additional membership details:
At city mud, we believe you should only pay for what you’re using. Have a slow month at the studio? No biggie, the membership cost is low, those firing fees aren’t built into the price. Have a high producing month at the studio? Awesome-you’ll just pay for the kiln space you use.
Firing fees are 3c per cubic inch for bisque & glaze firings
in bisque, you can stack pieces and pay for the entire stack- that way you to only pay for the kiln space you use.
We fire our two electric Skutt 1227 kilns to cone 04 bisque and cone 6 glaze
Right now we generally can’t support production potters- if you think you might fall into that category send us an email and we’ll talk it through!
Hop on our membership waitlist!
Wait time is currently 1-3 months
