Updates

The pottery studio at False Creek Community Centre is transitioning from the previous monthly membership model to a drop-in session system in response to growing demand and consistently high waitlists. Open studio drop-in sessions will be 2-3 hour timeslots at a rate of $10-$15 per session. They will continue to include access to studio tools, equipment, and firings. For those wanting storage, there will be shared cubbies available on a first-come first-serve basis for users to store one bag of clay each for the length of the season.
 
User eligibility is based on completion of one pottery course minimum at False Creek Community Centre within the past two years, along with instructor approval. Users who have not taken a course or been an active member within the past two years must attend a studio orientation prior to their first session (please see information below).
 
Student drop-in sessions will continue without changes. These supervised, 3-hour sessions will be available at $15 per session and only students currently enrolled in a False Creek pottery program will be permitted to drop-in during these times.
Please see below for the monthly studio schedules.

 

Studio Orientation

Studio orientations are intended for anyone who has used our studio in the past but may benefit from more information about safe studio guidelines and procedures. Orientations are only required for those who are looking to drop-in during open studio times but haven’t actively used the studio within the last two years. Orientations will cover proper use of all available tools and equipment, studio etiquette, rules and policies. Orientations are scheduled to run once every two months (subject to change based on demand) and are led by the Pottery Studio Manager and Technician. A cost of $20 applies per participant, with a maximum of 8 people per session. The next studio orientations are on September 25 (582668) and November 27 (584842), 9-10:30am. Please register online here!
