ELIGIBILITY

To book a session of independent practice at the ceramic studio , you must first purchase the monthly studio access package corresponding to the frequency of use you anticipate needing. The booking of independent access periods to the studio is reserved for  students and experienced visual arts and craft artists  who have previously received adequate technical training allowing them to use the creative spaces and specialized work equipment independently and safely. This, without needing my technical assistance except for the holding of mentoring or training sessions while respecting the tranquility of the premises and the operating and safety rules of the studio. 

If you do not have the required experience to use the available spaces and equipment independently, but you would like to have access to them, I invite you to book a personalized mentoring session during which I will transmit the knowledge allowing you to acquire the necessary autonomy.
