PLEASE NOTE: OPEN STUDIO IS NOT A CLASS
No instruction is provided. Open Studio is independent practice time for potters who are already comfortable on the wheel. A studio attendant is on site to open the space and help with pickups, not to teach. If you’d like guidance, sign up for one of our wheel classes instead.

Three hours, one wheel, no assignments. Open Studio is your time to practice, experiment and make the pieces you’ve been thinking about all week, in a relaxed studio with other makers around you. Throw your pieces and we’ll take it from there: our studio team trims them once they’re leather-hard and gets them ready for the kiln.

WHAT’S INCLUDED

3 hours of wheel time
5 lbs of studio clay
Trimming by our studio team
Up to 4 pieces bisque and glaze fired
Studio glazes and tools
