How to Apply
Do I Qualify?
MPA Clay Membership is designed for experienced ceramic artists who are confident working independently and looking for greater studio access alongside a dynamic community of peers. Members should have an established practice and be ready both to contribute to and learn from the wider studio community. Membership does not include formal instruction and is not intended for production potters or as an artist residency.
What to Expect
Applications are reviewed by the MPA Clay team to ensure membership is a good fit. Accepted applicants secure their place with a $150 holding fee before completing a studio induction and gaining access to the member portal, where members can reserve equipment and materials, view the studio calendar, and register for classes and events.
Membership is $350 per month.
