Prerequisite

Ceramic Studio Artists are required to have experience in clay studios due to the absence of supervision and abundance of open studio time. MBACC requires a NEW CSA Orientation for all new Ceramic Studio Artists, scheduled at a mutually convenient time for both the new CSA and the Ceramics Program Director  This covers proper use and cleanup of the studio, information about CSA participation in Open Studios and other events, common-space rules, etc. A $50 orientation fee is due at the time of orientation.

Please note, CSA weeks are non-transferrable. There are no refunds for missed time due to illness, vacations, etc. CSAs must be registered at all times to maintain a shelf and studio access, and must be in good-standing in order to renew. Upon signing a CSA agreement, CSA’s will abide by all studio policies.
