How do I sign up for membership?
To join Seatown Pottery, start by joining the waitlist for your desired studio via the membership tab on our website. Once your name reaches the top, you’ll receive an invitation to attend a scheduled studio tour.
During the tour, we’ll go over studio policies and procedures and set up your membership. We offer prorated memberships for mid-month starts or can postpone your start date by up to 15 days.
New members pay:
- First month’s dues (prorated if starting mid-month)
- One-time $39 supply fee
You’ll leave the tour with a member gift and access to the 24hr Pottery app to start creating!
How do I access the studio?
Once your membership is set up, you’ll receive access to the 24hr Pottery app, which serves as your studio key, provides kiln unload updates, tracks purchases, and connects you to community boards.
How do I contact studio staff?
The fastest way to reach us is through the 24hr Pottery app or by emailing [email protected].
How do I stay up to date with Seatown Pottery?
The 24hr Pottery app has multiple communication channels to keep you informed about studio updates and events.
How do I track my monthly hours?
- Use the check-in button on the app to unlock the studio door and start your visit.
- When leaving, tap the check-out button to end your visit.
These actions track your total monthly usage. Unused hours do not roll over to the following month. You can check your balance anytime in the 24hr Pottery app.
How do I purchase clay and glazes?
Clay can be purchased directly through the 24hr Pottery app, with options from Seattle Pottery Supply and Clay Arts Center.
Included in your membership:
- Brush and dip glazes (low- and mid-fire)
You may also bring in your own clay and glazes, as long as:
- Clay is compatible with our kiln temperatures
- Glazes are AP certified
Raw glaze mixing is not permitted due to ventilation limitations.
Do I need to be a member to join raku firings or specialty workshops?
No! While members get priority enrollment, workshops are open to the entire artist community.
How often do you hold raku workshops?
We offer monthly raku firings. More details can be found here.
Can I bring a non-member to use the space?
Due to insurance policies, non-members can only enter during designated open studio times. Guests are welcome to:
- Enroll in workshops
- Join open studio sessions
Non-members cannot access the studio without a staff member present.
Can my children use the space with me?
Seatown Pottery is designed for adults and accompanied teens.
Age requirements:
- 18+ for independent use
- 15+ with a family membership
For younger children, open studio reservations can be made.
How many pieces can I fire per month?
We require that all fired work be created within the studio in order to maintain our 10-day turnaround time, we ask that all members follow this guideline regardless of membership type.
Important: The 24hr Pottery studio is not intended for full-time production potters.
Where do I store my clay and tools?
- Green Lake: Lockers ($20/month) & cubbies ($15/month)
- Capitol Hill & Madison Park: Cubbies ($15/month)
Storage fees are added to your monthly membership. Clay and personal tools cannot be stored on shelves or floors—shelving is for in-process work only.
Can I pause my membership?
Yes! You can pause your membership for $19 per month to hold your spot in the studio.
- Pause requests must be sent to [email protected] by the 25th of the month before the pause takes effect.
- Pausing ensures your spot is saved and waives the $39 supply fee when you return.
How do I cancel or modify my membership?
Requests to cancel or modify a membership must be emailed to [email protected] by the 25th of the month before the change takes effect.
