- Parent/Child Memberships
- Parents who are interested in bringing their child to Alchemy may be able to sign them up for monthly or punch card membership. Because Alchemy is primarily an adult work space however, we reserve the right to approve parent/child memberships on a case-by-case basis. Please let us know if you are interested in discussing options via our application form!
- Firing Services
- Are you just needing some work fired? If it is mid-fire clay, we may be able to accommodate you. Our firing rate for outside work is $.04/cubic inch per firing (bisque or glaze). Measure your piece as though it is in a box, no parts sticking out. A typical 5" tall mug would probably be $5. Let us know if you are interested in this service!
