We require a minimum of two months' commitment for semi-private spaces.
After two months, you can cancel your semi-private space with at least one month's written notice to info@nolaclay.org.
Renting a semi-private studio space requires a signed lease, emergency contact information, and a copy of a photo ID.

Important Info:

Semi-private spaces are intended for one artist each and cannot be split or shared.
Semi-private spaces are to be furnished by the artist as desired. Furniture items are not included, but artists are welcome to use any extra furniture items the Clay Center has available.
For adequate airflow and to maintain a communal atmosphere, no solid perimeter walls, panels, furniture, or other solid items may rise higher than 48 inches in height from the floor. Open shelving and curtains are acceptable as long as air can easily pass through them.
A semi-private space is to be used for one artist’s active creative practice which should be largely focused on clay/ceramics. It may not be used solely for storage, for private business ventures, for completely non-clay practices, or by more than one person.

Studio membership is a subscription-based option with automatic payments that will occur on the first of the month. This listing is for your initial payment only. Please save your payment method when you check out so we can set up your automatic payments. Your membership can be canceled with one month's notice sent to info@nolaclay.org. Feel free to email us with any questions!
