Open Ceramics Studio

Tuesdays, 4-8 p.m.

 

Need a space to hand build or throw on the wheel?  Open studio is an opportunity to work fully independently on your pottery, unlike the pottery classes where an instructor is provided. You’ll have access to the studio equipment and tools.  

 

How to Join: 

  • Register on our portal using any registration button. At that time you will pay $75.  This will cover the materials costs (25 lbs. of clay and use of HCA glazes) and firing. 

  • Come to open studio as it is convenient for you on Tuesdays between 4 and 8 PM, on a first-come basis each week. Cost of open studio is $15 for the first hour and $10 for each additional hour.  We won't charge you for studio time until you show up. 

  • The art room is a shared space so plan time to clean up your area before leaving!

  • You must take unused clay with you, pieces in progress may stay on shelves.  Bring an appropriately sized container to transport it back and forth.
