Studio Rentals

Everyone should now have their name and rental time period written on the tape for their shelf. This will allow you to take charge of renewing your membership when needed. When your membership has passed you will have two weeks to either renew or clear off your shelf. If I have not heard from you in two weeks your shelf will be cleaned off by me and your pots will go into the fundraiser area.

Shelving Space

You may have noticed the black lines separating your shelf from your neighbors. All shelves have been equally divided, each member is
expected to stay on his or her shelf. If more space is needed you can rent another shelf for $30.00 a month. Just please let me know if you are interested in stretching your ceramic legs.
