Potters Hours
Supervised studio time with a “potter on duty.” Members and students get demonstrations, feedback, and guidance on techniques, tools, equipment, and materials.
Potters Hours is more than open studio time, it’s a way to explore and experiment with clay alongside an experienced maker. Instructors and staff are present to offer demos, feedback, guidance, and support, helping both students and members refine skills, troubleshoot projects, and build confidence. These sessions also maintain the flow, safety, and shared standards of the studio, keeping Forma a welcoming, organized, and inspiring space for everyone.

Why Forma?
24/7 studio access with wheels, tools, glazes, and a supportive community. Flexible plans for makers of all levels.
Forma memberships are for makers who want ongoing studio access and long term growth in clay. Members enjoy 24/7 access to wheels, handbuilding areas, in house glazes, and a wide range of shared and specialty tools. Our thoughtfully maintained space, fast firing turnaround, and supportive community make it easy to focus on making, learning, and experimenting. Membership is limited to maintain quality and access. We operate a waitlist and notify members when a spot becomes available.

Gallery & Events
An on site gallery showcasing work by Forma members and instructors. The gallery reflects the range of practices, skill levels, and approaches that come out of the studio.
Our gallery showcases the creativity of our ceramics community, highlighting work from members, teachers, and artists. Explore a variety of styles, techniques, and in-studio materials that reflect the skill, experimentation, and vibrant culture thriving at Forma.
