prices. With hourly, monthly and annual membership packages available, you can choose your level of commitment. For those who want to try out the studio without commitment, or for the frequent traveler, join us for any of our one-day, economically-priced workshops.

-FIRING SERVICES-
ELEMENTS studio also offers bisque, lowfire oxidation, cone 6 oxidation or raku glaze firing services. Firing services may be purchased by the piece or by the kiln load (we have three load sizes available for your convenience). Access to ELEMENTS’ extensive Cone 6 or raku glaze collection is also available for only $1 per piece. In order to be eligible for firing services, pieces must be created from a KPS clay body. Please call 770-986-9011 for pricing information and size restrictions. At this time, reduction firing services are only available to ELEMENTS students, studio members, resident artists and instructors.
