Additional Info

  • Comfortable clothes you don't mind getting a little messy. Long nails can make it difficult to work with clay!

  • Just yourself! We have all the supplies. If you have favorite tools, feel free to bring them.

  • Open studio is for self-directed creating. We're around to answer quick questions and point you toward supplies, but this isn't instructional time. Looking for guidance? Check out our workshops instead.

  • We'll hold your finished ceramic pieces for pickup. Bisque pieces can hang out for 2 weeks while you decide on glazes. Once your pieces are glazed and fired, please pick them up within 4 weeks of when we let you know they're ready.
