HOW IT ALL WORKS
The pottery studio and kilns at the Waikato Society of Potters are available to our members, students and the public. Members of course get a few more benefits and access privileges, but we make the studio available for all people to come along at various times, use the facilities and get their hands in clay.
Take a look at the table below to see how you can use the pottery studio as a member, non member, or student.
There's definitely benefits to becoming a member. If you want to get all these perks, and more, you can sign up here.
