Disclaimer for Pro Members:
Long Island Clay is not responsible for any businesses being conducted out of or from our studio. While you are operating and producing from our location please be aware of the sensitivities concerning the studios operations. A community studio is built on the backbones of a efficient firing schedule and our resources are limited to supporting a growing business, as we lend space to artists and production artists alike we have a finite amount of resources available to offer within reason.


We are happy to work one on one with artists to come up with a system that works for all of our members. We encourage artists to use the space and equipment within reason and want to encourage emerging artists to have a place to start.

We encourage members to sign up in person.
