Clay Policy
Clay is not included in the pricing of Open Studio Passes. When purchasing passes, you will now see a session option to purchase a 25lb bag of clay for $30. Any future purchases of clay can be made with cash through the studio technician, Moon Rodríguez Diestler (he/him) or Miriam Hassman (she/they), or you can contact office@brooklineartscenter.com to purchase more through your active account. The ceramic studio is a shared classroom space with ongoing classes—for storage purposes, there is a max purchase amount of three 25lb bags of clay per season (4 seasons per year, 10 weeks in each season).
Open Studios Termination
The BAC reserves the right to evaluate each student's skill level to determine if they have the necessary knowledge and skills needed to work independently in the ceramic studio. These include skills that can impact the kiln firings, and knowledge of best health and safety practices in the studio. If an evaluation by BAC faculty determines that the student does not possess the required skills needed, they will be asked to return to an instruction based class before signing up for additional open studio passes. The BAC also reserves the right to terminate an Open Studio student’s enrollment if they are not respecting the rules and regulations of the ceramic studio.
