Membership
Perfect for individuals with foundational knowledge in ceramics. Visit our studio in person before committing to a pass.
Fed up with limited studio access and rigid schedules? Creativity shouldn't be confined.
Always open
Open daily, with no waiting around. Your visit is auto-accepted.
Freedom to fly
No fixed slots and no expiring credits. Our post-paid scheme means you only ever pay for the studio time you actually use.
Space when you need it
Request your slot 48 hours before. With 40 wheels and 20 tables, 99% of the time your space is available.
Pure flexibility
How it works
Create whenever you want
Simply come in. No need to book in advance or worry about limited studio hours.
We keep track
Our face recognition system monitors your studio usage through the month, so you can focus on crafting, not calculations.
Transparent billing
Billing is based on your monthly usage, tabulated through the month. In the first week of the following month, you receive a clear breakdown of your hours and shelf charges via WhatsApp or email.
Pay with ease
Settle your bill knowing you only paid for the time and materials you used. No expiring credits.
Our rates
The more you create, the less you pay — your hourly rate drops automatically as your monthly usage grows.

Everything else, in plain words
Membership terms
Getting started
There's a $30 one-time registration fee, plus a $10 monthly member fee. The monthly fee is waived whenever you use 10 or more hours in a month — easy.
A refundable deposit
We hold a $150 refundable deposit while you're a member. Settle each bill within 15 days of its due date. If a bill goes unpaid beyond that, we'll use the deposit to cover it and your membership closes automatically. When your membership ends we'll refund your deposit, less anything still unpaid.
Your own shelf
Keep a shelf at the studio for $30 a month — free whenever you use 10 or more hours in a month. Planning to give it up? Just let us know by the 15th.
Clock in, clock out
Clock in when you arrive and out when you leave. It covers wheels, handbuilding tables and the pantry — and do remember to clock out, or the day is charged in full.
A few basics first
A little wheel-throwing or handbuilding experience is needed before you join. Starting fresh? Come to a class with us first and you'll be set.
Settle up before you start
Please make sure all outstanding bills are paid before your studio sessions begin.
Share the studio kindly
Teaching others in the studio needs management's approval first — otherwise, it's your own practice time.
Photo memories
We love sharing what happens here. Members give the studio permission to capture photos and videos of completed works, and to share them on our social media, website and platforms — including tagging your IG handle.
The small print, kept short
Studio GDMC isn't liable for injuries from improper use of equipment or space, or for lost or damaged items — works are kept at the owner's risk. The studio may end a membership without refund in cases of abuse or breach of these terms.
Visit before you join
Come in, meet the studio and try the space before committing to a pass.
