📢 Fair Access Policy & Waitlist Priority

Due to high demand and limited seats, our ceramics program operates on a Strict Priority System:

1. First-Time Students: Priority enrollment and all waitlist movement will strictly favor students who have never taken a Golden Oak ceramics course.

2. Returning Students: If you have previously taken the class, you are welcome to join the waitlist. If space allows, returning students will be enrolled strictly in the order they joined the waitlist.

🎨 Looking for Independent Studio Space?

If you have already taken our courses and are simply looking for a creative space, equipment, and a community of makers to work on your own projects, we recommend checking out local open studio memberships, such as:
