Light Morning Membership

Plan & access overview

A quieter weekday space for makers who enjoy creating at their own pace.

Prices and benefits shown are based on the published Trace product pages reviewed on 15 October 2026. Please confirm your exact selection and payment details at checkout.

Who can use the studio

Membership is intended for makers with prior pottery experience who feel confident working independently, are familiar with basic firing procedures, and understand how to care for a shared studio. New members need to arrange an induction with our technician before their first independent session. An induction is an introduction to the space, not a substitute for a beginner course.

Studio access & booking

Tuesday to Friday, 11am–2pm only. A maximum of 4 hours per week and 16 hours per membership month applies, including time for cleaning.

Studio time is subject to capacity, occasional closures and any advance booking arrangements shown in the member booking system. Please allow enough time to clean your workspace before your session ends.

Materials, glazes & firing

Each paid membership month includes up to 2.5kg of bisque firing and 1.5kg of glaze firing, using the studio glazes included with this plan.

Clay is purchased separately. Speciality materials, glazes outside your plan’s included range and firing beyond the allowance are charged separately at the studio’s current published rates. Please check costs with our team before submitting work. Ceramic outcomes naturally vary; our team takes reasonable care of work during handling and firing, but cracking, warping and glaze variation can occur.

Payments, renewal & cancellation

Light Morning Membership is paid monthly and is offered with a 3-month initial commitment at £105/month or a 6-month initial commitment at £95/month. Once the initial commitment period has ended, the membership continues on a monthly rolling basis at the same discounted rate until cancelled in accordance with the applicable cancellation terms.

The 3- or 6-month minimum commitment you choose is binding for that entire period. Light Morning Membership cannot be cancelled early; monthly payments remain due throughout the selected commitment. If you would prefer not to renew after the minimum term, please cancel your membership through your account and let us know in advance, so we can confirm the cancellation arrangements and effective date. Please get in touch if your circumstances change or you have questions; we are happy to explain the options available under your agreement.

Pauses, transfers & unused time

Six-month memberships include one holiday pause of up to two weeks. Please request this by email at least one week in advance so we can confirm the dates. Fees continue to be collected on the usual billing schedule and the end of the initial commitment is extended by the approved pause duration. Three-month and rolling monthly plans do not include this benefit unless separately agreed.

Light Morning Memberships are personal and cannot be transferred to another person.

Unused studio hours do not automatically roll over into future periods unless expressly stated in your purchased plan. Please contact us before making changes rather than asking someone else to use your booking.

Shared studio care & safety

Please leave your wheel, table, tools and surrounding area clean and ready for the next maker. Follow the technician’s instructions for equipment, clay disposal, glaze handling and fire safety. Treat fellow makers and staff with care and consideration. We may take proportionate action if serious or repeated safety issues arise, subject to your legal rights.

Membership includes a free group guidance session on the last Sunday of each month, outside your membership hour allowance. If you would like to stay and practise afterwards, you may book an eligible afternoon drop-in at 25% off the standard single-session price, subject to space and availability.

Work, storage & collection

One-third of a storage board.

Please label work clearly. After membership ends, contact us promptly to arrange collection. Please collect your personal belongings, tools and ceramic work within 7 days after your membership ends. If you need additional time, please contact us in advance. We will contact you before taking any further steps with uncollected items.

Agreement & getting in touch

Your applicable plan, renewal and cancellation terms should be clearly presented before payment. Please keep a copy of your booking or subscription confirmation.

We want you to feel comfortable with your choice. For membership changes, studio access questions or anything you would like clarified, email info@traceceramics.co.uk . We’re happy to help.
