open studio: clay
work on independent clay projects

Registration is required for this event; this is not a drop in opportunity. 

​

Open studio is the opportunity for people to utilize our materials and equipment to work on personal projects in our clay studio. Think of it like an independent study in clay!

Students will pay a fee of $40 that includes use of the studio for 3 hours, 2 pounds of clay, paint-on glazes and kiln firings. Additional clay can be purchased for $10 per pound before or during open studio hours.

The Clay Studio Manager will be present to answer questions and can help with simple projects, so you don’t need much experience to join. if you are looking to use our pottery wheels, we do ask that you have some experience using that equipment. Other equipment available includes a slab roller, clay extruder, molds, a variety of texture tools and stamps, and more for hand-building projects. If you have a specific project in mind come with sketches or printouts!

We have a limit of 6 wheels, so choose the "Wheel Only" ticket option when registering if you wish to use one during open studio hours. Non-wheel spaces are limited to 12 per open studio.
