Green Level Membership
Current Price: $110/month
This is the basic level of membership at Donkey Mud Studio. Bring your own tools. There are a few things you can use of mine, but for the most part, you’ve gotta supply your own. You will also have access to some of the cheaper popular glazes.
Here's what you get with Green Level Membership:
- Your own private pottery shelf
- Attend studio during weekly hours (6:30pm-10pm on your assigned day)
- Pottery lessons and guidance from Dan
- Use of Dan’s very basic studio tools (green dots)
- You’ll need to buy clay from me starting at $30 for a 25 lb bag. An average mug takes about a pound of clay to make.
- Use of a dedicated pottery wheel
- Use of community worktables
- Supply your own pottery tools (basic kits are fine)
- Bring your own pottery apron
- Use of basic glazes
- Set price kiln firings (it’s not much and is size-dependent)
- No access to molds or slip casting (pouring liquid clay into molds), though you can pay $5 any night you want to use them. Liquid slip clay is extra and must be purchased by the gallon.
- No access to extra studio hours

NOTE: I do my best to capture the true essence of all my pottery. Please note that every piece will look different depending on its surroundings and lighting, or on different screens. Please also note that on some listings, other pots or props have been included in the photograph, and unless explicitly mentioned in the description, the purchase is always for the product showing in the first product image.
All purchases are non-refundable. International orders may require duties and taxes, paid for by customer upon delivery. All my pottery is stoneware or porcealin, meaning it was fired at higher temperatures with more premium clay and glazes to make it truly durable. The only exception to this is Raku pottery which is fired at a lower temperature but still very strong. If you are buying any of my pottery as part of a collection or pottery drop, please note that it may take me 1-2 weeks to prepare the entire drop for shipment. Thank you for your patience.
