Studio

The studio has ten wheels and two kilns.  We offer a range of cone 6 glazes. The cost of student fee includes clay, glaze, and firing.    Members are expected to purchase clay through the studio.  We offer Laguna 510 (white stone ware), Laguna 66 (brown stone ware), Sheffield T3M, and other choices.  Firing fee is 1 cent per cubic inch for bisque plus 2 cents per cubic inch for glaze firing.   A common room, with a fridge and microwave with table and chairs is provided for all studio participants.  

Environmental Practice:

The studio aims to have as little impact to our environment as possible. We practice water saving cleaning for both clay and glaze.  Generally, dirty items are washed in tub first and final rinse is with clean water at the sink with clay trap.  The tubs are cleaned regularly to remove the clay that settles at the bottom.  The studio also provides towels for general use.  We ask each person to use one towel per day if possible.  Dirty towels can be put in dirty towel basket to be washed, or you can take it home to wash.  The studio uses stainless steel containers instead of plastic when possible.  The glaze buckets are recycled drywall compound buckets from construction site. Almost all of our table legs are recycled lumber. We encourage the users to help us in our efforts to reduce impact to our environment.

Tail in the Mud is located on Guinan Street next door to Prospect Hill Forge.  It is two blocks from main street and next to the bike trail.  There is ample on street parking available.  Please note that off street parking west of the building belongs to Metalwerx.
