You should know…
In the Studio:
We are a working studio and home to local artists; our members are respectful and will keep to themselves if they are present during your party, but please be aware that we do not have a dedicated party room or private space
Setup, Decorations & Food/Drinks:
Organizers are welcome to come up to 30 minutes prior to the scheduled start time to set up cake, drinks and some “cake table” decorations
If you are serving cake and drinks, please ensure that you bring all necessary disposable dishes, cutlery and napkins. We have a sink but cannot accommodate dishwashing. We do not have a fridge available.
We regret that we are unable to accommodate food other than cake/cupcakes and non-alcoholic beverages
Pick up and take down time is to be complete within 30 minutes of the party end time
Parking & Access
There is public street parking around the RCA on the street, at the Prospera lot across the street as well as in nearby parkades
Our studio is accessed via the front doors of the RCA - enter the front doors on Cawston Ave, walk towards the Box Office, then turn left at the Box Office, our studio is in Studio 108 at the end of the hall on the right
On Sunday mornings there is an unrelated church service that takes place in the Rotary Centre for the Arts. Our studio is not affected by the service but please allow extra time for finding parking in the area and be mindful of others as you walk through the RCA halls to our studio
Pickup of Finished Pieces
Pottery is an art of patience and there is time required to dry, first firing, glaze and second firing before pieces are complete.
Your pieces will be ready for pickup by the party organizer on or before 15 workdays after your party date (we will confirm the pickup date with you at the time of booking)
Not to worry - our staff will handle all of the drying, glazing and firing
We regret that we are unable to accommodate pickups by multiple parties; the party organizer will be responsible for pickup of the group’s pieces
