TThe Craft Center is a membership organization. We count on all members to help keep the studios clean and tidy. Please take the time to clean your space after use, so that it is ready for the next member. If you are aware of broken, dangerous or missing equipment, please report it to the Craft Center desk staff so that the problem can be remedied. In order to assure quality control, all clay must be purchased from the Craft Center. Please note: the use of Darkroom chemicals will require a Day Pass. The photo day pass price is listed under Fees and posted at the Front Desk. In partnership with the University’s mission to promote campus wellness and healthy living, the Craft Center will not support the making of smoking paraphernalia. We are an educational and recreational resource for amateurs; those creating multiple items for sale are encouraged to set up their own studios.
