Energy Exchange

The Energy Exchange Program is currently full ─ please check back soon for updates

 

As an essential aspect of our studio, energy exchanges hold great significance, and we want to express our gratitude through this program. If you have some spare time in your weekly schedule, we invite you to participate in our time-for-time energy exchange. Ideally, we recommend committing to a 3 or 4 hour shift per week, which will grant you an equal amount of time in our studio. You have the option to purchase clays from our studio at cost or bring your own. We offer complimentary firing services for your creations, and if you wish to use our studio glazes, we provide an affordable monthly glaze and materials subscription. 

As part of the energy exchange, your responsibilities will encompass various studio maintenance tasks, such as clay collection, reclamation, and wedging. Additionally, you may assist in things like creating test tiles for new glazes, preparing slabs for workshops and ensuring general studio upkeep and cleanliness, and contributing your skills in any other areas you desire. 

Becoming an exchangee in our studio presents a fantastic opportunity to deepen your understanding of pottery processes, forge new friendships, and become an integral part of our creative community. 

If you're intrigued by the prospect of joining this program, please reach out to us at info@parkdalepottery.ca with the subject line "Energy Exchange Application," and we will respond promptly. We look forward to hearing from you!
