Tao of Clay Membership in 2026

We’re excited to share updates to our Tao of Clay membership for 2026, including new perks and updated policies designed to support the continued growth of our studio. Over the past year, our community has grown in meaningful ways, and with that growth comes the need for clearer systems, sustainable practices, and shared expectations that help the studio run smoothly.

Our goal with these updates is simple: to make Tao of Clay more organized, efficient, safe, and joyful for everyone who works here. Below you’ll find a full overview of our 2026 membership benefits, followed by a detailed breakdown of the changes that took effect on January 1, 2026.
