Ceramics Certification

Seattle Makers’ members (at maker and builder levels) who have previous clay experience can get certified to use the ceramics studio via a test-out with a studio maketeer. 

• Pay for a test-out
• Come in during Guided Studio hours found on the Events page
• Work with a ceramics studio maketeer
• If the Guided Studio hours do not work for you, contact us via email, phone, or on the Ceramics Studio Community Discord Chat (accessible to all members)

If you have no previous clay experience, you can become certified by taking the 4-part beginner series. 

If you are not a Seattle Makers Member but you have previous clay experience, become a member and get certified!

Studio Usage

Our ceramic studio is open for usage during building hours for all who are certified to use the studio at no extra cost. 

Clay Usage

A 12.5 lb bag of clay is free upon joining the studio. Subsequent clay can be purchased in-person at the studio. Outside clay can be used upon approval. 

Firing Policies

We fire our bisqueware to cone 05 and our glazes to cone 6. While we do charge for firing, all memberships include free “resource time credits” which can be used on any machine in the makerspace, including the kiln! We charge only for the bisque firing, at $40 for a quarter kiln shelf worth of work. Your free resource credits will cover three firings each month, and do roll over to the next month. Any questions? Don’t hesitate to give us a call or send us an email.
