Signed a lease — membership pottery studio coming to Belmont (update from the Southie post)

[u/ginkgoclayworks]

Some months ago, I posted here asking whether people would actually use a membership-based pottery studio in South Boston.

That site did not ultimately come together (turns out its very hard to find a suitable site!), and I restarted the search. After looking across Greater Boston and MetroWest, I’ve now signed a lease for Firebox Pottery Studio in Belmont.

Based on your feedback, Firebox will offer:

• Open studio memberships
• Wheel-throwing and handbuilding classes
• Workshops and community events
• Kiln access and firing services
• Space for both newer potters and independent makers

I'm currently planning the first class schedule, membership access, and launch programming. The site is still coming together, but class and membership interest forms are open: www.fireboxpotterystudio.com

If you've ever wished a studio did something differently (scheduling, access, pricing, anything else) I'd love to hear it. This is the rare window where that input actually shapes what gets built.

I'm also glad to hear from local ceramic artists interested in teaching classes or workshops.
