Membership Info & Application

Still Life Ceramics Studio provides a best-in-class ceramics experience for makers of all skill levels. We’re proud to offer a range of flexible membership options, making it easy to find the perfect fit.

In our 4,000 square foot Ferndale, MI studio, we have 24 wheels and 6 hand-building tables that are shared between members, students, and private parties.

Memberships include access to studio facilities, including all of the studio equipment (wheels, slab roller, extruder), glazes, and either a private shelf or communal storage, depending on membership level. Bisque firing is free. The only additional costs are tools, clay, and glaze firing fees at 2 cents per cubic inch or 4 cents per cubic inch for oversize pieces (12+ inches). Members must provide their own tools and bats.

Members must be able to work independently, as membership does not include instruction.

If you have questions, please feel free to email us at hi@stilllifeceramics.com - we would be happy to talk to you about our membership options or schedule a tour of our facilities. To apply for membership, please fill out the application below.

We hope to see you in the studio soon!
