Frequently Asked Questions

Can I join right now?

Yes.* The club ordinarily accepts new members any time. If you are not joining at the beginning of a regular club session (January, May, or September), dues for your first session are $60 if the session is more than half over.

There is not a waiting list at the present time. You can find information for joining on http://cupotters.org/registr.php.

Will someone train me to do my committee work?

Yes. New members should be experienced enough to make and glaze their own pots without help, but training is provided for committee work. Experienced members frequently provide advice and sometimes demonstrations to less experienced club members.

Is continuing education available to club members?

Yes, on an informal basis. The club holds workshops on glazing and other topics based on member requests. If you would like more formal instruction or don't wish to work independently, consider taking one of the Champaign Park District's or Parkland College's classes
