The Village Access
“A studio for neighbors. A place for art.”
At Bayan Studio, membership is more than access, it's belonging and mindfulness. Inspired by the Filipino spirit of bayanihan, the tradition of a community supporting one another, our studio is a sanctuary built on strength of our neighbors. We invite artists of all levels into a nurturing space where creativity, connection, and personal growth thrive side-by-side.
The Village Access is designed to honor your unique creative and wellness journey. You are not just securing a shelf; you are becoming a pillar of a neighborhood space dedicated to Center, Create, and Connect.
Whether you join us a Founding Kababayan Neighbor or through our Mabuhay Circle, you are helping us mold a village where every potter has a seat at the table and every piece of clay tells a story of belong

Frequently Asked Questions
Regarding other aspects of the Bayan Studio, to the Studio FAQ page.
-
Every membership at Bayan Studio—whether you are a Founding Neighbor or a Mabuhay Member—includes 7-day access to our 7,500 sq. ft. studio, a dedicated personal storage shelf, use of our studio wheels and equipment, house glazes, and generous monthly firing credits.
-
This is a one-time, non-refundable fee of $100 paid when you first join. It helps us maintain our high-quality equipment and, most importantly, funds our Studio Access Initiative, which provides memberships to artists facing financial barriers.
-
Bayan is a place of steady growth, not a revolving door. A 3-month minimum allows you to truly integrate into the studio rhythm, get to know your neighbors, and see your ceramic projects through from clay to kiln.
-
Following your initial sign-up payment, all recurring monthly dues are processed automatically on the 1st of each month starting in May 2026 (based on an April 2026 opening). You will receive a separate notification to join the Members Access site to confirm the recurring monthly dues.
-
Should you need to cancel your membership after your initial 3-month term, we require a 30-day written notice prior to your next billing date.
-
For the Kababayan Founding members, the $248 "Legacy Rate" is our gift to the first 28 people who build this foundation with us. Because these spots are limited, if you cancel your membership, the spot is released to the next person on our waitlist. If you choose to return later, it would be at the current standard Mabuhay rate.
For our Mabuhay Community members, the same applies. The spot will be released and the next person on our waitlist.
Past members will not have to pay another $100 Studio Foundation Fee if they choose to return later.
-
To maintain the integrity of our community, memberships and dues are non-transferable to other individuals.
-
Bayan Studio is a sanctuary for our members. While we love the spirit of Kapwa (connection), 7-day access is strictly for active members to ensure the space remains uncrowded and meditative. We will host regular Guest Days and events where friends and family are welcome.
-
When our village reaches its capacity, we open a waitlist to maintain the uncrowded, peaceful environment of the studio. As neighbors move on or new space becomes available, we invite the next person on the list to join us via a private email invitation.
-
No. Joining the waitlist is a free expression of interest. You will only pay your Studio Foundation Fee and initial dues once a spot opens and you choose to officially join the village.
-
Wait times depend on the rhythm of our community. Because we prioritize a 3-month initial commitment to foster stability, spots generally become available on a seasonal basis. We will keep you updated on your status periodically.
-
Absolutely. We occasionally host "Open Village" days specifically for those on the waitlist. This is a great chance to see the 7,500 sq. ft. space, meet the founders, and experience the "Hinga" (breathing space) firsthand before your spot opens up.
